Howard, which occurred at her home early Sunday morning the 12th inst. Mrs. Howard was one of our best known and most loved women; she was a life long member of the Methodist church, a consistent Christian, a loving mother and a devoted wife. She was in feeble health for more than a year, but her death was very sudden and unexpected. To her grief stricken companion of forty-three years, was offer our heartfelt sympathy; to her loving children we would say: “that mother is not dead, but sleepeth,” and in the trials of life her good example will shine brighter and in the happy meeting beyond the river of pain will be forgotten. After the service at the Methodist church, Monday evening, conducted by Rev. J.T. Mims, a large number of sorrowing friends and relatives accompanied her remains to their last resting place in the new cemetery north of the railroad. – Reynolds Hustler The Butler Herald Tuesday, November 28, 1893 Page Three Reynolds, Ga., Nov. 20th 1893 By L.A.B. On Sunday morning last the 12th inst., Mrs. Robert Howard died. She was about sixty years of age. A lady of refinement, a consistent member of the M.E. Church with her membership at Reynolds. In an impressive manner her funeral was preached by Rev. J.T. Mims. There were present a large concourse of sorrowing friends. After services she was followed to the ceremony by the congregation and her body laid to rest. We left her grave beautifully decorated with choice flowers emblematic of her pure life just closed. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family.
