Lyle E Howerton was born at Elsmore, Kansas, March 11, 1899, and passed to his eternal reward from his home in Fortescue, MO., on December 31, 1920 aged 21 years, 9 months and 19 days. His death came as a result of a long continued illness, which extended over a period of more than three years, the last two years of which he was almost entirely helpless. Yet amid all of his suffering he never was heard to offer a word of complaint. Often he expressed himself as believing that God had a purpose in all of his suffering, and was perfectly reconciled himself to the will of God. Having been brought up under the influence of the church and Sunday school, he was waiting and ready at any time the messenger came and when the end came, it found him trusting in God, and often during his last illness he expressed himself as being ready and anxious for the time to come, that he might leave the bed of sorrow and suffering and go to meet his Lord and Saviour, and his own mother, who preceded him to the Glory World. After his education in the public school he took a course in business education in the Springfield, MO., Business College. After finishing his work there he engaged in his chosen work as a telegraph operator, but was only fairly well started on his life work when arrested by his fatal illness. He was ambitious, energetic and untiring in all of his work. He leaves to mourn his loss in sorrow, a father, step-mother and two brothers, Glen and Walter and various other relatives and friends that were numbererd by his acquaintance. Rev. H. D. Thompson, the presiding elder of the M. E. Church, South from St. Joseph conducted the funeral services, after which the remains were taken to Elsmore, Kansas for burial in the Old Elsmore Cemetery by the side of his mother. The father, step-mother and two brothers have the sympathy of their many friends in this, their saddest of all days.
