The Fort Wayne Sentinel, March 7, 1898, p. 2
Northern Indiana News, W. H. Hower, the well-known Goshen photographer, died last week after and long and painful illness. Mr. Hower took sick three years ago, just after having been a hypnotic subject for Professor Kennedy. He was very superstitious, and the fear of hypnotism so preyed upon him that he lost his mind and health.
