merchant by occupation and died June 30, 1852.  His wife, Antha, was born

was five children, of whom William H., our subject was one.  He was born
in Nicholas County, Ky., May 14, 1842, received his education at
Millersburg, Ky., and commenced his career in life as a merchant at

manners, kind attention to customers, and natural business qualifications,
have been the means of building up a large and steadily increasing trade.
In addition to merchandising, he also deals largely in seeds, general
produce and wool, and is post master at Moorefield, which position he has
held several years.  He was married Dec. 4, 1862, to Miss Mary F.
Robertson, who was born Sept. 2, 1844.  They have two children, viz: Edna
and William D.  Mrs. Howe was a daughter of William Edward and Eliza N.
(Judy) Robertson.  The former was born in Bath County, Ky., March 1817,
and died July 13, 1851.  His wife, Eliza, was born Dec. 25, 1824, is
still living, and is now the wife of Milford Betty (see hist.).  Mr. and
Mrs. Howe are members of the Christian Church at Bethel, Bath County, Ky.
Mr. Howe is an energetic and enterprising business man; is a man of noble
impulses, generous spirit, and always first in any public enterprises.
His political ideas are Democratic.
