At Home of Son, Henry, 1017 Atchison. Lived In Count 64 Years Piloted Teams Across Plains and Was Prosperous Farmer For Many Years. Atchison county lost another of its highly respected and pioneer citizens today, when death claimed Nat Howell. Nat Howell was born in Fayette county, Pa., November 3, 1847, and came to Kansas, and to Atchison county, when this county was to a large extent undeveloped. He was nine years of age when he arrived, and he grew up and prospered with the country about him. It was in 1856 that Nat Howell's father, Amos A. Howell, impelled by a desire to seek better opportunities for himself and his family, left their little home in Pennsylvania, and came west across the plains to Kansas. They settled on a farm in the northeast part of Grasshopper township, and it was there that Nat Howell spent a great part of his boyhood. When a lad of sixteen years, he went out onto the plains as a guide for wagon trains, and spent several years as a scout, before returning to his father's farm. for forty years Nat Howell was a prosperous farmer of Grasshopper township, where he raised a great deal of fine stock, in addition to harvesting the fruits of the land. He was one of the very highly respected men of the district in which he lived, and had friends all through this part of the country. When his father, Amos A. Howell, who had established a prosperous ice business in Atchison, passed away in 1907, Nat Howell moved to Atchison, and succeeded him as manager of the business. The Howell plant was located on North Sixth street on the site of the new Roosevelt school building, and for many years most of the homes in Atchison were supplied with ice which had been cut from the Missouri river, and stored in the large frame Howell warehouses. Four years later,k in the fall of 1911, Nat Howell retired from the ice business and closer the North Sixth street plant. The first of the buildings was torn down soon after the plant closed, and the others were dismantled within the past three years, to make way for school buildings and other improvements. In 1866 Nat Howell married Miss Georgia Greenawalt, of Leavenworth. She passed away in October, 1908. For the past three years Mrs. Howell had been in poor health, but it was not until about two months ago that his condition became serious, and he was confined to his home, 1017 Atchison street. Death claimed him at 10:15 this morning. A daughter, Mrs. Lydia Garrett, Mayetta, Kansas, and three sons, Amos A. Howell, Prosperity, Kansas; William G. Howell, Holton, Kansas, and Henry C. Howell, 1017 Atchison street, survive Mr. Howell. There are also eight grandchildren, and twelve great grandchildren. Nat Howell's real name was Nathanial, but to his hundreds of friends and acquaintances he was known simply as "Nat." Politically he was a strong Democrat. He held membership in both the Modern Woodmen and Knights of Pythias. Arrangements for the funeral service have not been completed, but the service will be held either Saturday or Sunday, at the Sawin & Douglass chapel. Interment will be in the Old Huron cemetery.
