Edith Edna Howe, daughter of Mary and Samuel Howe, was born in Taylor County, Iowa. Her father passed away in her infancy.
When a young girl she came in a covered wagon with her mother and brother to Phillips County, Kanssa, where her home has been continuously since that time.
She taught school for a number of years until her marriage to E.M. Whitten at Glade, Kansa on Feb. 1, 1900. Two children were born to this union, Ida and Harold. Mr. and Mrs. Whitten lived on a farm for 25 years, then moved to Phillipsburg where they have continued to reside to the time of her death, which occured at this home, November 27, 1942 and concluded a life of usefulness and encouragement to others.
Mrs. Whitten lived an active, devoted life in the interest of rightousness. She united with the Methodist church in her childhood and to this faith has ever been true. She died trusting implicitly in Jesus as her Saviour. She was ever an active, willing worker in the church and Sunday School which she greatly loved and for many years was a Sunday School teacher, counting this work a joy and a priviledge. In 1906 she became much interested in the work of the Women's Christian Temperance Union and served as president either of the local or county unions for 15 years.
She was a devoted wife and mother always striving to bring comfort and happiness to her family. She was a great lover of flowers and delighted in making her home cheerful and bright with them. She was always appreciative of kindness shown to her and as a true neighbor and friend, was ever tender hearted and thoughtful of others. Especially did she deeply appreciate the many deeds o kindness done for her during her illness. She met every situation in life in the true pioneer spirit.
Besides her husband, she leaves her son Harold of Phillipsburg, her daughter Ida, a teacher in Wisconsin, one brother, William Howe of San Fernando, California, several nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends.
Mrs. Howe bore her afflicition with enduring patience and a triumphant faith and fortitude that enabled her to approach the close of her earthly life with calm confidence and spiritual victory. With thoughtful interest in her loved ones and in anticipation of entering into her eternal reward, she carefully planned with them much of the detail of these funeral services. Her last days were a joyous trust in God, that He would care for His own and that she should dwell in the His house forever.
