HOWE, DANIEL WAIT: 1839-1921.
A descendant of John Howe, first settler of Marlborough, Mass., Daniel Wait Howe was born on Oct. 24, 1839, in Patriot, Ind. He was the son of Daniel H. and Lucy Hicks Howe. He was educated at Franklin College, where he received the A.B. degree in 1857.
During the Civil War he was a private in the 7th Indiana Volunteers and a captain in the 79th Volunteers. He took part in the battles of Carrick's Ford, Stone River, Chickamauga, and Missionary Ridge, and because of wounds received in the battle of Kenesaw Mountain he was discharged from the army in 1864. Following his discharge he entered Albany Law School, received his degree in 1867, and in that year began the practice of law in Franklin, Ind., where he acted as city attorney. In 1871 he married Inez Hamilton of Decatur County, Ind.
He moved to Indianapolis in 1873, where he was a judge of the Superior Court from 1876 to 1890, then engaged in the practice of law until his retirement. He was once president of the Indiana Historical Society and, in addition to his books, wrote articles for legal periodicals. He died on Oct. 28, 1921.
