Death of an Estimable Lady.

  Mrs. Eva Grace Howarth [sic], died at the family residence, 1019 
Fifth avenue, at 7 o'clock yesterday morning.  Although she had been

family.  She was the wife of E. C. Howorth, who survives her, besides 
her parents, Mr. John Currie, select councilman, and wife Margurite; 
one brother, Horace, of Roanoke, and one sister, Mrs. George Johnston, 
of this city.  She is also survived by two sons, Dill, 8 years, and 
Currie, 6 years of age.  Her age was 28 years.  She was preceded to the 
grave by her child 19 days old, just one week ago yesterday.  The 
family have the heartfelt sympathy of the community in their sad 
bereavement.  The funeral will take place Monday from the residence of 
her parents, 314 Eleventh street, at 2 o'clock.  Interment in Fairview 
cemetery.

Will be Buried To-day.

  The funeral of Mrs. Eva Grace Howarth, wife of E. C. Howarth, will 
take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the residence of her 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Currie, No. 314 Eleventh street.  In the 
funeral services the following ministers will take part - Revs. J. N. 
Munden, A. W. Spooner and H. R. Bender, D.D.  The interment will be 
made in Fairview cemetery.  Yesterday many of the friends of the dead 
lady called at the house to take a last look at the face of one who was 
so beloved by all who knew her.  Her body reposed in a handsome casket 
and her face bore no trace of pain.  Indeed, it was the face as of one 
who was but sleeping.  In the room, filling the air with their perfume, 
were lovely flowers from the establishment of George Hawksworth.  At 
the head of the casket was a beautiful ivy cross, bearing on it the 
word "Eva."  The husband and parents have the sympathy of all in this 
bereavement which has come to them.
