The Lake Odessa Wave, Wednesday, March 30, 1904
Elizabeth Olmstead was born near Ypsilanti, Mich., December 6, 1839 and died 
at her home in this village, Saturday March 26 at 3 o’clock a.m., of 
consumption, having been gradually on the decline for more than two years.  
She was married to Edward R. Howlett at Augusta, Kalamazoo Co., Mich. Dec. 17, 
1855.  To this union were born eight children, all of whom survive her.  They 
are George Howlett, Hygeine, Col., Herbert, Marion, Mich., Mrs. C. J. Bretz, 
Albion, Mesdames F. W. Compton, J. W. George, John Drake, Walter Post and 
George Richards of Odessa.

The deceased had been a resident of Ionia county for 32 years, the greater 
part of which was upon the farm five miles northwest of this village, and 
moved to the village three years ago.  The husband preceded her to the spirit 
world over two years.  Mrs. Howlett was converted about 35 years ago and was 
an earnest follower of her Savior to the end.  

She was a member of the U. B. church and the funeral was held from that church 
yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock.  The services were conducted by Rev. Wm. 
Olmstead of Chicago, a nephew of the deceased who was assisted by Rev. 
Scouten.  Interment was made in Lakeside cemetery.
