The first regularly printed journal of the Savannah-based Georgia Historical Society was published in 1917 and contains a wonderful biography of Evan P. Howell.
This document, belonging to my great-great Aunt Rosalie Howell, somehow never made its way to the huge mass of papers she donated to the Atlanta Historical Society. It was held by my father Robert L. Foreman, Jr. who was likely given it by his father Trot.
Although the article is anonymously credited to "A Georgian," there is no doubt in my mind that this loving tribute was authored by none other than Aunt Ros. Ros later become a prime mover in the creation of the Atlanta Historical Society, so that her Howell papers would have a safe and permanent haven.
