Howard, Frederick, Buffalo, was born at East Aurora, N. Y., September 12, 1855, and is the youngest of a family
of five children (three of whom are living, the other two being Mrs. Stella E. Goddard and Albert Howard) of Marcus
A. and Maria (Whitney) Howard, who came to Erie county from Wardsboro, Vt., about 1848. The father, a carpenter
and builder by trade, died in July, 1871, aged sixty-two; the mother still survives at the age of over eighty.
Mr. Howard, when three years old, moved with his parents to Elma, Erie county, where he received his elementary
education in the district schools. He also took a course at Aurora Academy, taught school one winter, and in 1874
came to Buffalo, where, in January, 1875, he became a student at law in the office of Milo A. Whitney. He was admitted
to the bar before the Supreme Court in April. 1878, and remained in Mr. Whitney's office until 1883, becoming his
partner in 1880 under the firm name of Whitney & Howard. Mr. Howard practiced alone from 1883 to January, 1888,
when he formed a copartnership with Hon. Myron H. Clark, which, as Howard & Clark, still continues. He has
been very successful in the general practice of his profession, and is recognized as an able and painstaking lawyer.
In politics he is a staunch and loyal Republican, and a member of the Good Government Club. He is a trustee and
secretary of the Children's Aid Society (properly known as the Newsboys' and Bootblacks' Home), and for several
years was secretary of the Buffalo Orphan Asylum. He has been connected with the First Congregational church of
Buffalo since its organization, being one of its orginal members. October 25, 1881, he married Harriet E., daughter
of the late Moses T. Mabie, a well known shoe dealer, of Buffalo. She died December 29, 1896, leaving two daughters,
Marion and Ruth.
