obit-John C. Howe- Brattleboro, Windham Co., VT Date: 98-04-27 14:03:27 EDT From: tess@sover.net (Terry Perham) from the Brattleboro Reformer Brattleboro, Windham County, VT 1925 RANKED HIGH AS PHOTOGRAPHER John C. Howe Dies of Hardening of Arteries This Morning WAS IN BUSINESS HERE 55 YEARS Retired Jan. 1, 1922, After Selling Studio Conducted by Father, Cleb L. Howe--One of New England's Best Exponents of Photographic Art John C. Howe, 75, formerly for 55 years engaged in the photographic business in Brattleboro, died at 7:30 o'clock this morning in the house at 7 Linden street which had been his home the past 30 years. Although he was confined to his bed only about two weeks he had been in failing health two years. Death resulted from hardening of the arteries. Mr. Howe was the oldest of five children of Caleb Lysander Howe and Martha B. (Simonds) Howe and was born in Dover, May 16, 1849. His father was a native of Dummerston and his mother was a daughter of Deacon David Simonds of Peru. As a boy he spent many hours drawing plans of buildings and had an ambition to become an architect, but after his graduation from Brattleboro high school he began work in the photographic studio owned by his father, which was established here in 1856, remaining there until he retired Jan. 1, 1923. He leaves his wife, who was Miss Florence Fisher of Newfane and whom he married Sept. 17, 1873, also a daughter, Mrs. Park R. Hoyt of Laconia, N.H. and a grandson, Park R. Hoyt, jr. He also leaves two sisters and a brother. They are Mrs. Alice Holloway of Knightstown, Ind.; Lucien Howe, a well-known musician, of Boston; and Mrs. Mary Howe Burton of Worcester, Mass., formerly a widely-known opera singer. A brother, Fred L. Howe, successful proprietor of the Princess hotel in Bermuda and the Apsinwall hotel in Lenox, Mass., died Aug. 9, 1921. ] The funeral will be held at the home at 4 o'clock Wednesday, Rev. Dr. Herbert P. Woodin, pastor of the Centre Congregational church, officiating. The body will be entombed until spring. Mr. Howe was a member of Brattleboro lodge of Masons, Fort Dummer chapter of Royal Arch Masons, and Beauseant commandery, Knighrs Templar. When Quonekticut tribe of Red Men was organized in 1888 his name was on the charter list, but in recent years he had not been affiliated with the tribe. The Howe business was begun in 1856 on the third floor of the building now owned by L.R. H. Wagner, shoe dealer, by Mr. Howe's father, the late Caleb L. Howe, who came here from North Adams, Mass., and bought the J.L. Lovell studio. Mr. Howe bought a traveling studio while he lived in Dover and went to Wilmington, but feeling that the field was too small he went to North Adams. At that time the business was confined to daguerreotypes, the forerunners of the ambrotype and ferrotype, which preceded the photograph of today. His son, the late N. Sherman Howe, was associated with him in business until 1870, when the latter went to Chicago and was engaged in a similar business for a short time, afterward managing the Princess hotel in Bermuda until his death in 1907. Caleb Howe followed the profession of photographer until his death in 1895. In 1880 his son John C. Howe became associated with him and the business was moved from the studio in Union block, where it had been since 1865, to the quarters it now occupies in the People' Bank building, the firm becoming C. L. Howe & Son. He had practically decided to enter the Massachuetts Institute of Technology when he was taken into the firm. John C. Howe was one of the very few photographers in New England who have made pictures by every process know to the profession. When he was a boy in his father's studio all the paper used for printing was imported and when received by the photographer it had to be treated to remove the sizing. Today the paper comes ready for use. The old time photographer bought his glass in sheets for use in framing daguerreotypes and cut it to fit the different frames selected by his patrons. up to a few years ago most of the professional photographic printing was done by long exposure to the sunlight. Today the printing is done largely by exposure to strong artificial light. Mr. Howe sold the business to Calrton E. Shorey Jan. 1, 1923. His retirement meant the loss to New England of one of its best exponents of the photographic art. From 1860 to 1864 sittings at the studio averaged about 20 a day and during the 29 years preceding 1910 from 2,000 to 4,000 sittings were made there annually. Among the negatives in the studio were those of the late Larkin G. Mead, the fanous scupltor; the late William M. Hunt, the well-known artist; and the late W. H.H. Murray better known as "Adirondack Murray." many of the photgraphers in New England were pupils of C. L. Howe. Those house which has been the Howe home the past 30 years was occupied in the early 50's by Wentworth Higginson, the distinguished abolitionist, soldier and author. ************************************************************************ (c)1998, Terry Perham Courtesy of Terry Perham Hinsdale, NH tess@sover.net ************************************************* * * * * NOTICE: Printing the files within by non-commercial individuals and libraries is encouraged, as long as all notices and submitter information is included.
