Her kind deeds and words have had their effect in making the world better.
Mrs. How has been an invalid for the past three years, having had a stroke of apoplexy from which she never recovered, most of the time she has been confined to her room. The casket and room in which she layed was banked with some of the most beautiful flowers, from friends far and near.

When quite young she came to America and settled in New York City, where she was married to Francis How in 1865, two years later they moved to Council Bluffs and then to Avoca in 1871 where she has since made her home. Through this union three children were born, Frank R. How of Council Bluffs; Harry and Sidney How of this city. She also leaves an adopted daughter, Miss Edith How. Mrs. How came from a family of sixteen children.
The bereaved sons and daughter have the sympathy of their many friends in their deep sorrow.
