Mr. Henry E. Howland, having been born at Walpole, N. H., in 1835, was educated at the Kimball Union Academy in Meriden, N. H., entered Yale College and was graduated in the class of 1854. He then took a course in the Harvard College Law School and in 1857 received the degree of LL. B. He was admitted to practice in 1857 and made New York his home; and has since then practiced here, except for a period in 1873, when Governor John A. Dix appointed him to the bench of the Marine Court to fill an unexpired term.

He served in the Twenty-Second Regiment of the National Guard of the State for seven years,and he was a Captain in that command while it was mustered in the United States service in 1862 and 1863. Judge Howland has been active in the Republican party and was an alderman of the city in 1875 and 1876. In 1880, he was appointed by Mayor Cooper, president of the Municipal Department of Taxes. In 1884, he was his party's candidate for Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and received a similar nomination in 1887 for the bench of the Supreme Court. Judge Howland has been for some years a member of the Corporation of Yale University. He is president of the Society for the Relief of the Destitute Blind, and also president of the Board of the Manhattan State Hospital of this city.

In 1865, he married Louise Miller, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah R. Miller, and granddaughter of Edmund Blunt, the famous mathematician and author of Blunt's Coast Pilot. Six children were born to them, Mary M., Charles P., Katharine E., John, Julia Bryant and Frances L., of whom three survive; none, however, are married.

As a speaker, either in court, at political meetings, or on social occasions, Judge Howland has a widespread reputation. He is governor-general of the National Society of Mayflower Descendants and governor of the New York Society, president of the Jekyl Island Club, secretary of the Century Association, president of the Meadow Club of Southampton, and one of the council of the University Club. His other club affiliations include membership in the Metropolitan, Union League, Players, Republican and Shinnecock Hills Golf clubs, as well as the Bar Association. His city residence is 14 West Ninth Street, and his country home is at Southampton, Long Island.
