The ancestry of Eva Howes traces back to Moody Howes, who early came to Southeast, in Putnam Co., NY, from Barnstable Co., MA, and through him to five persons who came on the Mayflower. Also a Gov. of MA.
Both Squire and Eva Howes Niles taught school for a few years after their marriage. It is said that Squire was quite a strong man, good at wrestling, etc., and could handle some of the fully grown young men who then attended country schools. He once taught in the Crary district on Sands Creek, near Hancock, called a tough district.
Squire Niles lived on the farm on Bullock Hill, for a couple years after his father's death. Afterwards, took a course at the Eastman School of Business, at Poughkeepsie. Then operated a hotel in Walton for a short time. Eva died in Walton when their son Frank was 13 years of age. Squire died four years later.
