Well Known Negro Dies Suddenly Mon. Afternoon
----------

Old Uncle Elias Howard, aged negro, and well known to practically every man, woman and child in this section died very suddenly about 3 o'clock Monday afternoon at the home of Sara Green as the result of heart trouble of which he had been suffering for some time past.

Old Uncle Elias has been a very familiar character in this city for a good many years and he enjoyed a great host of friends not only among his own race, but of the white people as well, and his passing leaves a tinge of regret with all that knew him. He will be grealely missed. Although in his declining years he was practically blind and his body has been crippled with rheumatism he was ever cheerful and always had a good word for everyone.

He was buried on Christmas Eve in the colored cemetery at Antioch.
