ELI HOWELL, railway policeman for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, at
Bowling Green, is a native of Simpson County, Ky., born in 1819.  At six
years of age he was put to live with Dudley Howell, an uncle, and with him
remained until twenty-one years old.  He was reared on the farm and
attended the pioneer schools of Simpson County.  March 4, 1841, he came to
Bowling Green, and here has since resided.  On coming to this city, he
erected the Bowling Green Flouring-mill, and continued to conduct this
mill for three years, and then sold the enterprise.  He has been connected
with the Louisville & Nashville Railroad for three years, at the depot of
this place.  The marriage of Mr. Howell was solemnized in 1841, with
Eleanor S. Claypool, a native of Kentucky.  To this marriage were born six
children, as follows: Eliza, John C., Henry B., Dudley F., Daniel and
Sidney.  Mrs. Howell died in 1872, and the next year our subject married
