GERTIE HOWARD Batavia Herald, 25 July 1895 DIED: At her home near Bald Mound, Friday, July 19, 1895, Mrs. A. E. HOWARD, after an illness of four months, aged 28 years. Deceased was formerly Miss Gertie WELSH, and was married to Mr. HOWARD in 1889. To them was born one child, a daughter, who preceded the mother to the spirit world about 2 years ago. The blow is a very sad one to the husband as only a few short months ago he was called upon to lay away his mother. The funeral was held from the home Sunday, at 1 p.m. conducted by Rev. J. D. Leek, and the remains interred in the Sugar Grove Cemetery. Contributed by Julie Dresser on 7 May 2001 who can be contacted at jrdresser@mail.owc.net and welcomes queries about this family.
