Lawyer W. Howard
Page 700: 
"Lawyer W. Howard was born in Broome County, New York, December 31st, 1834, 
and is a son of Samuel and Nancy (Rogers) Howard, both natives of that State.  
When he was fourteen years of age, the family moved west and settled in 
Jefferson county, Wisconsin, on a farm.  Here the son grew to manhood, and 
two years after reaching his majority, was married to Miss Harriet Hoskins, 
who is a native of the State of Ohio.  In 1865 they came to Butler County, 
and settled on section 14 of Shell Rock Township, where they now own a farm 
of eighty acres.  Mr. Howard is at present a member of the board of trustees 
and has served in that capacity several years.  He has also held other school 
and town offices.  His father died during the year of 1874.  His mother is 
still living and resides in Wisconsin.  Seven children have been born to the 
subject of this sketch, of whom four are now living - Frank Elmer, Fred 
Lincoln, Samuel Whiting and Nancy Irena.  Mrs. Howard died December 11th, 
1882, at the age of fifty-four years and seven months.  While not a member of 
any church she was a kind, loving woman, a good wife and a loving mother."
