He moved with his parents to Ardmore, Indian Territory, when four years old, and to Rankin, now Reydon, in 1903. He was united in marriage to Verna Mallett, February 1, 1907, at Cheyenne. They went to housekeeping where they have lived since, except five years in Colorado. He was baptised into the Church of Christ 46 years ago and has lived a consistent Christian life since. He leaves to mourn his wife, Verna Yowell, of the home, one son, Billy Dean Yowell, and one great grandson, Jimmy Lee Yowell, of Durham, four nephews, and a host of other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by an infant daughter, his father, mother, two sisters and three brothers. He is the last of his immediate family. He was of the few western pioneers who conserved the soil and used modern farming methods. He entered the grocery and market business in 1930 and operated until his health failed, and his son purchased the business. His friends are numbered by those who knew him. He was a faithful and loving husband and father, and ever ready to help in time of need, always cheerful even in illness. The community is saddened by his passing. Funeral services were conducted Thursday at the Community Building in Reydon with John C. Spurlin, Church of Christ pastor, assisted by Rev. Horace Woodard, in charge. Interment was at White Rose Cemetery, Reydon, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. Cheyenne Star, Cheyenne, OK
