General Notes: Husband - Elisha Peairs Howell
He was educated in the public schools and old Elizabeth Academy, the latter school held in the basement of the Presbyterian church. He spent his earlier years on the farm, but after leaving school taught a few terms, then entered mercantile life as clerk for John Walker, Jr. After two years in that position, he was with Van Kirk & Walker for one year, then went West. He was clerk in a Minneapolis shoe store for several years, then moved to Red Wing, Minnesota, where for six years he was a retail shoe merchant, as partner of the firm, Heffelfinger, Howell & Kingman. After this partnership dissolved, Mr. Howell returned to Minneapolis, where for about five years he was manager of a retail shoe store, owned by C. A. Heffelfinger. He finally yielded to the persuasions of his brother, Philip L. Howell, and returned to Elizabeth township and resided on one hundred and thirty-seven acres of the old Colonel Philip Howell farm, which he owned. He devoted his farm to stock raising and general farming purposes. He was a member of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, belongs to the Presbyterian church and in politics was a Republican.
