Notes
General:
Captain Levi Howes, the eldest of the four brothers of Captain William F. Howes, above mentioned, was born February 20,1812, and died May 11, 1874. He was the oldest of the five sons, all of whom retired safety after a seafaring life. At the age of twelve he went to sea, first serving as cook on a packet between East Dennis and Boston, and within ten years he was himself a master mariner. His career at sea was somewhat eventful. At the age of twenty-eight he commanded the ship Harold, of Boston, on a voyage from Calcutta, when the vessel was burned, barely allowing the escape of the crew to the boats. After several successful years in foreign merchantmen, he was interested with Christopher Hall and Prince S. Crowell in ships built at East Dennis, where, in 1845, he erected the residence now the summer home of his widow. The financial crisis of 1857 having effectually impeded this business, he again went to sea for a few years, retiring in 1865, having several times circumnavigated the globe.
Captain Howes was a well-known shipmaster, standing high in his profession as a practical mariner, while as a business man he was highly respected in commercial circles. His first wife, Myra, daughter of Isaiah and Thankful Howes, died in 1850, leaving a son\emdash Levi A. Howes, now of Woods Holl. The captain was again married, December 28, 1852, to Eliza J. Davis, of Chatham, daughter of Samuel Davis, whose father was also Samuel. Her mother was Jane King, daughter of Roger King, of Brewster. The three children by the second marriage are: Austin P., who married Mollie Cook, and is a lumber and grain dealer at Blair, Neb.; Myra E., who married Nathan C. Sears, and resides at Wisner, Neb., and Helen L., who married Zebina K. Doane, and resides at Blair, Neb.
Captain Howes in his lifetime was deeply interested in the advancement of the schools of his town, to which he gave several years of his personal attention. He was characterized by his strong will, industry and conservative business habits, which assured his success in all undertakings on land and sea. His ability made him conspicuous for the official positions within the gift of his townsmen, but he declined all such honors, save the few years he was superintendent of their schools. The social relations of life and the scattering of blessings in the paths of others pleased him best".
