Federal Prohibition Agent Charles Edward Howell

Thanks all of you for honoring Charles Edward. He was my great grandfather. He was an honorable man cut down in the prime of life, raiding a still on the north bank of the Tennessee river in Decatur, AL. His death left his wife with four children to raise, and very few resources for doing so.

All of the children had to go to work. My grandfather was 11 years old when he took his first job mucking out stalls at a livery stable.

The sacrifice Charles made impacted our family for decades.
