Notes:

Howard was a grandson of Thaddeus Munroe, but may not have been a son of George.

Howard owned the Maple Grove Farm which had the house that his grandfather built and stretched from Woburn Street to Maple Street in Lexington and included land on which the Scotland district school stood. His grandfather's house was for sale in 1995 for $450,000.

In 1894, the Maple Grove Farm included 71 acres of mowing and tillage land, 38 acres of woodland, and five acres of unimproved land. His stock included 23 Holstein, Ayrshire and Guernsey cows, 50 thoroughbred chickens, and three horses. He often bought and sold fancy trotters.

In addition to his farm, he also ran a market garden business and he grew assorted garden flowers which he sold out of Carlson's Florist Shop on East Street.

Howard was a respected and involved citizen of Lexington. He was a member of the Hancock Church, Master of the Lexington Grange, member of the Lexington Historical Society, the Old Belfry Club, the Men's Club of the Hancock Church, and the Boston Gardeners' Association. He was also one of the three original trustees of the Winning Home for Orphans and Destitute Children.

In 1915, he purchased an old rifle range located off Webb Street and established the Minituman Rifle Club, which included a club house and 200-foot range. In 1938, he and H. I. Currier established Countryside Inc., which included the Countryside restaurant at the corner of Lowell and Woburn streets. It was advertised as a modern roadside restaurant which catered parties and specialized in Ipswich fried clams.
