STRAWBERRY POINT: Funeral services for Harley Howes were held at his home, Wednesday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. James E. McLain, pastor of the Congregational church. Hymns were sung by Eldon Stafford. The pallbearers were: Wm. Haufle, Ray Kellogg, Omar Malone, Freddie Moser, Arnold Baker and John Lee. The body was placed in the receiving vault on the Strawberry Point cemetery until spring, when interment will be made in the County Corners cemetery.

As a son of Lewis and Adeline Howes, he was born April 11, 1863, at Littleport and died at his home on West Mission Street, Monday morning, following a heart attack. Last August, while at his farm west of town, he fell on the cement driveway and suffered a fractured hip. He was taken to the hospital in Oelwein where he was cared for, for some time, and wanting to come home was moved here where he has been confined to his bed. He has spent his entire life in and around Strawberry Point. His parents and sister, Mrs. Paul (Mary) Paulson, preceded him in death.
