"Sally [daughter of Pamelia, daughter of John, son of Jonathan, son of Samuel II, son of Samuel I, son of Richard Mower] m. by Dr. Albion Pierce, Esq., Lewis Howe of Greene, 16 Oct. 1832, who d. 16 March 1859, aged 57. She was an expert dairywoman, her butter and cheese having a wide reputation.

"One son, John Lewis, b. 13 Aug. 1833, d. 28 Nov. 1894 aged 57. Educated in the common schools and at Edward Little Institute. Taught school several terms, and served his town as selectman in 1872. Was a man of very original methods in his business, possessing a natural inventive turn of mind which he used to good advantage. His farm was one of the largest and best in town, situated on the northerly slope of Clark’s Mountain, so-called, commanding an extensive view, and to which he gave the name of “Alpine Farm.” As a result of his mechanical powers, his inventions of marked importance are, a ditcher with elevator to carry the dirt to either side, and gauged to any depth required; a hay-lifter, pat. 22 July 1884, simple and rapid in execution, removing half the load at a time, and very popular with extensive sales annually; a churn, butter-worker and salter combined, considered of unusual merit, and is in quite general use; and a butter-printer that moulds and prints 20 balls at one stamping. Did an extensive dairy business and kept his farm under high cultivation. As evidence of Mr. Howe’s determination, ability and will, when the authorities refused to build a road laid out in his vicinity, he did the work himself, constructing a first-class road three-fourths of a mile in length, through thick woods, along the side of a hill filled with boulders, at a cost of $1,200. m. in 1872, Mercy Sparrow of Mass. No children."
