He was active in various local organizations and was for many years with his brother Elias greatly interested in the Howe Family Genealogy, which was one of the results of the Howe Family Gathering at Framingham, in 1871. He came into possession of a large collection of Howe family data that was left by Rev. J. H. Temple of Framingham, who had been employed in the gathering of the material, for some time, and it was this material that constituted the beginning and the foundation of this volume.
