At an early age he united with the Presbyterian church at Murrysville, Pa., and during the 35 years of his membership in that church he served as trustee, elder, and Sunday School Superintendent. About six and one half years ago with his family he moved to Crocker from Oklahoma, where he had gone in search of health for his daughter. Coming in our midst a stranger he soon identified himself with the Christian faith (?) of the town and placed his letter (?) in the Presbyterian church. Here he served as Sunday School Superintendent and teacher. He will be greatly missed not only in the Presbyterian church, but also in the town and community. He leaves his wife, three sons, one daughter, and one brother besides a host of relatives and friends to mourn his loss. We extend to the family our sympathy in this their hour of sorrow.

Howard, an old and highly respected citizen of Crocker, passed away at his home in this city on Thursday, January 31 at 2 o'clock a.m. at the age of 77 years, 4 months, and 12 days after a lingering illness. Funeral services were conducted at the family home at 2 o'clock p.m. Friday February 1st by Rev. Geo. F. Bell, after which the body was laid to rest in the Crocker cemetery. Of the immediate family three brothers and one sister survive him: T. S. Howard of Marshfield, W. A. Howard of Wall, Texas, Ed Howard of Crocker and Mrs. Lucinda Farris, who kept house for him since the death of his wife about four years ago. C. H. Howard was born near Waynesville in this county September 19, 1741 (prob. 1841), and, with the exception of a few years in his youth, when the family removed to Hickory county, had lived in Pulaski county his entire lifetime. Mr. Howard enlisted in the Confederate Army while living in Hickory county, but returned to Pulaski county at the close of the war and soon after accepted a position as clerk in the store which was conducted by Joseph Fibleman at Humbolt. When the Frisco railroad which was then building reached Crocker, or soon after, the store was moved here. Mr. Howard and his cousin, Frank Colley, purchased the business in 1871. These two were in partnership for a number of years and then Mr. Howard purchased his cousin’s interest and took his brother Tom Howard, in with him. In 1892 he sold his interest in the business to J. A. Rayl, father of Dr. J. E. Rayl of this city and lived a retired life until the time of his death. Mr. Howard was a successful business man, well liked and highly respected by all who had known him through his long residence in this vicinity. Always kind, courteous and charitable, there are many who know of his generosity to those in need who received his unostentatious aid in many ways. His passing brings a feeling of deep sorrow to many friends who extend their sincere sympathy to the bereaved ones.

After short services, held by the writer, his little body was laid to rest beneath the sod in the Zion cemetery, to await the resurrection morn of the redeemed of the earth. We loved him, yes, we loved him, But angels loved him more, And they have sweetly called him To yonder shining shore Those baby lips are hushed and still; Our hearts yearn for his smile, But if we do the Father’s will, We’ll meet him after while.
