Howke* C. A.
CO. E, 16th IND. INF.
d. Mar. 1, 1904
FROM OBIT;
He was a Union soldier in the Civil war and a pioneer in the settlement of Neosho county, coming here in 1866.
He was a member of the Sixteenth Indiana volunteers, and served in the same company with City Marshal J. M. Allen. Mr. Allen, in speaking of his comrade this morning, said: "Buck,' as we called him was a good soldier. He served three years, thirteen months of which he spent as a prisoner of war at Tyler, Tex. He was a faithful, obedient man, and I do not know that during the time he was with the company he ever missed a roll call or shirked a duty."
After the war Mr. Howke came to Kansas and settled, taking a claim near where Shaw now stands. About ten years ago he gave up farming and moved to Chanute, where he has since resided. He leaves a widow and eight children-four sons and four daughters.
