Private Albert A. Howe of Viola, though from Linn County was during all his life well known and esteemed in Anamosa and Stone City. He was the youngest son of William Howe and Bridget Howe and was born Dec. 28, 1893. He grew to manhood on the farm near Stone City. Private Howe left with the contingent for Camp Gordon in July, 1918, and sailed overseas in September. He contracted influenza on the voyage and was taken to the Hospital in England where he died in October. He is survived by his parents, also five brothers and five sisters. A letter from the Chaplain who attended him during his last sickness was received by his mother and states that every comfort of religion and all human agencies were at hand to aid the departing life. Private Howe was a strong, robust young man and only the virulence of a fatal malady could have so quickly overcome the strong physique. | ||||
