Biography

George W. Houghton, (Farmer, Section 19, Post-office, Kingston)
Mr. Houghton, a man over whom more than 40 years have passed, is native to Missouri and also to this county, having been born here December 25, 1844. His father, John S. Houghton, is well remembered among the earliest settlers of the county, for he was a man who for a long time was actively and usefully associated with the interests of Caldwell county and vicinity. The Houghtons were early comers to this country and, as far as we are able to trace their history, they were from England, locating first in New Jersey after reaching this continent. George's grandfather, William Houghton, was a soldier of the Revolution. His son, John S., before referred to, first saw the light in New Jersey, from which State he removed to Cortland county, N.Y., when 23 years old. While there he met and espoused Miss Lucy K. Alvord, a lady of rare personal attraction and beauty of character, and who at this writing retains a brightness of memory and intellect so marked that she deescribes very vividly reminiscences which occured years ago. She is now 77 years of age, remarkably well preserved in every particular. Members of the Alvord family were also participants in the Revolutionary War. Their name has become more than ordinarily well known in this country, and especially prominent is it in the State of New York, where many of their representatives have filled prominent positons and responsible ones, too, in the social and political history of the State. Numerous judges, legislators and lieutenant-governors have born this name. The family of John S. Houghton and wife consisted of six children: William, Alice C. (Brown), Charles H. H., Geo. W., Joab, and Rachel E. (Orr). Rachel and Charles are now deceased In 1844 Mr. Houghton, Sr., became a citizen of this county and here he engaged in agricultural pursuits. He was highly esteemed by those who were favored with his acquaintance, and once represented with ability his county in the Legislature. He died August 28, 1865. Brought up in this county, and also educated in the schools in this locality, George W. Houghton has a very extensive acquaintance of the people and the country around about. When 17 years of age he returned to New York and attended the Homer Academy, at Cortland, where he supplemented the course of instruction received here. In 1855 he returned to his home and since then has been industriously occupied in tilling the soil. His farm of 80 acres embraces some choice land and is well improved. Mr. H.'s wife is the daughter of John Orr, a sketch of whose life appears elsewhere in this volume Her maiden name was Mary A. Orr, and their marriage was consummated October 4, 1881. One child has blessed this union, Charles H.¹¹

OBITUARY OF JOAB HOUGHTON
Joab Houghton, the youngest son of Hon. John S. and Lucy Houghton, was born one and one-half miles west of Kingston, on what is called the Locust Grove Farm, August 1,1847, and died January 28, 1927, and on part of the same farm upon which he was born, aged 79 years, 5 months and 27 days. While yet a child his parents returned to Courtland county, New York, by wagon drawn by yoke of oxen, from whence they came to Missouri in the same way in 1844. In 1865 the family again returned to Caldwell county where the subject of this sketch, except four years from 1861 to 1865, had spent his life. In every community and among all classes, there are always a few men who seem to become leaders, in whatever they do. Such was the family of Hon. .John S. Houghton. This family consisted of six children, William, Alice C., Charles F., George W., Joab and Rachel E., all now deceased, except. William and George W. The above parents were descendents of the pioneer families, who won fame in this country during the American Revolution.
Hon John S. Houghton was born in New Jersey Sept. 9, 1805. His parents came to this country from England and settled in New Jersey. He died in Illinois August 28th, 1865, while he and his family were returning to Caldwell county from New York. He married Lucy K. Alvord Sept. 6, 1834, who was born in New York, July 15, 1808, and died in Caldwell county, August 31, 1890. Joab Houghton was married March 9, 1871, to Miss Mary Fugitt, who was born in Illinois but grew to womanhood in this county. On March 9th they would have been married 56 years. This union has been blessed with a family of six children. The names in order of birth are Fannie May, wife of Wm. Frazier, Kingston; Carrie F... wife of T. O. Es- teb, Kansas City, Mo; John S. Mirabile township and Alice B wife of Frank
Lake, Mirabile township; Maud M., wife of Edward Weddle, Kansas City; and Hugh J. at home.
Mr. Houghton was an extensive farmer and successful stockman and always stood for the best interests of the community. He joined the Christian Church 24 years ago and was a faithful member to the end. He leaves to mourn a widow and six children, eight grandchildren, two aged brothers, William 91 years, and George W., 84 years, also a host of friends and neighbors.
Funeral services were held at the Kingston Christian Church, Sunday, January SO at two o’clock, conducted by Rev> True Taylor of Cameron. Interment was in the Kingston cemetery.

Biography

Joab Houghton (Farmer and Stock-raiser, Section 30, post-office, Kingston)
In every community and among all classes there are always a few men who seem to become leaders in whatever they do, whetehr of a commercial or agriculatural nature; and these same men are the ones who perhaps unconsciously take a prominent and active interest in promoting any movementw which may be thought capable of tending to the welfare of the county or vicinity in which they may reside. Such a one is Mr. Houghton, a native-born citizen of Caldwell county, and a man highly respected by every one who knows him. His parents were Hon. John S. and Lucy (Alvord) Houghton, who came originally from Cortland county, N.Y., to this county in 1844; and it was some four years after this, on August 1, 1847, that Joab was born. Though spending his boyhood and early manhood here, he accompanied his parents to Cortland county, N.Y., when they returned there in 1860, but remained only until 1865, when this county again became their home, and here the subject of this sketch...¹¹
