General Notes: Husband - Richard Harris Howe

---

His education was acquired in the public schools of New Brighton, Pennsylvania, and at an early age he was obliged to take up the serious business of life. He commenced his business career as a young lad, by carrying papers, when only nine papers were taken in Beaver Falls. When he commenced assisting his father at his brick laying work, he was still so small that his hand could not reach across the width of the brick, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen years, he was able to do a man's work. Later he established himself in business as a contractor, and in 1886 he commenced to manufacture brick, an industry he carried on in connection with his general contracting business. For many years he was closely identified with both of these lines of industry, and was very successful in his undertakings. In political matters Mr. Howe was a Republican with Socialistic tendencies, and served as a member of the board of elections. He was reared in the Protestant Methodist faith.
