TABITHA PARALEE JOWELL
It is the painful duty of the Star as a chronicler of passing events to chronical the death of another one of those mothers in Israel whose name has been a household treasure in Palo Pinto and Young Counties for forty years, and whose labors in the vineyard of the Master were coequal with the advent of Christianity in Palo Pinto, Jack and adjoining counties. Among the first pioneers, the name of Grandma Jowell was universally beloved and almost idolized. Whenever her missions of mercy were called for she was ever ready to respond to suffering humanity. She was universally looked upon as the messenger of mercy, always in sympathy with the suffering and oppressed of every class. Grandma Jowell raised a large family of honorable sons and daughters and an extensive progeny of grandchildren. Grandma Jowell cherished the hope that she would live to attend one more reunion of Old-Settlers, which convened July 22nd at Mineral Wells. But alas we are again reminded that in life that death is ever in our midst. This good old mother of 82 years was summoned to appear before the giver of all mercies on July 21, 1896, so the writer was informed, while sitting in the door at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William Metcalf. Her remains were interred in the Strawn Graveyard.
James Abercrombie Jowell and Miss Tabitha Paralee Jowell were married at Marion County, Alabama on 22 April 1832. They came to Texas in 1834, living for a time at Marshall before returning to Alabama briefly. They returned to Texas accompanied by Mrs. Jowell's family and settled at Rusk in 1844.
