The Ionia Daily Sentinel-Standard, Tuesday, June 25, 1935
William Howk, 73, died at his home in North Plains Tuesday morning following a 
long illness.  He had been in poor health the last year but had been seriously 
ill for several months.  He was born at Chesterfield, January 1, 1862, the son 
of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Howk, but he has lived in Ionia county nearly all of his 
life and all but one year since his marriage on the same farm.  He was married 
to Miss Jennie Case of Ionia township January 1, 1883 and for the past five 
years they have resided in North Plains township.  

Mr. Howk was among the early members of the North Plains church and had always 
been a faithful worker for the interests of the church.  He was also a member 
of the North Plains Arbor of Gleaners and of the Maccabees.  Mr. and Mrs. Howk 
observed their golden wedding anniversary in 1933 with a celebration at the 
North Plains church. 

Surviving are the widow, two children at home, Grace and Jay Howk, and several 
nieces and nephews.  

Funeral services will be held from the north Plains Union Church Thursday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock with Rev. Paul L. Stewart, pastor of the Church of 
Christ officiating.  Interment will be at North Plains cemetery.  The body 
will lie in state at the church from 1 o’clock until the time of the service 
Thursday afternoon.
