• Anecdote. ⁹³⁶⁴ 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.
