Mrs. Mary A. Shows Howell, 74, widow of the late Ernest Shows (believe this to
be a misprint; should be Ernest Howell), died suddenly last Wednesday, August
12, while visiting her son, George Howell, in Jacksonville, Fla.  She had
enjoyed watching a television program the evening before and passed away in
her sleep.

Funeral services were held at the Atlanta Methodist Church at 3 p.m. Monday
with Rev. A. W. Townsend of Shreveport officiating.  Burial was in the Atlanta
Cemetery.  Hixson Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.

Deceased was born on May 15, 1876 in Winn Parish and was a resident of Atlanta
until 1925.  Following her husband's death in that year she moved to
Shreveport, where she had resided until recently, when she spent several
months in Baton Rouge and then went to Florida to visit her son.

Surviving are two sons, Fred of Shreveport and George in Jacksonville; two
daughters, Mrs. E. C. Capron, Baton Rouge, and Mrs. H. S. Smith, Nashville,
Tenn., two brothers, J. W. Shows, Atlanta, and Ben Shows, Bogota, Texas; and
