History
For many years, there has been some confusion as to the correct name of this cemetery as it has been called either “Adam Howell” or “Adam Howe” Cemetery. Actually, the proper name is “Adam Howald Cemetery”.
However, as “Adam Howell Cemetery” has been used the most often, particularly in recent years, cemetery officials, upon learning of the proper name, have decided to continue with the common name- “Adam Howell”
Adam Howell Cemetery is named for Adam Howald who gave the land for the cemetery in 1871and is buried there in an unmarked grave. A German immigrant, Howald had a somewhat dubious reputation and came to an untimely end when he was killed while stealing chickens
