- Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, July 19, 1911 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - "Asleep In Jesus" - Last Thursday morning as the first rays of the sun were kissing the landscape the sweet spirit of Mary Howlett took its flight from its tired and worn clay tenement and went to the loving embrace of the one who said "Suffer Little Children to come unto Me." Watching, hoping, disparing and again hoping, the fond parents spent weeks by the side of the dear little girl. Neighbors and friends hoped and prayed with the parents for recovery of the child, but Her Father saw fit to take her to the better land and so she answered the summons and fell asleep on earth to awake in the glory of His presence in Heaven where she will finish the life so beautifully began here. Not only in the home but in the whole street of homes was Mary loved, and not only in the hearts of the parents but in the hearts of the neighbors, the school and the church is there sorrow today over the going down of the earthly sun of our dear little Mary Howlett. Mary Julia Howlett was born at Warenbuse Pont, Connecticut, ten years ago last Saturday. When he parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles F. Howlett, removed to this village she was but a mere baby. She was a loveable little girl and made friends readily. In her school and Sunday school she was eager to be one of the best in her work. Last spring she was ill and did not fully recover then another form of disease took hold of her and no help seemed to be sufficient to bring her through to health again. She leaves, besides her parents, a little sister, Dorothy. Her funeral was held, Sunday, at two o'clock, Rev. E. A. Rogers pastor of the Baptist church officiating. Four young ladies sand one selection. A profusion of flowers covered and surrounded the little white casket. The bearers were S. A. Howlett, Harlon Howlett, Frank Mandigo and John Bush, uncles of the deceased.
