Last year some of my reenactment troop were involved in the opening
cerimonies for Tulip Fest on State Street.

After the streets got washed and swept we stopped in to pay our respects to
Lord Howe at Saint Peters.

There is a plaque in the floor of the vestibule and a pamplet published by
the church that gives a bit of the history.

A gentleman, the Deacon as I recall, was quite informative on the history of
Howe. It was stated that little remained of the Lord when the remains were
last moved. I am sure if you contact the church they would be able to supply
what answers they can.
