Read More	Sept 2, 1915 - Carroll Times - Henry Powell was born in Quina Brook, England, December 5, 1838 and died at Carroll, Iowa, August 26, 1915, at the age of 77 years. His father died when he was just a lad and at the age of twelve he was obliged to go to work to help support the family. He worked as fireman on a naval vessel and has made twenty-one trips across the ocean, the last one some twenty-seven years ago to visit his aged mother. He came to America in the year of 1867 and began work for the railroad. Soon after this he was sent to Ogden and from there he came to Carroll. He was united in marriage to Frances Elizabeth Bannister, March 29, 1868. They were married at Boone but came at once to Carroll and here began their home life, on a farm some ten miles north of town. To this union six children were born: William H., of Carroll; Mrs. M.M. Sornberger, of Salina, Kansas; Frederick J., of Long Pine, Nebraska; Clara May, of Carroll; Mrs. Charles Bowden, of Brunswick, Nebraska; and Flossie Bell, of Carroll. Also Miss Vera Beatrice, a granddaughter, who had always made her home with her grandparents. Mr. Powell was in every way a selfmade man. When deprived of his chance to get to school, being obliged to work to help care for his mother, he went to night school and obtained an education in this manner. He had a retentive mind and remembered well all that he read. He loved to read and continued to read books from the library almost until the last. Brother Powell was converted in his early life, attending the Weslyan church in England and was one of the very few to attend the first Methodist meetings in Carroll, when the congregation met in a single room at a hotel in Carroll. He was very faithful in attendance on devine service, and having good health all his life he has missed very few Sabbath day services during his long lifetime. He was at the last communion service of the church, taking part in the reading of the service. He was a faithful Christian, a good husband and father, and a most excellent citizen. Would that all men could leave this world with as little of anything that was wrong coming into their lives. His enemies if any, are few, while his friends are many. His funeral was largely attended at the Methodist church on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. He was laid away in the family lot in the City of the Dead, there to wait the call of the Archangel, on the ressurrection morn.
