            SUFFOLK. 

Many Matters of Interest Picked Up in and Around Town. 
       Special to The Landmark. 

  Suffolk, Va., April 19. - [...] 

  Mr. C.M. Howell died of consumption at his home, in Franklin, this afternoon 
at 6 o'clock, surrounded by weeping relatives and friends.  Mr. Howell was a 
prominent merchant of the above town, popular, and a young man of much 
promise.  He was just thirty years of age. and had been sick for a long time, 
though it was not expected that death would claim him so soon.  He was a son 
of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Howell, and left a wife and two young children, besides 
many relatives and friends, to mourn their loss.  Only a few years ago was he 
married to Miss Minnie Rawles, daughter of Mr. Elisha Rawles, of Nansemond 
county, and a cousin of Hon. R.H. Rawles, of Suffolk.  Mr. Howell was much 
loved for his many noble traits of character, and was also the idol of his 
parents, having always been a good and dutiful son.  He was well known and 
highly esteemed here, and the many friends of the family unite in extending 
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones.  The funeral will take place at 5 
o'clock to-morrow afternoon in Franklin.
