Decatur County Journal

September 29, l898

Died, at Garden Grove, Iowa, Sept. 20, l898, after a long illness,

ELSIE, wife of GUY P. ARNOLD, aged 44 years.

ELSIE PAULINE HOWES was born at Oak Creek, Milwaukee County, Wis., Jan.

28, l854; and moved with her parents to Mendota, Ill., in March, l868.

Later, in March, l870, the family moved to this place.

She was married to GUY P. ARNOLD Jan. 20, l872, and has since lived in

our midst a universal favorite with all who came under the influence of

her genial and sunny temperament. Her children mourn the loss of a

loving, tender mother; and her friends will find it hard to fill her

place in their circle. The saddest feature of MRS. ARNOLD's death is

the absence of her husband in Alaska. His grief no one can measure.

But he and the family have the sincerest sympathy of all who have known

them during their long residence here, and they are offered all the

kindly help a sympathetic community can give.
