OBITUARY

Miss Emma Ellen was born in Nodaway county, Mo., Oct. 26, 1866 and died at her home in Hanley, Iowa at 11 o'clock Wednesday night, Dec. 17.

She was married to E. E. Howard at St. Charles, Sept. 14, 1884, making a frugal, industrious wife until her death. The husband and one child, a little girl three years old, survive her, an infant child preceeding her to the grave a few weeks ago.

Mrs. Howard has been almost an invalid for the past two years or more, her failure of health dating back to an attack of the measles, consumption being the cause of death.

Her husband, E. E. Howard is station agent at Hanley, having recently prepared a comfortable home by building a new house there. But now the home has lost its charms for him and the companion in whom he confided and with whom he had launched upon the sea of time, has gone on to a home elsewhere.

She was a member of the M. E. church and left evidences of a Christian's hope and reward behind her.

Rev. Williams preached the funeral sermon at the M. E. church the day following the death and a large number of people accompanied the sorrowing husband and others to the last resting place of one whose life will ever remain before them as an influence for good. "A small voice still whispers: "How transient are all things earthly."
