Squires in Brattleboro, where his home had been for the past five years, his death was due to old age and exhaustion, and he had been ill since last October. The body was brought to Putney on the noon train Tuesday, and the funeral was held In the Congregational church at 1 o’clock, Rev. C. J. Harris officiating. Golden Rule lodge of Masons attended in a body. The burial was in the Mt. Pleasant cemetery and was under the Masonic ritual.Mr. Houghton was born in Bolton, Mass., Nov. 12, 1812, and was a son of Timothy and Olive (Moore) Houghton. He was a direct descendant of John Houghton who bought the town of Lancaster, Mass., from the Indian chief Tahanto. The deed of this town was one of Mr. Houghton's most valued relics. When a young man Mr. Houghton left his childhood home and went to Cambridge, Mass., where he made many friends, one of whom was Henry W. Longfellow. His sister became the wife of Dexter Pratt, “the village blacksmith.” In after years Mr. Houghton was proud of two relics of “the spreading chestnut tree,” a card receiver and a napkin ring.
Mr. Houghton married Sarah Ann Meade of Bolton April 7, 1837, and they went to Marlboro, this state, where he engaged in the manufacture of carriages until 1840, when he came to Putney. Here he saw ins eight children grow up, leave the old home and go out into the world. In 1887 Mr. and Mrs. Houghton celebrated their golden wedding anniversary, and at that time the family circle was complete. In July, 1894, Mrs. Houghton died, and since then Mr. Houghton has lived with his daughter, Mrs. Squires.
While in Putney Mr. Houghton waa a farmer and lived in the large house at the top of Kimball Hill, now owned by Homer Taft. He had held about all the town offices, and in 1870 he was a member of the constitutional convention. He was justice of the peace for nearly 40 years and was deacon of the Congregational church about 50 years. He was a prominent Mason, the oldest member of Golden Rule lodge and a charter member of Golden Rule chapter. He was the last of his father’s family.

Houghton of Springfield, Mass; Geo. A. Houghton of Salida, Col; Mrs. Sarah L. Harding of Southwick, Mass; Dr. S. W.

Obituary

Nov 8, 1895

MRS. D. A. HOUGHTON.
Mrs. Emily B. Houghton died Wednesday morning at her home on Green street, alter a long Illness from progressive paralysis. Her age was 78. She was the daughter of Luther Miller of Dummerston and was bom in that town in 1817. There were ten children in the family, of whom M. M. Miller and B. C. Miller, both of Brattleboro, are the only survivors. Mrs. Houghton grew up in Dummerston and with the exception of the time which she spent at work in Boston at her trade as a talloress she lived In that town until her marriage in 1843 to Don A. Houghton. Immediately after their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Houghton settled on the well-known Houghton farm on the Putney road where they lived until Mr. Houghton's death in 1884. Seven children were bom to them, of whom six are living John F. who occupies the old homestead, Emma, wife of W. H. Frost of AVllliamsville, Ada E., a long-time employee of The Phoenix office, Ella L., Annie the wife of F. M. Walte, and Bertha A. Jennie, the youngest of the family, wife of F. W. Nichols, died In 1888. Mrs. Houghton united with the Congregational church In Dummerston at the age of 10. She never transferred her membership from that church and always
ieu a ueep interest in its auairs. After tne death of her husband she came to Brattleboro and her home has since been with ber daughters here. Disability caused by a broken hip has kept her from mingling with the active life of the community but she has had many friends who have found pleasure In her bright and Intelligent conversation. Energy and perseverance were her marked personal Qualities. She maintained to the last a lively Interest In the
affairs of the day, and there were few who could talk with her vigor and Intelligence upon the politics of the last 50 years. Her final lllnss, which first showed itself last spring, was undoubtedly due to the broken hip already spoken of. The funeral was held at the house yesterday afternoon, Rev.
C. O. Day officiating. The burial was In the family lot on Prospect hill.
