HOWES.— Ida Estella Harmon was born in Genesee County, New York, Dec. 14, 1854, and died at her home in North Star Township, Gratiot Co., Mich., March 15, 1911. At the age of fifteen she, with her parents, moved to Battle Creek, Mich., and a little later to Potterville, Mich. Through a series of meetings held at that place by Elder E. B. Lane in 1872, the third angel’s message was brought to her home, where it was gladly accepted by the family. Sister Howes was a faithful child of God, and dearly loved by all who knew her. On Dec. 27, 1881, she was married to Harold D. Cooper, of Jackson County, Michigan. To this union one child was born. In 1885 she was left a widow, and in 1889 she was married to Francis H. Howes. Sister Howes is survived by her husband, her aged
parents, one brother, one sister, and one daughter. Many friends and loved ones mourn her death. Interment took place in the Ithaca cemetery.
