  • Notes 
    • Rachel the younger daughter of Luke and Mariabella Howard was of a more delicate constitution than her sister, and she did not possess so much vivacity, but she had very good abilities. She was of a reflective turn of mind, very sensitive and religiously disposed. She early exerted herself in the cause of education first at Tottenham and afterwards at Ackworth. In the latter place she established a school which engaged much of her attention, as long as health permitted, and it is believed that her efforts in conjunction with those of her sister for the moral and religious training of youth, have been much blessed to many who were instructed in the school.her health had been gradually declining, became seriously impaired in the early part of 1837. Her parents in consequence engaged a temporary home at Tottenham to which place she was removed where she had every advantage that medical skill and most assiduous nursing and tender care could supply. Her complaint was consumption which terminated in her death in the 9th month 1837. During her illness Rachel Howard evinced much interest for her young nephews and nieces presenting to each a Treasury Bible as a parting gift. Many of her remarks were instructive and encouraging giving evidence of submission to the Divine Will.
      Her remains were interred at Winchmore Hill near the spot where her beloved sister was laid. These two so united in life were parted by death only one year and eight months, both dying at the age of 33.
