FORMER CLEBURNEITE WRITES OF OTHER DAYS ( W.H. HOWLE)

Venus, Texas, Aug. 8th

Recently I have received copies of the Cleburne News , one announcing the 
death of my cousin W.T. Howle; the other the death of J.M. Reid, both old 
timers.

It afforded me much pleasure to read the write-ups of the different 
subscribers in your valuable paper, more especially those of D.S. Baber whom 
I have known so long. I am well aware of the fact that many of the old 
mile-posts are down and gone that were standing when I left there almost 39 
years ago. I well remember the days of the Densons and the many melodious 
old songs they used to sing from the old Sacred Harp.

Well, I suppose you are aware of the fact that I lost my wife by death the 
28th of June. She was the daughter of the late S.W. Harlan. She died in 
Terrell, Texas in a hospital and is buried here at Venus by the side of my 
first wife, who was a daughter of the late J.T. Rusk and wife, then 
residents of Chulafinnee.

I was 83 years old at my last birthday and have went through the meandering 
scenes of life since I came to Texas, and am spared yet, for some purpose, 
for what purpose I do not know, but I am waiting for my Maker to call and I 
shall be ready.

I would love to visit back in Alabama again and attend some of the all day 
singings. Love to all, W.H. HOWLE
