  Notes	Notes from Roger Howland Maria was a plain woman in appearance, though not in character. She was known for her quiet efficiency and skill and for never losing her head in an emergency. She was often summoned from quite a distance to attend women in child-birth; and Charles Howland recalled anxious men waking them in the middle of the night and taking his mother with them to attend their wives. His father would drive over the next day or the day after to bring her home. Maria never lost any of these babies at birth, or did their mothers fail to come through the ordeal. Charles was Justice of the Peace in South Danby and people came to him to settle their complaints and grievances against their neighbors, arguments over property lines, etc. Aunt Mary told Emily Hinton Howland that she and Arthur Charles Howland, as young children, would be sent out of the room at these times. However, they would go up stairs and peek through a hole in the bedroom floor down into the room below. They must have learned a lot about life and human nature. Charles had a farm in South Danby, Tompkins county, New York. He and his wife are buried in the cemetery near by. Charles was a man of slight build and he had probably strained himself with the hard work on the farm at the time he died in 1900.
