Cowherd, who owned property on the south side of Colborne Street, opposite the Kerby Hotel in Brantford and Prof. Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, were great chums. On the rear of this property was erected a three-story brick building in which the telephones were manufactured by Bell and Cowherd's son, James H. Cowherd. In his earliest experiments James Cowherd used a common stovepipe wire to run and operate a line between the factory and the Cowherd home and when the telephone became practical Thomas Cowherd and Bell enjoyed daily conversations between their homes. The Scientific American gave the following account of the death of James H. Cowherd: "The Canadian scientific world will receive with deep regret the intelligence of the death of this rising scientist. Mr. Cowherd died on February 29, 1881, at the early age of 32. He was one of Canada's ablest electricians. At an early age he showed a great taste for constructing mechanical contrivances. Electricity was the field to which he turned. About this time Prof. Bell required a Canadian manufacturer of his telephone and he selected Mr. Cowherd as the most suitable man." 143. F. A.
