OVERTON FAMILY LOSES A SON



    Seymour HOWELL, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. E. HOWELL, of Overton was

accidently drowned at Dover, N. J. a few days ago.  The HOWELL family

lived for many years at Nephi, Utah and it was there that Seymour enlisted in

the medical corps when war was declared.  He was stationed for a time at Fort

Douglas.  While being transferred east his train was wrecked and he

suffered injuries.  Soon after this he underwent an operation for appendicitis 

and was again in the hospital for some time.  These ordeals no doubt weakened

his heart and while in bathing his heart failed him and he sank without a

struggle.  The young soldier leaves, besides his parents, two brothers,

Harry, who lives in Nevada and Vern, who is in the aviation service, and

two sisters, Mrs. Florence CHASE and Mrs. Lester BALLISTON of Nephi.  Funeral

services were held in Nephi, the soldier being buried with military

honors.

    The sympathy of the community goes out to this family.
