HOWARD, ELLIS PERKINS—Born September 11, 1885, Boliver, Missouri; Died December 24, 1977, Loma Linda, California.
He was a graduate of Southern Industrial School at Graysville, TN, which later became Southern Missionary College at Collegedale. During 1914-1915 he accepted Elder W. H. Branson's call to assist him in a tent effort in Johnson City, Tennessee. In 1916, after a year of further studies at Washington Missionary College he married Dr. E. J. Waggoner's poetess-daughter, W. Pearl Waggoner, an alumna of Hinsdale Sanitarium and Hospital's first graduating class of nursing (1908), now completing a year's post-graduate nurses' work at WMC, and they dedicated their lives to foreign mission service beginning in the Lake Titicaca area of Peru and also serving Ecuador. In 1917 Ellis P. Howard and his wife were sent to Umuchi, Peru to open up the "Broken Stone Mission", three years after Brother F.A. Stahl had broken a small white stone in two, handing one half to a chief as promise to a teacher to come. During a raid on the Stahl's home, in which it was ransacked, his half of the stone which he had kept in a vase in the living room was lost and never seen again. The stones were never matched. However, communication had been made, and when the Howard's were sent in response to the chief's request for a teacher, Brother and Sister Stahl and five Indian teachers accompanied them over to Umuchi.
After serving as director of the mission in El Salvador and Guatemala, Elder Howard and his Wife pioneered and opened the Seventh - day Adventist work among the Spanish-speaking people in Nicaragua, where he served as President of the Nicaraguan Mission nine years, with headquarters in Managua. He served as President of the Netherlands Antilles Mission, headquartered on the Island of Curacao. The remaining years he lived in California active in church and the Bible study work, as health permitted, the Lord blessing with souls and others rejoicing in deeper studies of the Bible in his personal work. Elder Howard joined his companion of 53 years, to rest in Yuma, Arizona, to await Jesus' voice. Survivors: daughters and son-in-law Vera Mae and Marvin Janzen, Hazel Doreen and Andrew Peters; grandsons, Vernon Porter, Daniel Howard Peters, James Andrew Peters; six great grandchildren; sister, Helen Howard-Philpott.
