Of him the editor of the Herald wrote:- "It is with sorrow that we chronicle the death of Bro. Philo Howard, a counselor to the Bishop. He was a faithful and fearless witness for Christ, loved by all, respected for his many sterling qualities. About a year ago he was taken with some kind of disorder of the throat, by which his speech was injured. He thought that it would soon wear off; but it continued to grow worse; until, notwithstanding his great personal worth, the fervent prayers of the saints, the frequent administration of the ordinance for the healing of the sick, and the remedies which skill prescribed, he gave up the contest, and has gone to rest, his body to the grave, his spirit to the paradise of God. Two strong pillars were taken when Dimic and Philo Howard laid down the weapons of their earthly warfare."- The Saints' Herald, vol. 15, p. 83. Obituary: "At the Batavia Branch, in Blackberry Township, Kane County, Ill., Bro. Philo Howard, in the forty-ninth year of his age. He was born at Ellisburgh, N. York April 6, 1819 and died Jan. 25, 1869."42 | ||||||||||||||||
