Notes

Note: The following note was written by Richard Johnston. It is copied here with Richard's permission, from his longer set of notes, which are copied in full under the name of Thomas Howitt who was married to Mary Ann Dunn
"Richard Lancelot Howitt was only 16 when his parents died. He went to live with his older sister, Ethel and her husband in Windsor. He traveled for a time throughout the American west. He married Edith Haffner of New Jersey in 1913, but she died before 1915. In 1915, at the outbreak of WWI he joined the Fourth Canadian Mounted Rifles. He was sent overseas, where he fought and was taken prisoner at Sanctuary Woods outside of Ypes, Belgium. He eventually escaped from the prisoner of war camp, getting to Holland, which was neutral in WWI and was sent back to Canada. He went into business with Wilbur Johnston, and after the partnership ended continued as the Howitt Battery and Electrical Service until a series of heart attacks forced him to turn it over to his nephew, Howitt Penfold. Richard married Sadie and they had two children; Richard and William Tantum."
