ISAAC EDGAR HOWELL

   I.E. Howell, well-known Franklin citizen, died at his home in High Street 
Tuesday afternoon, from a stroke of paralysis sustained about two weeks ago. 
He was in his 74th year and was born in the South Quay community, Nansemond 
County, the son of the late Michael and Mrs. Elizabeth Howell, a member of a 
family of seven boys and four girls.  He is survived by his wife, who was Miss 
Pattie Rawls of Isle of Wight County; a daughter, Mrs. J.D. Rawls, and five 
grandchildren, Misses India, Elizabeth, Evelyn and Linda Rawls of Franklin and 
Edgar Rawls of Suffolk; one brother, J.R. Howell of Franklin; one sister, Mrs. 
Odie Rountree of Suffolk, and a large family connected here and in Suffolk and 
Nansemond County.

   Mr. Howell lived in the Whaleyville community as a young man and came to 
this town about 48 years ago, being a partner with his brother here in the 
firm of J.R. Howell and Company for many years.  He had served on the Town 
Council and for the past several years had been constable here.  Joining Great 
Fork Baptist Church in his youth, he united with the local Baptist Church when 
he moved to Franklin and was a member of its board of deacons for 30 years or 
more.  He was quite active in the Knight of Pythias, where he had been a 
member for 42 years, and was a Past Chancellor and District Deputy Grand 
Chancellor of that order.  He was also a member of the Masons, Odd Fellows and 
Woodmen of the World.

   Funeral services were conducted from the Franklin Baptist Church yesterday 
afternoon at 3 o’clock by his pastor, Rev. R.D. Stephenson, with interment in 
Poplar Spring Cemetery.  The burial rites of the Pythian order were held at 
the grave.  The body bearers were: M.E. Lawrence, D.A. Holland, D.R. Butler,
