His father passed away when Howard was 5 years old, leaving behind himself, his older brother Thomas, two half-sisters Elizabeth and Katie and his mother. Shortly after his father died his mother reverted back to her maiden name. By 1901 Howard, Thomas and their mother were living at 8 Henry Street in Strathroy and by 1911 to support the family Elizabeth took in a number of lodgers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Howard, also known as Whitey, attested in the 135th on November 23rd, 1915 and listed himself as the sole supporter of his mother.
