We are sad to report the sudden death of Jacob Howe on October 31, 1921, caused by a stroke of paralysis, which took him, while he was turning the cream separator in the evening about six o'clock, his wife discovering him a few minutes afterwards. Mr. Howe was a very quiet and peaceable neighbor, and will be greatly missed. He was a loyal grange member, having held several important offices, and attended the state grange several times. He leaves a wife and one step-daughter at Glenwood to mourn his loss, also a brother in the East, and an uncle in California, He was born in Cassy County, Ill., in 1858, and came west about 25 years ago, having resided about 20 years at Glenwood. Interment took place in the Grange cemetery on Nov. 3. There were many beautiful floral offerings from grange members, which showed the high esteem they held for Mr. Howe, their departed brother. The grange conducted the burial services.
