Charles W. Howell was one of four children born to William Burdine and Hattie (Pope) Howell, the third and only boy. His siblings were Effie C. Howell, K. T. Howell, and Hattie R. Howell. At the time of his birth, the family lived on a farm in the Howell's District of Cobb county, Georgia.
As a young man, Charles went to school and worked as farm labor on the family farm (see the 1900, 1910, and 1920 census documents). By 1930, his mother had passed away and he was the only child left at home to help his father. By 1940, he drove a truck for a steam laundry.
According to the 1940 census, Charles only had a 6th grade education.
Two of the Howell's neighbors in April of 1940 were the Sollie C. Cole family and the John R. Cole family. One of John's daughters was Clarabel Cole. Sometime after 1940, Charles married Clarabel, the first marriage for each.
Charles passed away on April 4, 1969, in Lithia Springs, Douglas county, Georgia. His will was probated in Douglas county and can be found in the courthouse in Douglasville. He is buried next to Clarabel in the Howell Cemetery with his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.
