Wednesday, July 20, 1922DEATH OF C. E. HOWELL
Charles E. Howell of Douglas township, died at his home on the afternoon of July 19th, 1922. He had been unconscious for several days and his condition had been very low during that time. He had been having high blood pressure for several years. Although of a rugged constitution, his great energy made it difficult for him to combat his ailment.
Mr. Howell was but 48 years old. He had gained a success in farming with stock raising as his specialty. Financial matters claimed his attention and he had been identified for years with banking.
He was a son of the late Lanson Howell and grandson of Aaron Howell, who located in Madison County in 1849.
His wife, the former Sarah Lovelace, four sons and three daughters survive him.
Funeral arrangements have been made for a service in the Winterset Methodist church on Friday at 2:30 o'clock, with interment in Winterset cemetery in charge of the Masonic order.

Page 6Charles Everett Howell was born Feb. 16, 1864 in Jefferson township, Madison county, an died at his home in Douglas township, July 19, 1922 at the age of 48 years, 5 months and 2 days. He was the son of Lanson and Elizabeth Hughart Howell.
He and his little sister, Olive, lived with their parents in this home until he was about two and a half years of age, when his mother passed over the river, his little sister following soon after. He then moved with his father to live with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Howell, on the old Howell homestead, three and a half miles northeast of Patterson, where he grew to manhood.
He was married to Sadie B. Lovelace, Jan. 30, 1895. To this union were born seven children, all of whom are living: Hazel, who is now the wife of Hugh Bellman and lives on a farm near her old home; Orville, who married Anna Allgeyer and lives on part of the home place; Mardice, who is now the wife of Dr. H. G. Breakenridge and lives in Winterset; Garland, Clarence, Blanche and Aaron, at home. He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife and children, three little grandchildren: Mary Elizabeth and Marjorie Bellman and Charles Irvin Howell; his step-mother, Mrs. Mary Howell of Patterson and five brothers: Wesley of Martensdale, Darwin, Erwin, Russell and Curtis, all of Patterson, besides many relatives and friends.
He was converted under the pastorate of W. W. Williams in the M.E. church at Patterson when 16 years of age. The first six years of his married life were spent one and one half miles east of Patterson on the old Holtom farm, which he purchased soon after his marriage. On Feb. 18, 1901 he moved with his family to the farm in Douglas township, where he lived until his death. After moving to Douglas township, he moved his church membership to the West Star M.E. church, where he continued in the faith until his death.
He was a kind and loving husband and father, and his greatest wish was to leave behind a good example to his children. He knew his days were not many and was reconciled to the will of God and said he had nothing to fear, but was ready when the Lord should call.
He was a member of the A.F. & A.M. in Winterset, also Des Moines Consistory and Za-Ga-Zig Shrine in Des Moines. He was well and favorably known in these fraternal circles and was greatly loved by his brethren and will be missed at all of their gatherings.
The funeral was held at the M.E. church in Winterset Friday afternoon Rev. Giddens of Winterset and Dr. Hilmer of Indianola officiating. Burial was in Winterset cemetery with the beautiful services of the Masonic lodge.
