HOWARD.--H. s. Howard, vice
president of the Mahaska County
State Bank, received telegram about
six o'clock Tuesday evening telling OF
the death of his brother, Edwin SEQ.
field Howard, which occurred at Whit.
tier, California, yesterday afternoon.
The funeral will be held at Whittier
and interment made at that place.
Death was due to tuberculosis, with
which the deceased had suffered
through an extended term of years.
Ed Howard was an Oskaloosa boy,
was we'll known throughout city and
county, and was prominent in bust
ness and social circles up to the time
of his departure for the West in quest
of health improvement. He was a
member of the pioneer grocery firm,
Howard & Sons" and later of How
ard Brothers" He finally became
sole owner of the business that was
located on the south side of the park
in the building now occupied by the
10. P. Dede tailor establishment. Mr..
Howard was prominent Mason and
being OF public-spirited nature his
name was connected with many of the
movements that have helped to make
the Oskaloosa of today. The deceas'
ed was the youngest of five children
or Henry and Mary Scofeld Howard
He leaves widow, a daughter, Miss
Hazel, son, Bailey Howard, who
have been living at Whittier, Calfor
MIA, during period of about three
years; two brothers. Harry S. of Os
kaloosa, and George F. of California
and two sisters, Mrs. Maria l.. Has
kell and Mrs. Flora A. Gleason, wife
of Horace w. Gleason, both of Oska
loosa.
The death of MI Howard came as
la surprise and shock to relatives
land friends and was unlocked for, al
though all knew that he was quite III
and had been confined to his bed. He
had been better until recently and had
planned upon entering business in the
West. Upon returning to Whittier
some months ago, however, he had
been worse and he knew he could not
be actively engaged in business again
| He, told in letter to relative thai
he would remain at Whittier and pa
tiently wait for the end. Recent let
ters from the family, while mention
ing the father, did not state that he
was in a serious condition. The man
mad been confined to his bed and had
lived through force of will through q
number of weeks. The son Bailey
was member of the Whittier High
school and the father expressed g
wish to live until after the graduation
of the boy. Bailey graduated with
his class at the June commencement
and in the opinion of relatives here
the wish of the patient having beer
fulfilled, he gave up and was ready tc
go and did not longer oppose the com
ing of the grim reaper. The family
and the resident relatives have the
sympathy of all who knew the How
ards during their residence here.
