Ellen Clementine Howarth

Ellen Clementine Howarth (born Ellen Clementine Doran in Cooperstown, New York, May 17, 1827 – 1899), was an American poet.

The daughter of a calico-printer, and employed in factory-work at the age of seven, she married Joseph Howarth, in the same occupation. She lived at Trenton, New Jersey, in extremely reduced circumstances until friends secured her a comfortable subsistence. She authored a volume of poems in 1867, edited by Richard Watson Gilder, and also a song "'Tis but a Little Faded Flower".
