Sir Archibald Howie JP (12 May 1879 – 26 October 1943) was a Scottish-born Australian politician.
Early life
He was born in Glasgow to mason Archibald Howie and Janet Ferguson. His family migrated to New South Wales in 1881, and Howie became a building contractor, eventually taking over his father's business. In 1912 he married Emily Clara Manuelle, with whom he had a son.[1][2][3] In 1927 he was elected for a single term as President of the Master Builders Association of New South Wales.[4][5]
Political career
From 1934 to 1941 he was a member of Sydney City Council, and from 1934 to 1943 he was a United Australia Party member of the New South Wales Legislative Council. He was knighted in the 1938 New Year Honours.[6] In 1939 he was appointed a Fellow of the Senate of the University of Sydney, serving until his death.[7][8] He was president of the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales from 1941 until his death.[9][10]
Howie died at his Hunters Hill residence, "Clifton" in Woolwich Road, which had been his home since 1919, on 26 October 1943.[11] His funeral was held at St Stephen's Presbyterian Church on Macquarie Street and he was buried in South Head Cemetery.[12][13]
