The Daily Pilot May 19, 1897

Mr. William A. Howard, who was paralyzed on his entire right side at his home on 
the corner of Highland and Reservoir Avenues about 8:30 o'clock Saturday night, 
died at 7 o'clock yesterday morning.  He was born in Calcutta, India, of British 
parents, but came to this city about thirty years ago at the early age of 17 
years.  Soon after reaching his majority he married Miss Jakeman, who, with five 
children, survive him.  On his first arrival in Norfolk he entered the employ of 
Wm. Lamb & Co., but later on, in the seventies, went to Chicago.  On his return 
to Norfolk he accepted a position with the Baltimore Steam Packet Company, but 
afterwards went with the Norfolk and Western railway as its agent at Norfolk.  
Later on he was appointed by Messrs. Wm. Lamb & Co., agents for Castner and 
Curran, of Philadelphia, as chief clerk of their business, with headquarters at 
Lambert's Point.  For seven years he managed the affairs of the company there 
with decided ability.  Col. Lamb speaks in high commendation of him and says 
that during an experience of forty-one years in employing men he has never found 
one more conscientious, industrious and faithful than the deceased.  The flags 
on the shipping in the harbor were at half-mast in respect to his memory.  The 
funeral will take place from Trinity M.E. Church at 11 o'clock this morning.
