WELL KNOWN MAGNOLIA WOMAN DIES

Mrs. George H. Howard Passes Away After Severe Illness

Mrs. George Henry Howard died Thursday evening, following an illness
lasting several weeks, and causing much suffering. The end was not
unexpected as it had seemed impossible that she should recover.

Besides her husband she leaves three children, Mrs. William Dougherty and
Grant Howard of Magnolia and Mrs. Warren Porter of the town of Porter,
three grandchildren, her mother Mrs. Worthing of the town of Center, one
sister, Mrs. Nay Gillman of Evansville, three brothers, Harley Worthing of
Overton, Neb., Charles Worthing of Los Angeles, Cal., and Ernest Worthing
of Center. 

She was a devoted wife and mother, loved by all who had the privilege of
knowing her. She possess an unusually strong character. Her life and memory
will remain as an inspiration to her friends. Although she was not a member
of the church, she was a strong believer in the Christian religion and
faithfully practiced its teachings of thoughtfulness for others.

The funeral was held in the Adventist church in Magnolia, Sunday afternoon,
and was in charge of the Rev. D. Quincy Grabill, pastor of the
Congregational church of Evansville. The funeral was very largely attended
and the church was far too small to accommodate all whow ere present. The
burial was in the Magnolia cemetery.
