Mt Clemens Monitor, Oct. 14, 1904 Davis. Rev. Elijah W. Howe, who was spoken of in the Monitor last week as being seriously ill, passed away last Saturday morning, in the 82d year of his age. A double affliction to the family was brought on by the sudden sickness and death of his wife, who was taken ill at the supper table Friday evening and survived only three days, passing away on Monday evening. Mr. Howe's funeral was to have been held on Tuesday, but was postponed and a double funeral held on Wednesday, and they were laid to rest in one grave in the Davis cemetery. They were both natives of New York, but came to this state in early childhood, and were therefore among the early pioneers of this town. Her name was Jane Wetley, and they were married in 1846, having lived a happy life together for more than 58 years. They both joined the M.E. church soon after their marriage and have been very active members until a few years ago when illness prevented them from active church work. Mr. Howe was licensed to preach in 1857, and had always been a great help to the church in his ministerial services. They leave two daughters, Mrs. Jay Warren, of Olivet and Mrs. Spicer Warren of Capac, and eleven grandchildren, who have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. Thus the pioneers are fast passing away, but few being left in this vicinity. Mt Clemens Monitor, Oct. 21 1904 Ottis Warren, of New York, grandson of Rev. and Mrs. E. W. Howe, who were buried last week, arrived here on Monday and with two daughters, Mr.s J. M. Warren, of Olivet, and Mrs. L.P. Warren of Capac, are settling the affairs of the deceased.
