4th of March, 1838.  He left the place of his nativity, coming to this State via 
the overland route, and first settled in Placervile, El Dorado county, where he 
engaged in mining.  He remained in this State for a period of five years, then 
returned East, coming again to California after two years.  He at once proceeded 
to the mines, where he remained two years; then he became proprietor of a 
packing train over the mountains to Carson valley, thence to Frazier river and 
Cariboo.  In 1862 he engaged in mining in Cariboo, remaining two summers, then 
returned to California and Marin county, where he has since resided.  On May 17, 
1877, he established his business in Marshalls, where he is now one of the 
leading merchants.  Mr. Howard married Mrs. Henderson.
