HOWE, J. W.
(29 Mar 1917, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
DEATH OF J. W. HOWE
J. W. Howe, whose illness was noted in last week's items from here, died
Thursday, after a short illness of pneumonia.  He had been in poor health
for some time, and had given up his business to travel, when he was
striken (sic) with pneumonia.  Funeral services were held in the Methodist
church on Friday afternoon, and a very large crowd was in attendance. 
Rev. Orgain had charge of the services.  Mr. Howe was sixty-six years old
and had lived in this vicinity for many years.  He has been in the
mercantile business here but sold out a short time before to J. Murray. 
He had a large circle of friends, and all sympathize with the bereaved
wife in this hour of sorrow.
