"Howard Sebree was a pilot, captain and owner of boats on the Ohio River from 1859 to 1876. He took an active part in political matters and represented Boone County in the legislature in 1856, also holding office of sheriff, magistrate and several minor offices. At the age of twenty he went to the Hartford City, a towboat running between Pittsburgh and New Orleans, of which he soon became pilot, then captain and the principal owner. He held different positions during his 17 years on the river on various boats and had three destroyed during the Civil War: The Queen of Memphis, The Hartford and The Star. Purchasing a fruit farm in Crittenden Co, he lived at Mound City for a short time, when he moved his farm on which he has since made his home. Here he had 350 acres of good land under cultivation, though only 75 were improved when he bought the place; he owns other lands that are unimproved. In Kentucky, he took active part in political matters, and represented Boone Co, in the legislature, in 1856, also holding the office of sheriff, magistrate and several minor offices. He was a Whig till the war, and then a Democrat, but now gives his whole attention to his farms. Howard and Elizabeth were said to have had eight children."
