Howard.—Died, in St. Helena, Cal., Sunday, March 20, 1887, at 8 o'clock, A. M., of consumption, Mrs. Mary E. Howard, aged 37 years, 5 months, 21 days. Sister Howard was born at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and was brought up in the Methodist Church. She accepted the present truth and was baptized in Humboldt County, under the labors of Elder N. C. McClure, and was true to her faith till she peacefully fell asleep in hope of the speedy return of the Lifegiver. She leaves a husband and three sons, besides many friends and relatives, to mourn her loss. Words of comfort were spoken in the Seventh-day Adventist Church, to a full house, by the writer. J. D. Rice.
