Howard Homan Buffett Passes Away

Today in Masonic History Howard Homan Buffett passes away in 1964.

Howard Homan Buffett was an American politician.




Buffett opposed the Marshall Plan, because he felt it would harm the American economy. He opposed the the Korean War and worked to have the Senate Armed Services Committee to declassify the testimony of CIA head Admiral Roscoe H. Hillenkoetter. The testimony, Buffett felt, showed that the United States was responsible for the Korean War.

The final thing Buffett was known for in Congress was his political philosophy. He worked to maintain a high level of ethics while in Congress. He turned down any junket that was offered to him. During his first time when Congress voted themselves a pay raise, Buffett refused to accept the new pay amount stating that he had been elected at the lower salary.



Buffett passed away on April 30th, 1964.

Buffet was the father of American business magnate, investor, and philanthropist Warren Buffett.

Howard Buffett was a member of Covert Lodge No. 11 in Omaha, Nebraska. It is reported that he was a member of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite, Southern Masonic Jurisdiction, in Omaha. He was also a member of Tangier Shrine Temple, also in Omaha.
