Edgar Howbert, clerk of the district court of the fourth judicial district of Colorado, comprising El Paso county, and one of the honored pioneer settlers of Colorado Springs, where he took up his abode in 1861, was born in Clarinda, Iowa, in 1856, his parents being William and Martha (Marshall) Howbert. His father was born in Roanoke, Virginia, in 1820 and was married in Indiana. His death occurred in August, 1871, while his wife passed away in 1863, he having survived her for eight years. They had removed with their family to the west, settling in Colorado City, now a part of Colorado Springs, in 1861. Their family included two sons, one of whom is Irving Howbert.
Edgar Howbert was a lad of but five years when the family home was established in Colorado Springs, where he has since resided, covering a period of fifty-seven years. He has therefore been a witness of the entire growth and progress of this section of the state. In January, he was appointed clerk of the district court of the fourth judicial district, comprising El Paso county, and served continuously for twelve years, or until 1901. He then retired, but in January, 1907, was again called to the position, which he now holds. In 1887 he was chief engrossing clerk of the state senate. Much of his life has thus been devoted to public service and the record which he has made has been a most creditable one. His political allegiance has always been given to the republican party.
On the 22d of July, 1884, in Denver, Mr. Howbert was married to Miss Helen M. Hollister, who passed away July 14, 1885, leaving a son, Earl Hollister. On the 9th of February, 1897, in Chicago, Mr. Howbert was married to Jessie I. Cowgill and they have a daughter, Martha Agnes, and a son, Edgar Cowgill Howbert.
Fraternally, Mr. Howbert is connected with the Masons and with the Elks. He has a very wide acquaintance in Colorado Springs and this section of the state and numbers his friends by the hundreds.
