J C Howard was a member of the Volunteer Militia. As private in 1872 (Jn 12 - 28), he received a payment of $2/day. In the 41st Brockville Rifles in 1897 he was paid 50 cents per day. He was a member of the 12th Regiment of The York Rangers as of 12 Sep 1904. No mention of rank or pay.

They farmed 150 acres, the east half of lot 25 and lot 26, 1st. Concession, Amherst Island. James Howard was a very successful farmer and in the winter, was one of the island’s main ice shippers. (Block ice for refrigeration was an important industry then.)

Much of the information here was taken from a manuscript written by my Great Aunt, Maude Evaleen(Howard) Saunders, born Sep. 3, 1866, older sister of my Grandmother, Gertrude May (Howard)Dunkley, born Oct. 28, 1877. The manuscript was written c. 1934. It appeared serialized in the “Cataraqui Loyalist Town Crier” vol. 28, nos 2-5, March to November 2009. It was made public through the efforts of her Great Grandson, Member Henry Roenke of Geneva, New York.
