Howell D. Watkins
Mr. Howell D. Watkins Called By Death--On Saturday, at his home, 69 E.
Georgia Avenue, Atlanta, Mr. Howell D. Watkins passed away. Funeral
services were held at the residence on Sunday afternoon, and the body was
brought to Holly Springs, in this county, for burial, the interment taking
place on Monday. Mr. Watkins was born, reared and lived most of his life
at the old Watkins home at Holly Springs. He joined the Methodist Church
at that place when a small boy, and was a leading factor in every movement
that had for its object the progress and uplift of the people of that
section. Reared in a Christian home, his aim in life was to establish a
Christian home of his own, and the fact that his only son is now one of
the North Georgia Conference’s leading ministers, is proof that by precept
and example he walked in the footsteps of his Master. Mr. Watkins was
about 64 years of age. Three years ago, his health was so bad that he was
forced to retire from active work. In order to be under the care of a
specialist, he moved to Atlanta, where he resided at the time of his
death. He is survived by his widow; by one son, Rev. W. T. Watkins, of
Atlanta; by one daughter, Miss Sara? Watkins; one sister, Mrs. J. B.
Beatty of Tampa, Fla.; by six brothers, B. M., J. J., H. M., R. A, B. W.,
and Rev. A. P. Watkins.
