Western Carolinian (Salisbury NC) 14 Jun 1825
Died

At his residence in this county about 5 miles from this place on Wednesday the 
8th instant, Capt. John Howard, in the 75th year of his age. He was a staunch 
whig and a soldier during the struggle of our fathers for a political existence, 
from '76 to '83; he buckled on his armor and bared his breast to the storm of war 
that howled through our country at that gloomy and portentous period. Thus are 
those men, from whom we inherit the blessings of republican institutions, 
dropping into the grave; and soon we may, with melancholy truth exclaim, in the 
language of divinity, "Our fathers, where are they!"
