Dr. Thomas Pitchlyn Howell was born at Eagletown, Choctaw Nation, August
28, 1849, the
son of Calvin and Rhoda Pitchlyn Howell. He graduated from Cumberland University and
finished his medical education at the University of Maryland.
Dr. Howell settled west of Davis where he was a successful farmer and
stockman.
He practiced medicine until 1893 and was at one time or another, president of the First
National Bank at Wynnewood, vice president of the First National Bank of Davis, and
president of the Wynnewood Cotton Oil Company.
He was a Mason, a Shriner, a member of the Knights of Pythias and, at
the time of his
death in 1943, president of the Old Settler's Association of Garvin County. Dr.
Howell
was also active in the Methodist Church.
Dr. Howell first married Lizzie Grant, daughter of Tom Grant of Fort
Arbuckle. Their
children were Deila, Daisey and Hickman.
After the death of his first wife he married Hennrietta Wright, of
Paris, Texas, and to them

cemetery.

In the Howell cemetery just outside of Davis, Dr. Thomas P. Howell is buried. In his biographyLaura was married to Tom Youngblood and she had one son, Thomas Howell
Youngblood.
He Married Alvera Jennings from Wynnewood. They has one son Thomas Howell Youngblood, Jr.
Laura's son died a number of years ago, he is buried in the National Cemetery in
Washington, DC.
Laura passed away in, I believe, the 70's.
Her ash's were scattered in the front garden of the old home that Dr.
Howell built.
Her Grandson T.H. Youngblood, Jr, died in the early 90's and his ashs's were scattered in
the
bay of San Francisco, CA.
Alvera Jennings Youngblood Johnson (Married to Paul Johnson, of Davis)
is my First Cousin once removed.
T.H. Youngblood, Jr and his Grandmother, Laura, were very dear to me. This is how I happen
to know this history.
The last paragraph of Dr. Howell's Biography list his death as 1903 it should be 1943
Corrections provided by Bill Howell
This is a biography of my great-grandfather, Dr Tom P Howell..
In the corrections by Ben Crump he states there were no sons by his second
marriage.
That is incorrect. My grandfather, Tom P Howell, Jr was born from that
marriage.
He was a rancher and lived his entire life in the Davis area.
