TAMPICO TORNADO

February 6, 1897 AT REST

Death has once more called from our midst a loved on, and in response to this call Mrs. George has returned to that land from whence no traveler returns. Mrs. HOWLETT had for the past five months been suffering from consumption and in hopes of benefiting her health her husband took her to Dalton, Ga. After her arrival there she seemed to improve at first, then rapidly failed and died Jan. 29, 1897.

Mrs. Elizabeth RUCK-HOWLETT was born in Fairfield, Ill., March 9, 1863, where she resided with her parents during childhood. She married Geo. HOWLETT, Feb. 11th, 1880 and their union was blessed with four children, two boys and two girls. Mrs. HOWLETT was a woman much respected by all who knew her. She was a loving and indulgent mother, her home was her happiest place and her aim was to make all around her happy. Her funeral took place in the M.E. church Sunday afternoon, Rev. S.M. HILLIARD officiating. The house was crowded and it was a long procession that followed her to the cemetery where she was laid at rest.
