Misc. Notes
1. Shortly after he graduated in 1831, he was appointed Resident Physician and Surgeon at the Philadelphia Hospital, popularly known as the Alms House. This post he held during the outbreak of the Asiatic cholera in 1832. For his services during the epidemic, Dr. Howell received from the Board of Visiting Physicians and Surgeons a testimonial, engrossed on parchment, which set forth “his conspicuous ability, fidelity, and courage” in the management of the Alms House during this trying period. Because of impaired health, Dr. Howell removed, in 1842, to the ancestral home, “Candor Hall”, New Jersey. In 1855 he removed to the place of his birth, “Fancy Hill”, and finally, in 1859, he settled at Woodbury, a mile or two distant. [48]
