The Schley County News  Friday, May 27, 1910
On Tuesday morning May 24th, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. 
Jasper Murray, of Oglethorpe, and took therefrom, Mrs. E.B. Howe, the mother 
of Mrs. W.D. Murray of our city.  Mrs. Howe was born in Monroe county, 
February 22nd, 1829, and was in her eighty-second year.  She has always been 
noted as a woman of rare accomplishments, frugal, industrious and ever ready 
to help those who need help.  As the mother of five children, four of whom are 
living, she was ever loyal to her duties, and left for them an example worthy 
of emulation.  For many years she resided in Ellaville and here she drew to 
her a large circle of friends.  Those who knew her best loved her most.  
Possessing a splendid disposition and an inherent desire to do all things that 
were rightful, she shed a good christian influence on every one with whom she 
came in contact.  Her trust she had stayed upon the Lord.  The grim reaper had 
no dread from her.  Having lived for more than three score years and ten, she 
was ready and when her spirit winged its flight to the great beyond, wecould 
all truthfully exclaim, a good woman has gone.  Well could Solomon say of 
her, "She maketh herself coverings of tapestry," for her hands were ever busy, 
doing for herself and others.  The world is better for such woman having lived 
in it.  They are the very salt of the earth.  By their noble deeds, they 
enrich the lives of others, and exert an inestimable influence.  Mrs. Howe is 
survived by three daughters, Mrs. P.H. Williams, of Americus, Mrs. Jasper 
Murray, of Oglethorpe, Mrs. W.D. Murray, of Ellaville, and one son, Mr. Robet 
Howe, of Sumpter county, besides a number of grand children and several great 
grandchoildren.  Her funeral was conducted from the residence of Mr. and Mrs. 
H.J. Williams, Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock, Rev. R.E. Bailey officiating, 
and her remains were interred beside those of her husband, who preceded her to 
the grave several years ago.  Thus another Mother in Israel" has gone to her 
reward.  We tender the bereaved ones our sincerest sympathy, feeling that they 
have one more link to draw them Heavenward. 

Additional Comments:
The Howes are buried at Ellaville cemetery.  Husband's initials were J.T. 
according to his marker.  Anyone know his name or Mrs. Howe's maiden name?
