BiographyCharles Howard was born August 7, 1804, in Chenango County, New York.[1] His family moved to Port Jervis, New York; when Charles Howard was an adult he moved to Sackets Harbor, New York and worked as a schooner captain.[2] He later joined the firm of Alvin Bronson and Company (later Bronson, Crocker, and Company) as a shipping and forwarding commission merchant,[2] and moved to Oswego, New York, to represent to firm.[1] In 1834 he married Margaret Vosburg. The couple had two children: Mrs. William J. Waterman and well-known dramatist Bronson Howard.[1] In 1840, Howard came to Detroit, now a partner in the shipping firm of Bronson, Crocker, and Howard, to establish an agency for the firm.[3] In 1848, he entered a partnership with N. P. Stewart, continuing his shipping and forwarding business and also as a railroad contractor, building substantial portions of the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad line,[1][8] although his firm lost $280,000 in the project.[3] In 1854, Howard dissolved his partnership with Stewart and formed another one with his brother, Sebre.[8] Howard was simultaneously president of the Farmer's and Mechanics Bank and the Peninsular Bank,[4] and in 1848 he was elected mayor of Detroit.[1] The Panic of 1857 caused the failure of the Peninsular Bank,[5] and in 1858, Charles Howard moved to New York City.[6] There, Charles and Sebre Howard opened the business "Howard Brothers, Firearms," which was in business from 1863 to 1874.[5] Charles Howard died November 6, 1883, at the house of his son-in-law.[1][3] {{s-start}}{{s-off}}{{s-bef | before=Frederick Buhl}}{{s-ttl | title=Mayor of Detroit | years = 1849}}{{s-aft | after=John Ladue}}{{end}}References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 {{citation|title = THE HISTORY OF DETROIT AND MICHIGAN |author = Silas Farmer| year = 1889 |page = 1039|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Yl06VbZ-RfwC&pg=1039#v=onepage&q&f=false}} {{DetroitMayors}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Howard, Charles}}2. ^1 {{citation| title = The American dramatist |author = Montrose Jonas Moses |publisher = Little, Brown, and company| year = 1911 | pages = 78–79| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=FilDAAAAIAAJ&pg=PA78#v=onepage&q&f=false}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news|title = The Late Ex-Mayor Howard, of Detroit|newspaper = The New York Times| date = November 9, 1883}} 4. ^{{citation|title = Detroit and its banks: the story of Detroit Bank & Trust|author = Arthur M.
