HOLLIS WATTERSON HOWELL:  Hollis W. Howell was for many years one of 
the faithful members of the Island Baptist Church.  He was born in 
Island, McLean County, Kentucky, on November 13, 1893, and was the 
son of James E. and Hallie Eaton Howell.  He attended the grade 
schools at hand, the Utica High School, Owensboro Business College, 
and Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky.
	He professed faith in his youth and united with the Island 
Church being baptized by Rev. H. P. Brown.  This was about the year 
1905.  He remained a member of this Church until his death.  In that 
time he served the Church as Moderator, Treasurer, Sunday School 
Superintendent, and as a Sunday School Teacher.  No Church ever had a 
more consecrated and loyal leader than Hollis W. Howell.  He was the 
messenger from this Church to the Association on many occasions and 
also served on the Executive Mission Board.
	He married Miss Lula Kirtley on November 29, 1913.  Two sons 
and one daughter blessed this union.  One son preceded him in death.  
He died as the result of an accident on March 13, 1942.  Thus the 
brief life of this tactful, noble Christian man came to an untimely 
end.  He was a good man and his influence and life counted for 
Christ.
