Miss Hattie HOWARD

A telegram, announcing the death of Miss Hattie Howard at the home of her sister, Mrs. S.N. Gurney, in Detroit, was received by the family in Allen last Monday afternoon. The funeral party arrived in Allen Tuesday afternoon and the remains were taken to the home of her brother, Fred Howard. The entire town was in mourning at the sad event. For several months she had been ill and last winter went to Detroit in hopes of relief. Her death came as a result of an operation for kidney trouble. Born in Allen March 22, 1860, Miss Howard has always been a resident of that place. Though very domestic she was very active in work in the Baptist church and was always kind and doing for others. The final services were held at the home Wednesday. Mrs. J. C. Whitney and Mrs. F. A. Roethlisberger of this city attended.
