John McKinney Howell

Notes

Betty Traver notes:

"Graduated from Mercer University. Obtained his M.D. from what is now Georgia Medical College in 1859."

"During the Civil War he was a guard at Andersonville Prision - when he returned home he was never the same"

"John McKinney Howell was born in Houston County, GA. The Johnson and McKinney Howell lands gave out about 1830 and the whole town of White Plains, including the McBrides moved to Houston Co. When the railroad from Augusta to Atlanta was built, guano (fertilizer) could be shipped to Ga farmers. The R.R. reached Union Point, Greene Col, about 1836, so everyone moved back to grow cotton again on the old properties. (Guano is bird droppings, came mainly from Peru; supplanted by chemical fertilizers. Cotton depletes the land terribly."

From "Forty-four Families":

Dr. John McKinney Howell, known to his friends as "Mack," was born August 13, 1833, in White Plains, Georgia. He was the son of John Johnson Howell and Elmina McBride Howell. Mack Howell died May 3, 1889, in Americus, Georgia, where he is buried..

The following article was taken from The Christian Index, dated Thursday, June 27,1889, p. 102
"One of our noblest and most lovable Christian men has recently passed from earth, Dr. John McKinney Howell. At the time of his death, May 3, 1889, residing in Friendship, Sumter County, Georgia, but during most of his life, a citizen of Greene and a resident of White Plains. He was born August 13, 1883, being the eldest child of John Johnson Howell and Elmina McBryde.

His early religious and educational advantages were good and he grew up to manhood loved and respected by all. In 1856, he graduated from Mercer University, then located at Penfield, Georgia, and two years thereafter from the Medical College in Augusta.

"As might be inferred, Dr. Howell, when first starting out in life, began the practice of medicine but not finding it congenial to his taste, soon gave it up and devoted himself to the labors and the duties of the schoolroom,
teaching with distinguished success at different places in Georgia; Magnolia Springs, Franklin, White Plains and finally at Friendship. His real life work however, as an instructor of youth, was done at White Plains, his childhood home. Here for nearly twenty years, he was the honored principal of Dawson
Institute, a school which can number among its former principals such noted educators as R. T. Asbury, R. V. Forrester, and V. T. Sanford, from which has gone forth some of the most eminent men of the state. Here, too, it may be added, for more than twice twenty years he lived and labored and sacrificed for the good of others, and so endeared himself to all of every age and class and race, that during long years to come his name will be cherished, and his memory prove a legacy of blessing.

"He was baptised and received into the fellowship of the White Plains Baptist Church, October 16, 1859, and thenceforward, even to the day he was called upward, his life proved the reality of his faith. Though naturally modest and self-distrustful, he soon stood in the front rank as a willing, earnest and wise worker for Christ. In the several positions as teacher and superintendent of the Sunday School, and of clerk and chorister and deacon in the church, he was faithful and efficient. As the leader of music, he was especially and eminently successful. An excellent singer himself, he had in high degree the much rarer gift of being able to control and harmonize the voices of others. "His punctuality in religious service is worthy of separate notice. His place in the sanctuary was always filled except a providential ordering otherwise and this was very seldom. In the prayer meeting, the Sunday School, the conference, the public congregation, all expected to see his cheerful face; and if perchance, we saw it not, all were ready to inquire, "Where is Dr. Howell today?"

"As his pastor from the first of his Christian life and for nearly thirty years thereafter, I wish to call attention to a marked peculiarity in his sanctuary attendance-he was a splendid listener. All preachers know what a helpful thing it is to have some of these good hearers. Dr. Howell was one of the best!

"He was noted for his liberality. Though not the largest property owner, he was among the largest givers. He evidently thought it a privilege to give to the Lord's cause, not a hardship. "Sisters, brothers, all you who knew and loved our departed brother, imitate his example in the things which we have enumerated, follow him as 103 he followed Christ.

"Dr. Howell was highly favored in his domestic relations. Not long atter giving his heart to Jesus, he obtained the heart and hand of Miss Emma Berrien Heard of Augusta, Georgia. They were married December 20, 1859, by Reverend J. E. Ryerson. This union was truly a happy one, and theirs was truly a happy home. Both husband and wife, gentle, refined and affectionate, loving the Saviour and loving each other, loving music and song, and lovely chüdren growing up around them; how could it be otherwise? What a mysterious Providence that the bright light of their joyous home should give place to thick darkness! Thank God the darkness is only on the earth side, there is another side where there is all light and glory. "Strong faith can make rifts in the darkest cloud through which lights shall come and illumine even the shadow of death."

Dr. John McKinney Howell, M.D., grandfather of Florence Stewart Howell, practiced medicine a short time. He served as medical Stewart in the War-Between-the-States, MeUs' Regiment, Company C. Georgia Troops. He was the first honor graduate of Mercer University when it was located in Penfield, Georgia. The town of Penfield is seven miles north of Greensboro, Georgia, where Emma Berrien Heard (his wife) graduated at Masonic Female Institute.

JSH notes:

He fought in the American Civil War, spending three years as a private in the Confederate Army. There are several references to his service in "The History of Greene Co." and his gravestone is inscribed "C.S.A." (Confederate States of America)

He was 28 years old when the American Civil War started.

He was a physician for a short period of time, then a schoolteacher. Also "a farmer" in the 1870 Census.

From the "History of Greene Co." p. 411:

"When The Greene Co. Boys Marched to War in 1861"

p. 407: The Muster Roll o fthe 17th Regiment, GA. Militia, Greene Co. lists J.M. "Howell" p. 407 lists rank as private. "There were 6 officers and 148 privates."

p. 229 from a section titled Hisotry of the White Plains School by Miss Helen Kilpatrick. (the school was also at different times known as the White Plains Academy and The Dawson Institute, in honor of Judge Williiam C. Dawson of Greensboro, GA)

"In 1865 Dr. J. M. Howell who had returned from three years of service in the Confederate Army, was elected principal and taught through this year and next when he resigned and moved away."

"In 1871 Dr. Howell again was elected principal and held the position until 1880 when he was appointed County School Commissioner for two terms in succession of four years each. He was then ineligible to hold the position of Principal and his wife Mrs. Emma B. Howell was made principal a second time. In 1887, the school observed the first Georgia Arbor Day, and the large oaks in from of the building were planted. A number of trees were set out but only those of Dr. Howell, Will M. Grant, J. Howell Mapp, William Heard Kilpatrick, Charles Sterling Jernigan and John Pardee lived. It seems fitting that Dr. Howell's tree should have out grown the others, and it stands today as a memorial to him who spent so many of his best years in the service of the school. During the twenty years of Dr. Howell's connection with the school and for many years after, Mrs. Howell served as music teacher, and while it would be impossible to mention all the music teachers who taught during the hundred years of the school's existence, Mrs. Howell's music and her school entertainments held so large a part in the life of the school and its pupils, that this history would be incomplete without some mention of her as a music teacher."

p. 231 "....the County Board of Education took over the property in 1917 when it was changed to the White plains District School, legally the White Plains Public School, but usually called White Plains Junior High."

Gravestone inscription "Surgeon C.S.A. Educator". Spelling of "McKinney" is consistent with spelling of his grandfathers first name. [25, 26, 27, 28, 29]
