After an Illness of Four Months Mrs. Bertha Howe Passes Away.

  At 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs. Bertha Howe, beloved wife of 
Mr. Joseph Howe, died at her home, 1535 Tenth street.  She had been ill 
for the past four months, a sufferer from numerous troubles, and death, 
therefore, came as a great relief.  The deceased was the daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. James O. Hughes, of this city, and was 24 years of age on 
the 20th of the present month.  On June 21, 1899, she was married to 
Mr. Howe who survives her as do her parents, and also eight brothers 
and one sister - John, Henry, Charles, James, Ralph, Clyde, Robert, 
Arthur and Miss May, all of this city.  Mrs. Howe was a member of the 
Eighth Avenue Methodist Episcopal Sunday school in which she took great 
interest.  The body will be taken to-day to the residence of her 
parents, 1603 Sixth avenue.  The funeral arrangements will be announced 
later.
