History
William J. Howard was born on 8 February 1860 to John and Elizabeth (Balderson) Howard. The Howards farmed 250 acres at North River, Prince Edward Island, across the York, or North, River from Charlottetown. This property presumably passed to William when his father died sometime between 1881 and 1891. On 31 December 1885 William married Mary Emma Ross of West River. They had four children, Gladys, Davis, Kaye, and Grace[?]
In 1911 the family moved to Coos Bay, Oregon, where William and his brother purchased the Hope ranch on North Inlet. W.J. Howard died at Hauser, Oregon on 20 February 1938, aged 78.
