In Memoriam-joseph Howard.

The passing out to the other life of one
who for more than threc-duarters of a
century has lived in a community. de
serves more than a brief mention as in
the case of the late Joseph Howard.
whose sudden death, the morning of Feb,
Il. after Il few days sickness with pncu-
monia was a painful surprise to his
many friends. Born in the early part of
this century. when advantages for the
Young were far less than at the present,
bv his industry and honesty and his love
for fair dealing. he made his life a sue
cess leaving to his family the heritage
of a good name. To him life was worth
living. and the brightest and best side of
il he carried wherever he went among his
many acquaintance. Gone in the ripe
ness of more than fourscore years. in the
full possession of his intellectual facul-
ties and his sturdy strength, hundreds
will miss the genial kind-hearted "tncle
Joe" To many of us comes Il feeling
akin to that plaintive refrain from a far
off land:
'How beautiful is the world;
How sad it is we must die.
