Henry Howell (1828–1896) was a Mormon pioneer and one of the founders of Fish Haven, Idaho, USA. Howell was born on March 6, 1828, in Essex, England. He married 27-year-old Frances Goble in 1855, one month before emigrating to the United States [On the ship Chimberaz, departing April 17, 1855] where he settled in Philadelphia for five years. In 1860 Howell crossed the plains to Salt Lake City. [He crossed in Captain John Smith's oxen company.] In 1864, he helped pioneer Bear Lake County, Idaho, where he first helped settle Paris and then Fish Haven, Idaho. Unlike many other Mormons at the time, Howell did not practice plural marriage. He died in Fish Haven on November 24, 1896. ["Bear Lake Pioneers".
