We do not have an image of Jerusha in our collection, although our records suggest that one was donated in the early 20th century. Below are some copies of engravings and silhouettes of some of Jerusha's immediate family members, a watercolor image of her monument, and an early etching of the Inn.
Above: Etching by Albert Fitch Bellows, c. 1880s. The Herbert F. Howe Family Collection, The Wayside Inn.
Above: Copy of a watercolor painting of Jerusha's monument at Wadsworth Cemetery. Painting is signed "A. Cary inv. et del."
Above: Lyman Howe's (1801-1861) portrait. Known as the "Squire," he is Jerusha's younger brother and the last of the How(e) family proprietors and innkeepers of How(e)'s Tavern.
Stories about Lyman inspired the character of the Landlord in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863).
Above: Image of what is believed to be a portrait of Jerusha Balcom Howe (1767-1842), Jerusha Howe's mother.
Above: Image of what is believed to be a portrait of Adam Howe, Sr. (1763-1840), Jerusha Howe's father and son of American Revolutionary War patriot Col. Ezekiel How (1720-1796). He was also a proprietor and innkeeper of Howe's Tavern.
Above: Silhouette of Jerusha Balcom Howe (1767-1842), Jerusha's mother. This image is often misidentified online as a silhouette of Jerusha Howe (1797-1842).
