Anecdote |
- The Howe Family.
Three brothers came to America from England, and settled in Vermont in the end of the seventeenth century or the beginning of the eighteenth; and it was from one of these that our pioneer is descended. As a young man he heard glowing accounts of Canada as a country where youth and vigour had rich possibilities; taking their fortunes in their hands, he (Rufus Howe) and an elder brother started for Canada about the year 1815 and arrived in Prince Edward County, settling first on a hundred acre lot in Hallowell. for some reason his brother did not remain in Canada, but returned to the United States; but Rufus Howe made up his mind from the start that Prince Edward County had before it a great agricultural future. Seeing a better chance of speedy success in Hillier, he sold out to Harvey and Peter Hunt and removed from Hallowell to that township, where he bought one hundred and fifty acres. a few acres only had been cleared; for the most part the land was as nature fashioned it,! and besides being heavily timbered, it presented nearly every aspect of wilderness. He went through the routine hardship and patient toil, which the husbandman experiences under such circumstances, besides clearing and improving his own farm, he was accustomed to work for other early settlers, bearing names of Huff and Saylor. He availed himself of every opportunity of bettering his fortunes; in late autumn when the press of work on the farm was over, he betook himself to fishing on the lake, and in this way added to and income which was increasing yearly. He married Elizabeth Hunt. At the time of his death he had accumulated considerable wealth, which he willed to his sons and daughters leaving the old homestead to the youngest son, John H. all of his children survive him, except his son, Charles R. and two daughters, Jane and Sarah. Daniel lives near Concecon, and his daughter, Marion L. is a teacher of the local school.
Hon. Joseph Howe (Father of Confederation), of the Maritime Provinces, was a distant relative of the pioneer.
