Funeral Rites For Former Post Citizen To Be Held Today

Post Dispatch
January 21, 1943

Funeral services for Odus Allen Harwell, former Post citizen will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at Terrace cemetery with Boy Scouts of Post in charge of the rites under the direction of Scoutmaster Fred Shropshire minister of the Church of Christ.

Howell died on January 19, 1943 in Marfa, Texas, where he was employed. He was born on June 14, 1887. He had been in the restaurant business for more than twenty years and operated cafes and restaurants here intermittently for a number of years. Before going to Marfa he was employed as caretaker of the South Plains Area Boy Scout camp for two years and made more friends among the scouts than any person who had ever been employed in that capacity. Boys of this area council will long remember the many good deeds and the fine companionship they had with Harwell.

Survivors are a daughter who lives in California and a brother who lives in Tennessee.
