contradiction on the memorial #78520920 for James T Howell. I found a marriage record for James and the wife, Mary Ellen Castell, mentioned in the obituary that states his parents are Joseph D Howell and Jane E Workman, different from the parents linked in the memorial. This record can be found at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/KCW7-8Q9?treeref=L7GJ-2K5%3Bhttps%3A%2F%2Ffamilysearch.org%2Ftree%2F%23view%3Dancestor%26person%3DL7GJ-2K5 or by searching for James Thomas Howell or Mary Castell on familysearch.com and clicking on the link on their person page. There are pictures attached to them their parents and children on family search.
His widow moved to colorado with the children. Mary was supported by the oldest daughter who never married.
