  • Notes 
    • Was four years old when his father settled in Bergen (Genesee Co.), NY, where he grew to manhood. He attended public school and when old enough began to do farm work, later supplementing his early education by a course in commercial work and telegraphy at the business university of Rochester, NY, graduating in 1865. He began work at Bergen (NY), where he was employed by both the Western Union and New York Central Companies before his removal to Williamsport, PA, in 1869. He was there engaged on the P & E division until he changed to Northumberland, Northumberland Co., PA, in May of 1872 where he was the ticket agent at Northumberland (PA) for the Pennsylvania Railway Company from 1872 until retirement. Mr. Howell is a Democrat in political sentiment, but he has never taken any active part in politics or public matters. He and his family attend the Episcopal Church. [4]
