OBITUARY

Mrs. Harriet Hoxie Howard

Mrs. Harriet Howard died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Vie H. Campbell,
on Saturday morning, Feb. 24th, 1906.

Harriet A. Hoxie was born in the town of Milton, Maine, Aug. 10, 1821. She
was married to Charles Howard and came to this state in 1845, settling at
Cooksville. In 1860, the family moved to Kansas, making the trip overland.
At the breaking out of the war, they returned to this state; a few years
later they again moved to Kansas where they resided until the death of Mr.
Howard, Dec. 1, 1894.

Then Mrs. Howard came to this city to reside with her daughter.

Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Howard; of that number only two are
left to mourn the loss of mother, Mrs. Campbell of this city and Allen
Howard, of Vernon, Kansas. Besides her daughter and son, she leaves one
sister, Mrs. Geo. Backenstoe of this city. Mrs. Howard was a woman of
excellent qualities and was greatly loved by all who knew her. Several
weeks ago she fell and dislocated her hip, but through the weeks of
confinement she was a most patient sufferer, and was cared for most
tenderly by Mrs. Campbell and her daughter Pearl.

The funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Campbell at 2:30 Monday
afternoon, Rev. Jas. Churm officiating. Appropriate music was sweetly
rendered by Mrs. Wilder and Miss Hallie Ames. Interment in Maple Hill
Cemetery.
