A. A. HOWELL DIED MONDAY MORNING
        ___________
WAS MANAGER OF TEMPLE COTTON OIL COMPANY GIN IN BROKEN BOW.

A.A. Howell, age 62, passed away at the family residence in the west part of
town Monday morning at two o'clock.  He had been in failing health for more
than a year, but had been confined to his home for only the past two weeks.
Friday he was on the streets of Broken Bow, and apparently was improving,
but Sunday night he took a turn for the worse and his death occurred soon
afterwards.

Funeral services were held at the First Methodist Church Tuesday afternoon
at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. A.R. Luton.  Burial followed
in the Broken Bow cemetery under the direction of the Skaggs Funeral Home of
Idabel.

Pall bearers were:  A.M. Bunch, George Love, W.M. Adcock, J.P. Adcock, Jack
Currence, and Rex Chandler.

Mr. Howell came to Broken Bow nine years ago and has been manager of the
cotton gin here of the Temple Cotton Oil Company of Texarkana.  Before 
removing to this city he resided at Idabel three years.  He was a good
citizen and his passing away is regretted by the entire community.

Mr. Howell was a splendid gentleman in every respect and leaves a large 
circle of friends and relatives who mourn his death.  He was a consistent
member of the Methodist Church, a splendid neighbor and an excellent husband
and father.

He is survived by his wife; one daughter, Mrs. John A. Roberts, of Broken
Bow; three sons, Jesse T. Howell, Broken Bow; V.H. Howell, Los Angeles, 
Calif., and Lee Howell, Jayton, Texas.  Three brothers also survive.  They 
are W.S. Howell, of Panhandle, Texas; Z.E. Howell of Wellington, Texas, and
Sam Howell of Brownsville, Texas.

The News deplores the death of this good man, and joins many friends in
sympathy to the bereaved ones.
