Monroe County, Georgia Obituaries
John Howard
Died at his residence in Monroe County, on the 9th inst., John Howard, aged
71 years. Mrs. Howard died in the midst of his children, soothed in his declining
moment by their affectionate and careful attentions. He was a member of the
Masonic Order of Knight Templars and we believe, identified in religious
faith with the Baptist denomination. Full of honors and ripe with years,
his spirit has departed for that happy abode where the wicked cease from
troubling, and weary are at rest.
