Howell, Emma [Martin]

Stroke Fatal To Mrs. Emma M. Howell, 78
Mother of Alden and Laurence Martin Howell Died On Saturday—Funeral Tuesday
Mrs. Emma Martin Howell died Saturday afternoon at her home on Vine street. Four weeks ago Friday she had been stricken with paralysis and her death was the result of this. Although she was con[s]cious the entire left side was affected and her family and friends had feared she could not recover.
Mrs. Howell as the daughter of William Henry Harrison and Susanna (Roadarmour) Martin was born near Northup Oct. 18, 1860 and so had passed her 78th birthday a little short of two months. She was one of a family of four sisters and four brothers of which the only survivor is Mrs. Augusta Smith of Columbus.
Feb. 9, 1879 she was married to Francis M. Howell, who died in 1914. They had decided on a farm on Little Clay Lick in Harrison township, but one year after Mr. Howell’s death, or 1915, she came to Gallipolis to reside in the home in which she passed away. Two sons survive: Laurence M. of Mt. Sterling, Ill., and Alden L. at home; also one grandson, Frances L. Howell, of Mt. Sterling. The death of her only daughter, Mrs. Ethel Layne, in May 1935 was a great grief from which she never quite recovered.
Mrs. Howell was an estimable woman, a devoted mother, a good friend and kind neighbor. Prior to her removal to Gallipolis she was a member of the Macedonia Christian church. Her membership was later transferred to the Grace M. E. Church of this city.
Funeral services will be conducted Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock at her late home by Rev. W. Scott Westerman. Burial will be in Mound Hill cemetery by George J. Wetherholt & Sons. The pall bearers will be selected from the nephews of the deceased.
