Rufus K. Howell
Rufus King Howell (1820 – October 4, 1890) was a Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court from April 3, 1865 to January 9, 1877.[1][2][3]
In 1865, Howell was appointed by Governor James Madison Wells to the newly constituted post-Civil War court. Although he formally held his seat until January of 1877, he did not participate in the last sitting of the court held in that month.[4] The court was thereafter completely replaced by the new Democratic administration which took over the state government at that time.
