Henry Howell was born December 20, 1847, in Greene County, Tenn., and is a son of Henry and Martha (Lowe) Howell. The parents were born in Tennessee, where they received a subscription school education and were reared and married. To them nine children were born, seven of whom are living: Andrew, Adam, Thomas, Henry, Margaret (wife of J. T. Morton), Catherine (wife of John Burchfield) and Emily (wife of Z. T. Waters). In 1850 Mr. [p.1157] Howell immigrated to Arkansas on a flat- boat, settling first on Lee's Creek near Van Buren, where he lived five years. He was the founder of Uniontown, where he farmed until his death in 1884, aged seventy-two. He was constable and deputy sheriff. The mother is now eighty-one years old and enjoying good health. Philip Howell, the grandfather, was born in Tennessee, and a soldier in the Mexican War. His wife was also a native of Tennessee. Hugh Lowe, the maternal grandfather, was of Irish parentage, and died in Tennessee. Our subject received a common-school education, and lived with his father until after coming to this county. When sixteen he enlisted in the Confederate army, served under Capt. Brooks about one year, and participated in the battle of Fayetteville. After returning home and farming ten years, he engaged in the mercantile business, and is now doing a flourishing business in connection with his farming. He owns 160 acres, eighty of which he cultivates, and has also a cotton- gin, grist and saw-mill. In 1862 he married Sarah Jackson, a native of Illinois, and daughter of William Jackson. To them six children have been born, all save one now living: Rosa, Manta, William H. and Martha. Lillie is deceased. Mr. Howell is a Democrat and Royal Arch Mason. He is a public spirited man, and interests himself in the educational advancement of the county.
