FUNERALS HELD FOR MURDER, SUICIDE DEAD
Wheaton, Md. - Separate funeral services were held today for a former Salt Lake City mother and her 17-year-old daughter who died in a triple-murder-suicide last Thursday.
Mrs. Elizabeth Takagi, 53, was buried in Rockville Cemetery after funeral services at the Pumphrey Funeral Home at 9 a.m. MST. Services for her daughter, Mrs. Gloria Howard, were held at the same place four hours later. She was buried at the Parkland (sic) Cemetery.
Montgomery County Police closed the case Sunday after concluding that Mrs. Takagi killed her 17-year old daughter and two more of her children and then took her own life because she was upset by the marriage of Gloria.
Mrs. Takagi shot and killed Gloria after killing her other children, twins, Dan and Dianna, 13. Then she committed suicide.
The 17-year old girl was married in September to a 16-year old high school classmate. She was five months pregnant when she was killed.
Elizabeth was the wife of Dr. Yasuaki Takagi, 32, a physician at the National Institutes of Health.
Mrs. Elizabeth Steven McIntyre Takagi was found dead beside the body of her recently married daughter, Gloria Howard, in the kitchen of the daughter's home, about 11 a.m., by Robert T. Howard, Washington D.C. fireman, and father-in-law of the victim. Minutes later police found Mrs. Takagi's twin 13-year-old children, Donna (sic) and Danny, shot to death in the Takagi home 10 blocks away. The children were by a previous marriage.
One police official said that Mrs. Takagi was emotional upset, and was particularly disturbed by Gloria's marriage to Robert Howard of Wheaton.
Gloria will be buried in Parklawn Cemetery.
The father of Dianna and Dan, Philip McIntyre, a Salt Lake City welder, was arranging Saturday for their burial in their native Utah.
She was survived by two additional sons: Steven James McIntyre, 21, Salt Lake City, and Pvt. Jack Merril McIntyre, Ft. Ord, Calif.
