JAMES F. S. HOWLAND, a man, who, by his own initiative, hard work and good
judgment, has made a success and is now the proprietor of the general store at
Meloland. Mr. Howland came to Imperial County in June, 1914, and was born at
Lampton Mills, Canada, September 2, 1880, a son of Fred A. and Jane (Ford)
Howland. His father died in 1883, and is buried in western Ontario, and his
mother is a resident of Los Angeles, California. The Howland family is of old
English origin and descendants of John Howland of Puritan fame. James F. S.
Howland acquired his education in the schools of Toronto. At an early age he
engaged with the Gutta Percha Rubber Company, where he remained for a period of
three years. Coming to Los Angeles, he became identified with Howland & Company,
a kodak supply house. Here he remained for seven years. Mr. Howland then took up
ranching near Los Angeles, and upon coming to Imperial County he rented land for
one year. He then engaged in business at Meloland, which he has carried on up to
the present time. Mr. Howland, owing to his energy and business foresight, has
achieved success by earnest and upright dealings. He was married in Los Angeles,
May 28, 1914, to Miss Myrta E. Turk, daughter of Frank S. and Sarah T. Turk. Her
father passed away in June 9, 1913, and her mother is a resident of Los Angeles,
California.
