Howard Hallowell was born in a log cabin on the Hallowell homestead, purchased when Reuben and John Hallowell came to Henry County, IA in 1875.
Howard was a farmer and farmed both in Iowa and in New Mexico. He owned 60 acres of land in section 35, Tippecanoe Township. His son, Herman recalls putting in the silo in about 1916 and living there after they returned from New Mexico in 1914. In 1938 Howard purchased part of the Stanford Trueblood place, 220 acres north of the road, in section 26 and a little of it in section 35. His son Carl lived on this land and farmed it until he moved to Mt. Pleasant. When Blanche Hallowell died in 1978 Carl sold his share of the Stanford Trueblood place, his share of the 60 acres of Howards and his share of the 80 acres of Ed and Ella Eilmeth Collins homestead near Salem to his brother Herman.
Howard married Blanche Collins in 1905 and in 1909, obviously motivated by the pioneering spirit inherited from ancestors and by "land-agents" representing the Santa Fe Railroad, the Moons and the Hallowells removed from Salem, Iowa to Haggerman, Charves County, New Mexico. This move was made via rail. Land agents of the Santa Fe Railroad combed the farm communites of northern Illinois and southeastern Iowa in the early 1900's promising inexpensive lands and free transportation of families and possessions as an inducement to farmers to locate in western communiteis served by the railroad, in the farm and ranch lands of Pecos Valley , stretching from Roswell south to Artesia. The Talmadge Excusion Train advertised a land with Artesian wells that flowed freely. The wells did flow freely for a few years. Herman was three and Wilma two when they moved to the Pecos Valley near Dexter in about 1909. They stayed for a year and returned to Iowa for five years and then to Dexter fall 1913 to June 1914. In 1920 after a sale in Iowa the family returned and stayed three years farming near Dexter. In 1835 they returned again to Dexter but returned to Iowa in the winter of 1938/39. They continued to farm until his death in 1965. They were married sixty years. Since he was ill they celebrated their sixtieth wedding anniversery with a party, for the family, in the hospital, in April 1965.
