April 6, 1928 - Jan. 13, 2014
Beloved father, grand-
father and brother, El-
wood Despain Emmett, 85,
died on Jan. 13, 2014, at
his home in Lovell, after a
short but brave battle with
cancer. Elwood was born
April 6, 1928, in Lovell, the
son of Paul Silas and Julia
Eva Despain Emmett.
Elwood was an active
member of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints, where he served in
many callings and touched
the lives of many people.
He served as a teacher in
the Primary, Seventy's
Group Leader, Stake Mis-
sionary and Cubmaster.
He especially loved serving
in the Billings, Montana

from 2002 through 2013.
On July 10, 1952, El-
wood married his sweet-
heart, Clara May Jensen, of
Cowley. They were married
in the Idaho Falls Temple.
Early in their marriage,
he worked for the Johnson
Saw Mill on the Big Horn
Mountains. Later in the
spring of 1957, he began
working for Great Western
Sugar Company/Western
Sugar Company, where he
later retired in the spring
of 1994. He worked year
round and on the sugar end
during campaign. Elwood
was a lifelong Democrat
and once ran for the State
Senate on the Democratic
Party ticket.
Elwood was an avid
rock hound. He loved gar-
dening, and his favor-
ite rose was Betty Prior.
He also loved to experi-
ment in science as he was
always curious about ev-
erything and was always
seeking knowledge and un-
derstanding. He was a 4-H
leader.
Elwood was preceded

May Jensen Emmett; his
infant son Elwood Dale
Emmett; his parents, Paul
Silas and Julia Eva De-
spain Emmett; his two in-

Louis Grant Howe
March 10, 1924 - Jan. 10, 2014
Louis Grant Howe, 89,
died on Friday, Jan. 10,
2014, at the Eagle Cliff
Nursing Home in Billings.
He was born on March 10,
1924, in Kane. This would
have been his 67th wed-
ding anniversary; however,
his wife, Lora Mae Margret
(Wagner) Howe, died 12
days earlier. He and Lora
Mae were married on Jan.
10, 1947, in Billings.
Lou's early years were
spent in Kane, where he
enjoyed the country life to
the fullest. His desire to
get out and discover the
world started early when
he joined the Army at age
16. Once the Army found
out his true age he was re-
leased but only after spend-
ing two weeks on KP.
After a couple of years
working odd jobs, he went
to work for the railroad out
of Greybull. During one of
his stops in Frannie, he
met Lora Mae. Together,
they raised four children.
After the railroad, Lou
went to work for Chica-
go Bridge and Iron, where
he traveled throughout the
county and once to Guam.
He settled in Billings
where he worked for Car-
ter Oil Refinery (Exxon) for
10 years. Then, he helped
establish the Pipefitters
Union Local No. 30, where
he was president for sever-
al years.
While with the union,
he usually worked locally
but at times had to travel
the county to seek work-
mg opportunities. He set-
tled in Colstrip when the
power units were being
built and lived in the area
for more than 10 years. He
retired from the union but
could not help but stay ac-
tive when he and Lora Mae
purchased the Joliet Motel.
After 10 years they sold the
motel and moved to Bill-
ings to enjoy their family
failing health, he and Lora
Mae moved to the Eagle
Cliff Nursing Home in Bill-
ings, where they lived to-
gether in the same room
until Lora Mae's death
just two weeks ago. They
leave behind many friends
and family but will be wel-
comed by many more that
have passed before them.
Lou was preceded in
death by his wife, Lora
Mae (Wagner) Howe; his
parents, William and Lita
(Grant) Howe; brothers
Theodore Howe and Ed-
ward (Pauline) Howe; and
sisters Elsie (Cecil) Snell
and Lulu Belle Howe.
Survivors include his
children, Sandra Black-
burn of Astoria, Ore., Steve
of Park City, Mont., Mar-
Vin (Susan) of Glendive,
Mont., and Gary (Sheila) of
Billings; his brother Riley
(Bessie) of Moab, Utah, and
sister Lucy (Rufus) Snell
of Billings; five grandchil-
dren, (including Stepha-
nie (James) Cox, who was
like a daughter, and six
great-grandchildren. He is
also survived by several in-
laws, nieces and nephews.
Funeral services
will be at 11 a.m. on Fri-
day, Jan. 17, at the LDS
Church in Lovell. Burial
will take place immediate-
ly thereafter at the Denver
