Timothy Edward Howard was born near Ann Arbor, Michigan, on January 27, 1837, to Marvin or Martin Howard and Julia B. Howard. His father was a farmer. He attended county schools and Ypsilanti Union School. He attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, but left in his sophomore year.

In 1898 he became the first Notre Dame alumnus to receive the Laetare Medal, awarded by Notre Dame to a Catholic "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, illustrated the ideals of the church and enriched the heritage of humanity."
