  Obituary- Howard, Julia Julia Wilt Howard was born at Blaine, Penna., December 26, 1873. Died at her home in Topeka, Aug. 1. The funeral services were held at the home, the Rev. H.L. Nelson of Topeka, officiating, assisted by a quartette, friends of Irene's who rendered very beautifully the songs, "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Abide with Me." Miss Helen Scott presided at the piano. The many friends and neighbors and the many beautiful floral offerings bespoke of the high esteem she had won in her new home. She came to Rossville with her parents from Pennsylvania when but a small child. She was married to Eliphalet J. Howard, Oct. 13, 1896. They continued making their home here until a year and a half ago when they went to Topeka where they have since resided .Mrs. Howard had not been in good health the past year and kept her bed for five months, and in that long time one never saw a more patient sufferer. During her sickness and in her absence from her old home and friends, she was always eager to inquire of her friends she had left and of the interests of her old home town, and spoke many times of pleasant memories which came to her there in a religious or social way and hoped she might be restored to her health to enjoy them once more. She appreciated the many kind remembrances shown to her by her friends during her sickness, thru loving messages sent for her speedy recovery and for flowers sent and many other missives to cheer and comfort her. She regretted many times that she was not able to see her friends .She united with the Presbyterian church in her early youth and lived a consistent Christian throughout life and was especially devoted to her home and family. She is survived by her husband, daughter, and father, Daniel Wilt; three sisters, Mrs. F.N. Binns, Mrs. A.B. Jamieson and Mrs. Fannie Silvers and two brothers, J.R. Wilt and I.B. Wilt, all of Rossville. Interment was made in the Rossville cemetery, Saturday, August 2, Amaryllis Chapter, O.E.S., of which she was a member, assisting with the services at the grave.
