THOMAS D. HOWE
Thomas D. HOWE, a prosperous farmer residing on section 10, Lake Fork township, Logan county, of which he is a supervisor, was born in Ross county, Ohio, February 17, 1854, and is the son of Abner and Jane (GASAWAY) Howe. When he was less than two years old his parents brought him to Illinois and located in Logan county, where his boyhood days were spent. He received a fair common school education. When he was only eleven years of age his father died and he began to work for himself by the month.
In October 1877, he married to Miss Missouri C. JENNINGS, of Cumberland county, Illinois. He rents and operates a good farm of one hundred and eighty acres in Lake Fork Township, this county, which he as brought into an excellent state of cultivation. The following family has been born to himself and wife, namely: Emma Jane, Abner, Ira, Bessie, Dora, Anna, Edith, Odes [Otis], Flossie, Thomas, and Kenneth.
Mr. Howe was reared a Democrat, but although he has been a delegate to various conventions he has taken but little interest in politics. He served as collector for the township for twelve years and also as clerk for two years. In 1891 he was elected supervisor and is now serving on the judiciary committee and chairman of the committee on paupers of the east half to this county. Socially he is a member of the Knights of Pythias Lodge at Latham, No 358, and has filled all the chairs. His pleasant, genial manner wins for him many friends and he is a man of influence in the community, which he is so ably serving as a public official.
