WE NEVER CLOSE Mother Howlett April 7, 1936, Eagle Point witnessed the largest and moat Impressive fun eral service ever held here, when hundreds paid their last tribute to Its oldest and best beloved citizen, lovingly known aa "Ma" Howlett. She had been a resident of Eagle Point for 64 yeara, comlrtg to Oregon 84 years ago, crossing the plans with her parents, at the age of 4 years. On July 16, 1863, she waa married to Alfred C. Howlett near Oregon City, to which union 18 children were born, all except two preceding her In death. Her husband passed away in May, 1924. "Ma" Howlett endeared herself to everyone, both young and old, who chanced to come within the radius of her all Inclusive love and gener osity, it is hard to put Into words the hardships and self sacrifices these old pioneers, such as "Ma" Howlett, had to endure In coming to and set tling this country, and also difficult for the younger generation to con ceive of the .fortitude and courage with which she alwaya met every emergency. No matter how great her own burden or grief, she waa ever ready to lend a helping hand and a word of comfort to others In sick ness and disease. She took homeless and motherless ones Into her home, caring for them as her own, a mother to all. Often In her vnnnmp rion h Walked miles to minister to a nelgh- oor in distress, regardless of the weather, dav or nleht. nevr faltorinir never complaining. She was a niece of Mary Harris , uuQ.mW o.ua vy oiuc with and saw her husband killed by Indiana during the Rogue river In dian war of 1855. Truly it was such dauntless cour age and faith aa this on which this m!?ht.v rninln, na, Hull.., .-. ..... debt of love and gratitude to such as ivioiner nowietl is indeed beyond reckoning. 4 Use Mail Tribune want ads.
