"HELD IN HIGHEST REGARD BY FRIENDS"
"Gulfport, Feb. 12. A shock to the people of Gulfport and particularly to those who knew him was the news which spread over the city shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon of the sudden death of Judge T. S. Howwell. Judge Howell's death came while he was arguing a case in court. An active, upright and worth citizien, he literally died in the harness. Soon, all too soon, the news was carried to his home where the deepest sorrow and despair took the place of happiness and contentment. Loyal friends and associates at first benumbed by the spectacle of Judge Howell's tragic death, gathered sorrowfully to do what could be done for the helpless clay which but a few moments before had been a man in all the fullness of mature life and to try to assuage insome degree the bitter grief of his desolated household. To Judge Howell's family and friends there is left on consolation, the knowledge that he was a man and a gentleman in every sense of the word and that in death as in life he was entitled to every honor; that his memory would always remain as pure and unsullied as was his death has been the pricipal topic of conversation on the lips of the foremost men of the city, and without one single exception he has been placed in the very highest rank of citizenship, and none have been unstinted in their praise of his private life and his public attainments. Happilly Judge Howell was not without honor in life and having received the highest esteem and having known the good will of his fellow men before death there is no mockery in those encomiums which are being so freely heard now that he is gone. Tom Stone Howell was born in Paris, Missouri, and was fifty-eight years of age. He was reared and lived until about twenty-three years ago at Hannibal, Mo., He came from a family of no little distinction and attainments and his father before him was a lawyer. The law became Judge Howell's profession at a comparatively early age and his legal career might be said to have reached its culmination when he became probate judge at Hannibal, Mo., though he distinguished himself afterward by much brilliant work as a practicing lawyer. Judge Howell moved to Ellisville, Miss., on account of the health of his first wife, whom he desired to have live in the pine belt of the South. After the death of his wife he again went to live in Missouri, but returned in two or three years to Ellisville where he met and was married to Miss Dora Williams, a sister to Dr. D. J. Willilams, a practicing physician of Ellisville and now a member of the state board of health. Four years ago he moved with his family to Gulfport and purchased a beautiful home on West Beach street. Judge Howell was engaged in the practice of law here and represented numerous large interests, non-resident property owners, and was counsel for several large timber syndicates. He was in comfortable circumstances financially and leaves his family well provided for. He had at heart the interests of Gulfport and was vice president of the Commercial Union and was not only president but the leading spirit of the board of trustees of the public schools and his services in that capacity were invaluable. He it was who first broached in the rooms of the Commercial Union the subject of providing a city cemetery and his effective speech made on that night and his work afterwards resulted in the city's purchase of Greenlawn cemetery. Judge Howell leaves besides his devoted wife, five children, T. S. Howell, jr., Harry, Dan, Ellen and Baby Dorothy. No man was ever more devoted to his family or loved his home with greater steadfastness. His friends are one in saying, "His life was exemplary.' The esteem and confidence of the entire community were is. The funeral will take place at the residence at 3444 West Beach at 3 o'clock athis afternoon and the interment will be in the cemetery here. The services will be conducted by Dr. Grace of the First Baptist Church of Gulfport assisted by Rev. O. D. Bowden of Handsboro, who was Judge Howell's pastor at Ellisville. The following is the list of pall bearers: Geo. P. Hewes, E. L. Hall, Rucks Yerger. W. A. White, N. D. Goodwin, C. G. Steadman. Honorary pall bearers: T. H. barrett, T. A. Wood, C. G. Mayson, Geo. P. Money, R. L. Simpson, George M. Foote, W. H. Buck, Georse S. Dodds, James H. Neville, ?, D, Moore, W. A. King, W. G. Evans."
