BiographyHist. of Montcalm Co., MI by Dasef, John W.: pp. 531-533
"Olon James Houghton, successful farmer and stock raiser, and a citizen prominent in the public affairs and official life of Douglass township, Montcalm county, Michigan, was born in Allegany county, New York, on October 6, 1857, a son of James W. and Maria Olive (Clark) Houghton, the former born in Allegany county, New York, on January 10, 1835, a son of Leonard Houghton and wife, and the latter born on February 4, 1836, in Granger township, of the same county.
Leonard Houghton, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was born in Houghton, New York, on September 5, 1797, a son of Luther and Anna (Winn) Houghton, the former born at Winchester, New Hampshire, on December 8, 1769; the latter born on July 18 1769. Luther Houghton spent his early life at Windsor, Vermont, and after his marriage moved to Linden, Calendonia county, New York, living there until some time later, when he went to Houghton, Allegany county, New York, where he purchased three hundred acres of land, which before his death, Luther Houghton apportioned among his three sons, which land yet remains in possession of the descendants of the elder Houghton. Luther Houghton was known as one the influential and public spirited men of his day, it being said that the friendliness and fraternal spirit which he exercised towards the Indians of the community had no small part in the peaceful attitude of the Indians toward the early settlers of northwester New York state at the time.
Luther and Anna Houghton were the parents of five children: Emma, who was Mrs. Handy, she dying on June 8, 1846; Luther, who died in infancy; Leonard, a minister of the Methodist church, who died on April 24, 1840; Loren and Warren. Luther died on October 30, 1854; his wife, Anna, died on February 7, 1838.
Leonard Houghton grew to maturity on the home farm, later becoming a minister of the Methodist church, a profession in which he was most able, his ministry in the pioneer days having been an important element in the development of his community. On November 22, 1819, Leonard Houghton was married to Tamzin Foy, who was born on December 12, 1797, and to this marriage were born four children: Samuel who died on June 13, 1850; Willard, who died on April 21, 1896; Stephen; and James W. Leonard Houghton died on April 24, 1840; his wife died on March 13, 1856.
James W. Houghton was reared on the home farm and educated in the common schools of Allegany county, New York, after which he became a farmer, an occupation in which he was successfully engaged during the whold of his active life. On April 3, 1856, James Houghton was married to Maria Olive Clark, who was born in Granger township, Allegany county, New York, and to this marriage was born one son, Olon James. James W. Houghton died on June 6, 1860; Mrs. Maria Houghton died on September 17, 1912.
Olon James Houghton came to Day township, Montcalm county, with his mother, who after the death of James Houghton was married, secondly, to Luther Handy, ad descendant of Eunice Houghton. Olon J. Houghton was educated in the public schools of this community, and afterward became a farmer, following this occupation for some time. He then became a merchant, conducting a general store at Westville, in Day township, Montcalm county, for about eight years. In 1902 Mr. Houghton secured his present farm of eighty acres in Douglass township where he now engaged in general farming and in the raising of considerable quantities of high grade live stock, this together with the conducting of a dairy business, the stock which supplies the custom of Mr. Houghton being of the choicest to be found in the community.
On March 31, 1882, Olon James Houghton was married to Grace E. Jenks, who was born on October 12, 1862, in Gratiot county, Michigan, a daughter of Horace and Malissa (Woodard) Jenks. Olon James and Grace E. Houghton became the parents of five children: Grace E., born on February 7, 1883; Blanche M., March 9, 1885; L. H., April 26, 1887, Bessie P., September 1, 1890, and Leonard O., July 31, 1900.
Grace E., the wife of Olon James Houghton, died on April 14, 1902, and on March 7, 1905, Mr. Houghton was married, secondly, to Mrs. Elizabeth (Brown) Cook, who was born on December 4, 1861, in Ionia county, Michigan, a daughter of Enoch and Elizabeth (Burgess) Brown, natives of Vermont and Oakland county, Michigan, respectively. Prior to her marriage to Mr. Houghton, Mrs. Houghton was the wife of Rufus R. Cook, and to this union were born five children: L. B. and Elmora, deceased; Mary, Byron and Catherine.
Not only has Olon James Houghton been successful as a farmer and dairyman, but as a business man he is prominently affiliated, now being a stockholder of the local telophone company, as well as president of the McBride Produce Company, of Montcalm county.
Olon James Houghton has taken a leading place in the official life of Douglass and Day townships, for two terms having been a supervisor of Day township, a school director of the same community, justice of the peace in that township, and now Mr. Houghton is serving as justice of the peace in Douglass township. In addition to his other offices of trust and honor, Mr. Houghton served, for several years, as postpaster of Westville, Montcalm county. Politically, Mr. Houghton is a Republican, although he is practically independent in local political affairs.
Fraternally, Olon James Houghton is a member of the Ancient Order of Gleaners, being prominent in the affairs of this organization. As a citizen and as a man Mr. Houghton is highly respected, his unselfish life and his interest in the public welfare, to the promotion of which he has given much time and effort, having won for him a place of note among the people of Montcalm county.10
