Wife of Robert Theodore Howell, married 21 Sep 1892.
Texas Death Certificate #6352.

"So many things happen in life for which we are little prepared. Indeed, it often seems what we least expect is brought to pass.

Nothing could have cast more sudden gloom or sorrow, for her many friends, then the end message, Saturday, that sister Mabel Howell was dead.

This good woman was born October 30, 1873. She was taught from early childhhod by her godly parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Warner, to do that which is right and to have an abiding faith in God's word. She became a Christian at the age of 13 and from this early beginning to the close of her life, she never lost an opportunity for showing her love and loyalty for the cause she had embraced.

She was married September 21, 1892, to Elder R. T. Howell and for twenty years has proved a worthy help mate to that faithful minister of the gospel, being ever ready with her assistance and encouragement in his ministerial workm and when he was away in other parts of the gospel field sowing the good work of the Kingdom, she, with a cheerful heart and steady, would look well to the ways of her own household and direct the daily workon their farm. Then, when Sunday came she would with her children go to the place of worship, where they could be taught in the ways of the Lord. In this she was a noble example to any mother of children.

She was sick a little more than two weeks. While, from the first chances seemed to against her, yet friends and loved ones hoped to the last that one seemingly strong and full of vigor of live would recover.

Though all was done that love and skill could do, on March 2, 1912, her spirit returned to God, who gave it.

One child having preceded her to that silent city, a little less than two years ago, she leaves six others with their father to mourn the loss of one so much loved and needed. She also leaves a father, mother, three brothers, all of Lake Victor, and two sisters, Mrs. W. J. Garrett of Bluffton, and Mrs. Dr. Howell of Burnet. To these I would say: Let not your grief be over much. Though death's call was untimely, yet he foundher not unprepared. And os such it has been said: (unreadable..) ........That we here, in tears, and sadness, wring the hands of our departing loved ones, yet over there, amid joy and rejoicing, we shall see them again in a blissful reunion in that happy heavenly home, and its doors are barred against death and ills."
