(Excerpt)
" The S. Howes Company is the only one of the original industries remaining today.
Upon the death of Mr. Howes in 1892, the business was sold to Louis Everett Barbeau, manager of the S. Howes branch plant of Hull, England.
In this family it remained for three generations. The business was again sold in 1967, but the S. Howes name has been retained, and its volume business has steadily increased. In 1856 one machine, the original Alpheus Babcock invention, was being made, but now over one hundred fifty different models are being manufactured. For one hundred seventeen years the S. Howes shop has dominated the industrial scene of Silver Creek.
The seventies and eighties, the years of growing industry, were the horse and carriage days where watering troughs, hitching posts, carriage steps and blacksmith shops were an ever present part of the village scene. These years marked the coming of the earliest German settlers who chose for locating to overlook the lake. By 1884 their numbers made it possible for the building of the Trinity Lutheran Church which observes its nintieth anniversary next year.
From 1856 through the sixties, seventies, and eighties prosperity expressed itself in many ways, the Victorian brick house becoming the status symbol of that day. The first Victorian house, built in 1874, was the home of Alpheus Babcock, where Frances Chapman Watson, a great niece, was born and which later became the well known Livermore home (151 Central).
The second was built by Norman Hitchcock on Main Street where the Babcock Avenue School now is. This became the Barbeau home for three generations when Mr. Barbeau purchased the property as well as the S. Howes business.
The third home, known as the Malcomb Barbeau home (the oldest son) was built by Simeon Howes in 1878 and is pictured in atlases of earlier days. The yellow brick house at the top of Central Avenue facing the Denny house was built by Mr. Holcomb, one of the original owners of the Monitor works.
With this period of greater mobility came the expansion of beach life, the opening of the East Lake Development and the birth of clubs. The Motor Boat Club is one never to be forgotten with its new commodious club house in 1915 fronting the lake.
With Alexis Barbeau as the first Commodore, its community Fourth of July fireworks, its family holiday parties, its weekly afternoon bridge parties and its dances, many of them costume, as on Halloween, make a procession of memories precious to many a person today. Its grounds were the scene of the pageant on the one hundredth anniversary of the village’s incorporation in 1948. With an increased mobility, the Tn-County Country Club came into the life of the town in 1924. " [10][11]
