PATTIE RAWLS HOWELL

MRS. PATTIE HOWELL DIES AT AGE OF 88 AFTER LONG ILLNESS

   On Tuesday, July 29, the gentle spirit of Mrs. Pattie Rawls Howell, widow 
of the late Isaac Edgar Howell, slipped away to the Heavenly Abode.  The end, 
which came at "eventide," was a happy release for her after a long illness.

   Mrs. Howell was born at Carrsville of June 28, 1859, the daughter of the 
late Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rawls.  She was a devoted and consecrated member of 
the Franklin Baptist Church, the W.M.U., and the Ellyson-Green Circle. 
Although a "shut-in" for 48 years, she never lost her love and interest in her 
Master’s work.  It can be truly said of her that her life was an inspiration 
to all who knew her.  Always kind, patient, and considerate of others, she 
bore her afflictions with a smile.

   She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. J.D. Rawls, with whom she made her 
home; and by five grandchildren, Edgar Rawls, Mrs. J.E. Tatem, and Mrs. Evelyn 
Hughson, all of Norfolk, Mrs. Pat Kelly of Creeds, and Miss Elizabeth V. Rawls 
of Franklin.

   Funeral services were conducted at the home on High Street on Thursday 
afternoon by the Rev. R.D. Stephenson of Cradock, a former pastor, assisted by 
Rev. Randolph Gregory.  A large number of friends was present, and the floral 
offerings were numerous and beautiful.  Interment was in Poplar Spring 
Cemetery.  During the services Joel Cook Holland sang "In the Garden."  And a 
quartet composed of Mrs. Frank Howell, Mrs. R.J. Howell, E.K. Brinkley and 
Joel Cook Holland rendered "Tis Sweet to Trust in Jesus."  "Asleep in Jesus" 
was sung as a duet by Mrs. Frank Howell and Mrs. R.J. Howell.  A poem, "Make 
Me a Child for Just Tonight," was read by Rev. R.D. Stephenson.

   The pallbearers were Dr. Julian Rawls, George Daughtrey, William Cole, F.E. 
Howell, Sr., R.J. Howell, John C. Parker, J.H. Boyd, and Harry Steinhardt.

   Those from out of town who attended the funeral were Dr. and Mrs. Julian 
Rawls, Mr. and Mrs. George Daughtrey, Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Rawls, Miss Lillian 
Rountree, Mrs. J.E. Tatem, and Mrs. Evelyn Hughson of Norfolk; Mr. and Mrs. 
Pat Kelly of Creeds; Mr. and Mrs. F.E. Howell, Jr., and Mrs. Harry Rhea of 
Suffolk; Mrs. Julian Daughtrey of Portsmouth; and Mr. and Mrs. William Cole of 
Newport News.
