Having been born in 1888, he was just four and one-half years old and was in the company with his mother, Lizzie, and two sisters - Annie and Millie. They were met by his father, John H. Howard, who had come west in the previous summer. They stayed in the Lone Pine Stopping House until their own living quarters were ready. The hardships of the pioneers were fully experienced as the little community grew. As a boy, Charlie grew up helping his father in various enterprises and during the winter months attending the first school in Bowden. When summer came, boys were expected to help outside and for several summers it was Charlie's task to herd horses and cattle from Bowden to the foothills of Cowley and Pincher Creek for winter grazing, returning in the spring. When Charlie was old enough he filed on a homestead in the Rich Hill District, west of Bowden, and during this time he met Pearl Jame Adair, who had come from Tilbury, Ontario, with her parents, Samuel and Grace Adair. Charlie and Pearl were married in March 1912, and moved to the farm two miles north of Bowden where, except for two years when they moved to the Murray Valley District, they lived, until their retirement to Bowden in 1950. Four children were born to Charlie and Pearl - Gladys, Almer, Reg and Wilda. The life on the farm was spent in hard work and sharing good and bad times with neighbours. It was not easy to raise four teenagers during the depression but there was always plenty of activity. The young people from town knew that there was always home-baked bread and cold milk for their enjoyment. The hoboes and freight riders soon learned that no one was turned away hungry from the Charlie Howard farm, and a constant stream of these fellows were given food. Some returned after the war years to express their thanks. Charlie and Pearl's retirement to Bowden was spend in enjoying their friends, their garden and their Oddfellow and Rebekah Lodges. In January 1962, Pearl passed away, followed six months later by Charlie - pioneers of Bowden District. (From Pioneer Legacy; Bowden and District)
