Biographical history
Francis Lamb Howland was born on December 13, 1842, in Whitby, Durham, Ontario.
He was a physician and civil servant. He graduated from McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine with honours in 1867. He practised for a short time in Woodstock, Ontario, and in 1875, he moved to a small community in Huntsville to become the village’s first doctor. Shortly after his arrival, he founded a newspaper named The Liberal. As its editor, he exercised considerable influence in local politics and was successful in petitioning for the extension of the Muskoka Road north of Huntsville. His most important effort for the future growth and development of Huntsville was in persuading the Grand Trunk Railway to route the railway through Huntsville. He served as reeve in 1889, 1890, 1893, 1895, and 1896 and as mayor of Huntsville in 1904.
In 1870, he married Jennie Huggart (1851-1916). He died on November 8, 1916, in Huntsville, Muskoka, Ontario.
