Elmer A. Howard, 84, died at noon Thursday at the home of his daughter, Mrs.

married to Mrs. Fannie Jenks of Fenwick, and she died in 1937. He was a member 
of the Fenwick Odd Fellows and a member of the Bushnell Baptist church until it 
disbanded.

Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. Edington of Ionia and Mrs. Fred Sponholz of 
Detroit. A third daughter, Mrs. Roy Cuter of Stanton, died in 1941. He is also 
survived by five grandchildren and one great grandchild.

The body reposes at the Stebbins funeral home at Sheridan where funeral
