Death
Howland died in Menton, France, on March 31, 1886, and was buried there. He and his wife had no children and after his death Eliza Howland never returned to Tioronda, saying that the memories of her husband made staying there too difficult. She died in Newport, Rhode Island, in 1908, at the age of eighty-two. After her death Tioronda became Craig House, a hospital for the mentally ill.
The author Louis Stanton Auchincloss is his great-grandnephew.
