HOWARD The Duluth Millionaire Pioneer Passes Away Special to the Globe DULUTH, Minn., Sept.26--Hon. John D. Howard, one of the pioneers at the head of the lakes, who has been much broken in health for some time, died at 2 p.m. to-day at his rooms in the Morris-McDougall block. Mr. Howard was a native of New Hampshire and was married to Miss Hannah F. Fessenden, of Massachusetts, who died two years ago. They came to Superior in 1856 and removed to Duluth in 1873. Mr. Howard represented this district in the state senate from 1878 to 1882, being elected as a Republican. Five sons and one daughter, Benjamin F., John G., Julius D., Edward C., Mrs. F. C. Gilbert and J. C. Howard, survive him. He leaves a will, and, though there had been some misunderstandings, it is said, he was reconciled to all of his children. His estate is variously estimated at between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000, a large share of which is in cash. He was seventy-eight years old. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon.
