From the LOCKRIDGE HERALD, Feb. 11, 1910, Page 4, col. 3, JANUARY HISTORY, by H. Heaton.

The month was marked by many sad losses - On the 15th at Glasgow, Jane E. Howell died aged 74 years. Mrs. Howell came to this county in 1837 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Workman. She married Joseph D. Howell whose father, John Howell, was a member of the Virginia legislature and after coming to Iowa was a member of the Iowa legislature in the early days, traveling by horseback in both states and carrying his baggage in saddle-bags.
