Belding Banner, 8 Apr 1897

Orleans-Otisco – E.C. Howe who died Monday was born January 21, 1857, on the
farm.  He graduated in Ionia in 1878.  Four years ago he was taken with diabetes
and two years later with heart troubles.  He went to Alma and was there four
weeks for treatment.

------------

Ernest C. Howe died at his home in Otisco a few miles south of the city Monday
morning at 5 o’clock, aged 40 years.

He had always lived on the farm with his mother since the death of his father,
until three years ago when they purchased a house and lot in the city and
resided here for a short time, but becoming tired of city life went back to the
farm again.  For the past year he has been ailing and wasted away under disease
from a stout robust man to a mere shadow of his former self.  A.L. Benedict and
Mr. Peterson were caring for him when he died.  He was unconscious to the last
and passed away quietly.  Ernest, who never married, had many friends.

The funeral service was held yesterday afternoon at the house, Rev. O.J. Golden
officiating.  A number of the order of the K. of P. were in attendance.  The
interment was beside those of his father in Otisco cemetery.  A. L. Benedict and
wife, who have recently arrived from North Carolina will remain with Mrs. Howe
and carry on the farm.
