Alfred Augustus Howe (December 29, 1817 – October 6, 1892) was an American carpenter and politician in North Carolina.
[2][1] Both him and his brother Anthony worked as carpenters before the American Civil War began, and lived next door to one another.
In 1877, he built the William B. McKoy House, a Queen Anne and Stick style building, designed using a previously published plan that was adapted by architect James F.
His obituary in the Wilmington Messenger noted he left his house only once after being injured, to attend a hearing for the case against Kelly.
A court solicitor called for a post mortem examination of Howe's body; the doctors concluded the immediate cause of death as tuberculosis effecting both lungs.
[4] A funeral for Howe was held at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, and he was buried at Pine Forest Cemetery in Wilmington, North Carolina.
