HOWELL, S., Union City, TN., then St. Landry Parish, Louisiana

S. HOWELL, OPELOUSAS.--S. Howell, manager of the E. H. Vordenbaumen Lumber
Yard, and agent for Water's Pierce Oil Company, is a native of Union City,
Tennessee, born October 10, 1868.  He is a son of S. and Fanny (Crooks)
Howell, the former a native of Tennessee.  He removed to Tennessee while a
young man, and there married our subject's mother.  While in Tennessee he
served as clerk of the court for many years.

S. Howell was reared in Tennessee and Louisiana, and received his
education in the schools of these States.  He was for several years
engaged with his uncle in nursery business in Dallas, Texas.  In 1887 he
took charge of E. H Vordenbaumen's lumber interest at Lafayette, as
manager.  In the same capacity he came to Opelousas in 1880, and has
charge of Mr. Vordenbaumen's interests here.  Mr. Howell is a young man of
strict business habits and is worthy of the esteem in which he is held.
