April 4, 1906 - February 25, 1974
Son of John and Evalina Newburn Howell
Leslie Howell Sr., a farmer residing near Manchester, died at his home last night of injuries suffered in the afternoon when a truck he was driving on a road on his farm struck a rut and overturned, pinning him beneath. He was 42 years old.
Riding with him at the time was his son, Leslie Jr., 5 years old, who was thrown clear of the truck and suffered bruises of the left arm. The truck was an open top cab.
Howell remained pinned beneath the truck for about 10 minutes while the son ran to the house for help. After he was extricated he was taken to the house and a local physician was called. He had suffered a skull injury, internal injuries and lacerations of the body.
