DIED: - - - Tuesday evening, November 5, at 4:55 o'clock, of hemmorage of
the stomache, Mrs. R. M. Howard, aged 60 years, 4 months and 1 day.
The deceased was the mother of Mrs. Wm. Smith, who resides six miles east of
this place, and also leaves a husband 76 years of age and a son, C. T.
Howard, of Redfield, to mourn the loss of a devoted christian wife and
mother. The Redfield Journal from which the above notice was clipped very
truly says:
Mrs. Howard was loved and admired by all who knew her. In early girlhood she
united with the church and led a life of christian beauty. Kind,
sympathetic, lovable and beloved, she leaves behind her memories of good
deeds done and kind, cheering words spoken to those around her who needed
help, sympanty and encouragement. None will miss her gentle care and kindly
encouragement more than her life partner to whom she has for 40 years been a
source of joy and comfort, especially so since he years ago became a
sufferer from rheumatic troubles that have seriously impared his physical
being. Her life work is ended and her Master has said, "Well done, good and
faithful servant, thou has been faithful over a few things. I will make you
ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
