Death Ends Distinguished Career of Native of Oak Park in Home at Montclair, N. J.
Howard H. Tomlinson, vice president of the National Biscuit company, died at his home in Montclair, N, J., on Wednesday afternoon after a brief illness. He was born in Oak Park and lived here until his marriage twelve years ago.
Mrs. Tomlinson was Miss Frances Ford, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Ford of Oak Park. Both were popular here during their student days and afterward, and news of Mr. Tomlinson's untimely death was a shock to a large circle of friends and to the community.
Mr. Tomlinson, altho but thirty-five years of age, was an officer and executive of one of the largest industries in the country. He was of stalwart figure and until stricken with appendicitis a few weeks ago had always been in what appeared to be perfect health. Death claimed him and interrupted a most promising career. On Wednesday morning Mrs. Tomlinson called her mother here by fone and reported that he was on the road to recovery. An hour later a message brought news of his death.
Mr. Tomlinson was a son of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Tomlinson, for many years prominent in Oak Park. His father died twenty years ago, but his mother, still a resident of Oak Park, has lived to see her three sons grow up and become useful and distinguished men. He went thru Oak Park elementary school and graduated from high school in 1911. Afterward he studied at Wisconsin. He was a volunteer in the World War and was commissioned a lieutenant of infantry.
When the war began he was a member of the Suburban club of Oak Park, composed of young men of the community. This club was wiped out the first month of the war, as the membership volunteered almost unanimously. After the war Mr. Tomlinson took up civil life again. His brother, Roy E. Tomlinson, had been elected president of the National Biscuit company, and he became an employe of that concern and was promoted rapidly to be an officer of the company with offices in New York City and a home in Montclair, N. J.
The surviving members of his family are Mrs. Tomlinson, their four children, the oldest nine years of age, Marjorie, Richard, Elinor and Jean; his mother, Mrs. E. S. Tomlinson of Oak Park; two brothers, Roy E. Tomlinson of New York City and Ernest P. Tomlinson of Oak Park, and a sister, Mrs. Louis P. Benezet of Manchester, N. H.
Upon the news of his death, Mr. and Mrs. Ford, E. P. Tomlinson and Mrs. Harry H. Redfearn, a sister of Mrs. Tomlinson, left for Montclair.
Services were held on Friday afternoon at First Congregational church of Montclair.
