William Eaton Howard was born in Bozarahvile, Conn. May 13, 1833. His father was James Howard of Foster, Rhode Island.  His mother was James’ second wife, Mary Ann Tracey.  William had two older half-brothers, Joseph Howard and George Washington Howard.  William ended up in Milan and his older brother Joseph ended up in Saline.  William E. Howard was a figure in the Sugar Scandal, defrauding investors in a fake sugar refining machine.  He served some time in Sing-Sing prison.  He died in Milan April 13, 1917.  On his death certificate, it says he was born in Rhode Island, apparently that is what his widow believed.  Source: Ron Morey, who read a genealogy of Isaac Howard.  Isaac Howard was related somehow to William E. Howard.

William E. Howard, born in 1833, told people he was born in Rhode Island. He was actually born in Conn.  He was married three times.  #1 Elizabeth Hannah Yeaw, widow of Farnum Yeaw.  She was the daughter of Johnson and Elizabeth Potter of Rockland, Rhode Island. The two were married sometime between 1848-1855. Elizabeth died Oct. 6, 1884 in Rhode Island.  William and Elizabeth had three children:  (1) Mary A.Howard, b. May 23, 1854, and d. May 21, 1855. She is buried in Rockland, RI. (2) Charles Henry Howard, b. Dec. 1, 1857 at Rockland, RI.  (3) Clarence Edward Howard, b. Jan. 10, 1867 at Warren, Rhode Island.  Elizabeth had a daughter, Ellen E.

William E. Howard entered the military August 11, 1862. He enrolled in Battery H of the First Rhode Island Light Artillery.  He was mustered out of the service June 28, 1865.  He was in several military campaigns and his battery fought in two battles, May 15 1863 at Union Mills, VA and April 2, 1865 at Petersburg, VA.

About 1870, William E. Howard went to Saline, Michigan. His wife Elizabeth Hannah Howard did not go to Michigan.  Apparently they were divorced.

Whle in Saline, Michigan, William E. Howard met Emily Van Ness, who had the maiden name Burnham. Apparently they were married.  Source: R. M.

Howard William E.

The census of 1870 taken July 9, 1870 shows him living in Providence, RI, in the district of Scituate. He is listed there as a laborer, living with his wife Elizabetha nd their two children Charles and Clarence. 
The census was taken in Calhoun County Michigan in Battle Creek, July 18, 1870, where William is listed as a life insurance agent and living with his wife Emma.  He was 36, born in Rhode Island.
How could William have two wives in the month of July, just a week apart?  It is possible that Elizabeth lied to the census taker and said her husband was living there, when he wasn’t.  Or it is possible that Emma was living with William and pretending to be his wife when she wasn’t.   R M believes it was Elizabeth who lied to the census taker.

Howard William E.

During his trial, the prosecutor forced William E. Howard to admit that he married Emily without divorcing his first wife.  He didn’t know if his first wife Elizabeth was alive or dead.  Plus, Howard admitted he didn’t know if Emily was married to someone else at the time of his marriage to her.  Howard couldn’t recall where or when he married Emily, or who performed the ceremony.  Is it possible William E. Howard never married Emily and went around publicly saying she was his wife when she wasn’t?

The 1880 census shows William E. Howard and his wife Emily “Emma” in Cook County, Illinois, Hyde Park district.  William was 46,.born in Conn., and working in a car shop, that is, fixing wooden horse buggies.  Emma was 48. They lived on Indiana Avenue.

Marriage of Wm. Howard and Emily Burnham Sept. 3, 1883. Their marriage was recorded in the Illinois marriage index.  They were married in Will County, Illinois.  They had already been sharing a home for about 13 years.

About that time, Prof. Henry Friend was in Chicago, before going to NY City by 1883.  Perhaps this is how William’s step daughter, Olive Van Ness, met Henry Friend.  Perhaps that is where Olive married Henry Friend.  Source:  R.M.

Howard William E.

In 1888, William E. Howard and his wife Emily (“Emma”) purchased a farm of 120 acres north of Milan and built a home, costing them $12,000.  The officers of the New York Electric Sugar Company apparently were not successful in claiming the property as compensation for their loss due to the sugar scam.  When William was released from prison in 1895, he left NY and returned to the farm in Milan. Emily’s father had a large section of land and it is possible Emily inherited it from her parents.  Speculation: the building put up by Emily and Howard is the same as the McGovern house today, on the corner of Platt and Arkona.  The McGovern house looks a lot like the Hack house.

In 1900, William E. Howard and his third wife Alice were living in the Village of Milan according to census records. 

Howard William E.

A tintype of William E. Howard was found in the attic at 243 and 245 North Street, a house with a back yard facing 2nd Street. See photo [#1082].  Allen Murry found it sometime in the late 1950’s or perhaps 1960.  There was nothing written on the tintype. Paul Holcomb figured out the clock in the picture was backwards, so he made a new picture that “flipped” the tintype.  Howard is shown in a horse and buggy, sideways on River Street (now Wabash Street).  Murry and his son-in-law, Gerald Weaver, took the tintype to Jim Hack.  Jim said “I know who that is, it’s my uncle William E. Howard.”   Hack told Weaver he remembered going to the Milan Baptist Church with his uncle, and Howard gave Jim a silver dollar to put in the collection plate.  Jim says he was so amazed at having a silver dollar in his hand, he kind of threw it into the collection plate so it would make a dinging noise, and people would know it was him who put it in.  Hack also remembered visiting his uncle at a house on Hack Street, and noticing that the uncle had carpeting, which was very unusual at that time.

[See also Hall, Mary Jane.]   Coincidence:  Alice had a sister, Cordelia Langworthy, who became the second wife of William’s brother-in-law, Lyman Burnham.  William died in bed on April 13, 1917, cause of death was listed as “angina pectoris.”  He was 83 years 11 months.  Marble Park cemetery.
