ecutive ability. There was no | better range neighbor to be
 found in Arizona than he and
 no truer friend to those with
 whom he had business relations
 and no man whose word was
 better than his lived in the
 state. Integrity of character
 honesty of motive and upright
 ness of principle were native to
 his blood. He was true
 friend to all, kind to those un-
 der his authority, subservient
 to no one, but just to all. There
 are very few such strong char
 acters in any community and
 those who were his friends will
 miss him, while, at the sane
 time, the memory of him will
 be a strength and a spur
 MT. Howard came of a fam
 fly that exercised a wide in
 fluence in the affairs of tEe
 country since the days of the revolution. His ancestors were
 of the Howard family of Eng land and the branch that set
 tied in the American colonies
 became connected with praC- tically all the first families of Virginia and Maryland. He was connected through mar- riage or blood with the Pagers, Chews, Taneys, Pendletons. Carols of Carrollton and prac- tically all the old families of Richmond and Baltimore. Francis Scott Key, the author of Star Spangled Banner was his relative by marriage and the blood of chief justice Fancy came to him through one of that great jurist's daughters. He was full of anecdotes and in stances concerning many of those old families, and while his lineage made no difference in his relations with those about | him, still with those that were close to him the quality of his blood showed clearly. He was always a gentleman even in the | dust and turmoil of sheep camp.
 MT. Howard was happily married in January 1906 to Miss Mary Alverton Dresbach of Ohio, who faithfully and | helpfully shared the difficulties | of range and ranch life with her husband in northern Arizona, the comforts and higher things of life which came fC them in their comfortable homes both at Mesa, Arizona, and finally in the pleasant surroundings of the beautiful home on North Central avenue, Phoenix, Ari- zona, where they enjoyed the well earned reward III the de- Iightful surroundings and where they took their greatest pleasure in cultivating and cs- splendid collection of flowers and trees.
 MT. Howard suffered from i'll health for several years end his close friends his away was anticipated for some time past. The erd came through a complication of physical troubles on Tuesday and the sympathy of all his friends throughout the state go out to Mrs. Howard, his faithful companion for many years.
