Insurance Salesman.
Twenty-sixth Grand Master of Masons in Ohio - 1867-1869.
DEATH OF HOWARD MATTHEWS
Mr. Howard Matthews, a well-known citizen, died at his residence in this city yesterday morning after an illness of only two weeks. The deceased was a half-brother of Hon. Stanley Matthews, and was about fifty years of age. He held the office of County Auditor for one term, having been elected in 1858 upon the Republican and Know-nothing ticket. He took but little part in politics, and of late years devoted himself principally to the business of insurance.

THE FUNERAL OBSEQUIES OF HOWARD MATTHEWS
The funeral of Past Grand Master Howard Matthews, which took place yesterday afternoon, with all the solemn rites common to the Masonic fraternity, was one of the most imposing that our city has witnessed in many a day. The program was carried out in conformity with that published in our paper yesterday.
At one o'clock p.m. the services over the remains of the deceased brother commenced at the Masonic Temple, Rev. Dr. Grey officiating. In accordance with one of the established customs of the Order, Mr. E. T. Carson presented to the son of Mr. Matthews a "perfection ring." It was after two o'clock before the procession started from the Temple, under the charge of Grand Marshal, J. B.
Covert. All along the line of march, the sidewalks were crowded with people anxious to observe the solemn pageant.
The procession was headed by a splendid body of Knights Templar in their magnificent uniforms, composed of detachments from the lodges of this city, Covington, Dayton, Troy, Toledo, Sandusky and Terre Haute, Indiana. All the Masonic Lodges of the city were represented, and at the rear of the procession, twenty-seven carriages followed.
The procession, starting from the Masonic Temple, moved down Third Street to Race, up Race to Seventh, out Seventh to Freeman, to the corner of Liberty, where the greater portion of the procession returned to the city, leaving a detachment only to follow the remains to Spring Grove Cemetery.
The band from Newport Barricades, and Heidel's Band of this city, lent an attractive feature by their solemn dirges, and although the weather was unpropitious, we have seldom seen a time when the general public manifested a greater interest in the obsequies of a fellow citizen.
