Lake County Bee, August 18, 1926

MRS. GILA HOWARD IS CALLED BY DEATH 
A message came to Frank Henry Tuesday of last week that his sister Mrs. Gila 
Howard of Redding was very ill, and he immediately left for that place where he 
arrived just half an hour before she passed away on Wednesday afternoon, August 
9.    A sister Mrs. W. F. Jensen arrived 24 hours before her sister’s death. 
Mrs. Howard was a resident of Upper Lake for a great many years before moving to 
Redding two years ago and was much loved and respected by all who knew her. She 
was born December 5, 1854 and was married to Gila Howard in 1872 and to this 
union three children were born, Helton E. of Redding; Walter S. of Sacramento 
valley; and George who passed away several years ago in Upper Lake. 
Frank Henry and Helton Howard came from Redding Thursday to make the necessary 
arrangements. 
Besides the two sons left to mourn Mrs. Howard’s loss, there are two sisters, 
Mrs. M. E. Mikesel, of Petaluma, and Mrs. W. F. Jensen of Los Angeles; also two 
brothers, Frank Henry of Upper Lake and George W. Henry of Los Angeles. 
The services were held at 2:00 o’clock Saturday afternoon and interment made in 
the Upper Lake cemetery. 
The family members have the sympathy of the community.
