   [59-60]

        GEORGE RUMSEY HOWARD, the second son of GEORGE HOWARD, was born in
     Buffalo May 27th, 1861. After completing his education at the Buffalo
     Classical School, he gained his first business experience as a clerk
     in the tannery firm of BUSH & HOWARD, later becoming a partner in that
     enterprise and continuing in this connection for four years after his
     father's death. In 1890 Mr. HOWARD disposed of his share in the con-
     cern and since then has been engaged in the field of finance and in
     the management of various large vested interests, having his office in
     the Erie County Bank Building.  Mr. HOWARD is a trustee of the Erie
     County Savings Bank and a director of the Cary Safe Company. He is. a
     capitalist of solid and extensive resources. Distinctively a strong
     man of affairs, Mr. HOWARD has the advantage of wide experience and
     the prestige which attaches to a business career unmarred by errors of
     judgment and signalized by the prosperous outcome of a great variety
     of undertakings. The social and other connections of Mr. HOWARD are
     many and important. He is a member of the Country, ELLICOTT and Park
     Clubs, and has served for many years as a director of the Y. M. C. A.,
     and a trustee of the Westminster Presbyterian Church and the Buffalo
     General Hospital. He is also a director of the Provident Loan Associ-
     ation, trustee of the Christian Homestead, and trustee of Forest Lawn.
        October 3, 1882, Mr. HOWARD married Miss GRIFFIN, a daughter of the
     late JOHN B. GRIFFIN. They have three daughters.
        Mr. HOWARD is an accomplished man of the world, practical,
     thoroughly in accord with the spirit of the times, and having a keen
     appreciation of the refinements and amenities of life. He resides in a
     palatial home on Delaware avenue, and in the domestic circle finds
     needed relief from the urgencies of business duties. As financier and
     citizen his standing leaves nothing to be wished, and he may be
     appropriately characterized as one of those deserving men who, in the
     prime of their days, have attained tlie consummated results which are,
     as a rule, only to be looked for with advanced years.
