Life

Frank Edmund Howe, called "Ginger" was born in Heath, Massachusetts on October 2, 1870, to Edmund Perry and Laura A. Howe. His great-great-grandfather was Gardner Howe , an early Vermont settler and soldier in the American Revolution and a direct descendant of John Howe (1602-1680) from Brinklow in Warwickshire , England , who settled in the Massachusetts Bay Colony as early as 1630 . He was also a descendant of Edmund Rice, another early settler in Massachusetts.

He grew up in Brattleboro and trained as a printer . On October 2, 1895, he married Flora May Cummings. He worked as a newspaper reporter in Vermont, New York and Florida before buying two Bennington weekly papers, which he merged in 1902 to form the daily Bennington Banner . He was the editor and reporter of this newspaper .

As a member of the Vermont Republican Party, he was a member of the Vermont House of Representatives from 1908 to 1912 . He was Speaker of the House of Representatives from 1910 to 1912. For the Republican Party, he was a member of the Electoral College ( Electoral College ) in the 1908 presidential election .

Howe was elected lieutenant governor in 1912. He held this office until 1915. The end of Howe's tenure was postponed from October 1914 to January 1915 so that his successor could start his term in January. This expansion was in line with a law changing the start date of Vermont legislatures and the start of the terms of all statewide officials in January. He lost the gubernatorial elections in 1914 and 1918, after which he resumed his work in the administration of his newspaper.

Howe died in Bennington on July 20, 1956. His grave is in Park Lawn Cemetery, Bennington.
