Funeral services for the late Marcus Stuart Howard were held June 4, 1996, on what would have been his 90th Birthday, at Chapel of the Hills, Forest Lawn in Hollywood Hills, California.
Born June 4, 1906 in Davenport, Iowa, one of 11 children of John FitzAlan Howard and Sarah Drucilla Sears. His father, John FitzAlan Howard, published the first Encyclopedia of Chiropractic (The Howard System), and in 1906 founded the National School of Chiropractic in Davenport. The school is still in existence and is now located in Lombard, Illinois. His paternal grandfather, John Richards Howard, was a member of the Arthur Brown Co. of Mormon handcart pioneers, and was famous for bringing the first mowing machine to Salt Lake Valley in 1864. His maternal grandfather, Isaac Sears, was the owner of Salt Lake City's largest feed and grain store located next to ZCMI in 1878.
Marcus Howard was a 1924 graduate of LDS High School in Salt Lake City and attended Utah Agricultural College (Utah State) where he studied horticulture, played football and competed in other college level sports. In his later years, he remained an active participant in competitive sports, competing in several World Senior Olympics in St. George, winning a gold medal in the shot put in 1989.
Marcus Howard was a faithful member of the LDS Church serving as a high priest in the Glendale, California 2nd Ward. He enjoyed his fishing vacations to the beautiful color country of Southern Utah and staying at his son's Santa Clara, Utah home.
He was an ardent history buff, a member of the Autry Museum of Western Heritage and held membership in the Utah Historical Society.
During the Great Depression years, he worked for the WPA in Jensen, Utah building the quarry site for what is now Dinosaur National Monument. After moving to Los Angeles, he became the family chauffeur for child film star, Deanna Durbin, and worked at Savage Boat Works in Los Angeles making life rafts during World War II. He retired in 1971 after 31 years as a landscape horticulture supervisor for the Los Angeles Unified School District.
His wife, Mrs. Helen Young Howard, whom he married in 1939, preceded him in death in 1988. He is survived by his seven children, Marlene Warme, La Canada, Calif.; Caroline Wukelich, Pasadena, Calif.; Marcus R., Murray; Craig M., Santa Clara, Ut.; Deborah Cameron, Kenneth S., both Glendale, Calif.; Winnifred Westwood, Burbank, Calif.; 11 grandchildren; and one great grandchild; one brother, Lloyd Howard of La Verkin, Utah.
