After an illness of many months duration, Mr. Richard L. Howell, 70, beloved resident of Bartow County for many years, passed away at his home here late Friday evening. He had been in failing health for some time and the end was not unexpected.

Born in Bartow County in 1887, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Steve Howell, Mr. Howell spent much of his life-time here, although he made his home in Cherokee County for a number of years. He has many prominent family connections here and had a wide circle of friends throughout this section. He and his wife, the former Miss Alice Elliott, only recently celebrated their fiftieth anniversary.
Besides his wife, he is survived by one son, Mr. Jesse A. Howell of Cartersville and six daughters. They are Mrs. B.T. Abernathy, Mrs. Silas Hardin, Mrs. E.R. Abernathy, and Mrs. J.M.
