BiographyVT Gen. & Family: Dr. Mial B. Houghton is the oldest, from point of years of practice, veterinary surgeon of Bennington, and his success has placed him in the
front rank among the representatives of the profession in this part of the state. He was born in Shaftsbury, Vermont, on the 14th of October,
1849. His father, Nelson Houghton, was also native of that place and was a son of Timothy Houghton, whose birth occurred in .Connecticut.
The first representatives of the name in the new world came from England and settled in the Charter Oak state in colonial days. Grandfather
Houghton left Connecticut and became one of the pioneer settlers of Shaftsbury, Vermont, where he secured a large tract of land covered
with native timber, and devoted his remaining days to the improvement of his property, his efforts as an agriculturist bringing to him a good
financial return. He married Frances Gawyer. who was born in Connecticut and was of French- Spanish lineage. Her father was a French
major, but her mother was born in Spain. By the marriage of Timothy and Frances Houghton were born ten children. The mother was a consistent
member of the Methodist Episcopal church and died in that faith at the age of eighty six years. Nelson Houghton wvas reared in Shaftsbury
and after arriving at years of maturity married Almira Herrington, who was born in Shaftsbury. They began their domestic life in a log
cabin, in true pioneer style, but the little home was brightened by the presence of four children, of whom three are yet living, Timothy and Rufus.
both of whom are residents of Dover, Vermont; and Mial. Nelson Houghton devoted his entire life to agricultural pursuits and prospered in his
undertakings, so that as the years passed he was enabled to add to his place all the comforts of civilization. The little log cabin was replaced
by a substantial and commodious frame residence, and it was in that home that he died, at the age of fifty-eight years. He gave his political
support to the Whig party, and on that ticket was called to a number of local offices, in which he discharged his duties with marked ability and
fidelity. His wife died at the age of forty-one years. Dr. Houghton spent his early life at the old home in Shaftsbury, pursued his education in its
public schools and in 1863 came to Bennington, where he remained until 1870. In that year he went to New York, where he remained for one
year employed as a salesman. The Soummond Brothers had a large shipping business and also engaged in the manufacture and sale of lightning
rods, and of the latter department of their business Mr. Houghton had charge for two years. In 1872 he attended lectures in the American
Veterinary University (now Leobard's Veterinary University), and for two years and seven months was a student at that college. At that
time his mother's health failed, and he returned to Bennington to manage the disposal of the property of the estate. It was at that time that
he established his livery business, and was also proprietor of a meat market in 1877-8. In connection with his livery he began the practice of
veterinary surgery, which he has since followed with excellent success. On the 20th of December, 1880, Dr. Houghton was united in marriage to Miss Helen Wood, a daughter of Franklin Wood, a native of Woodford, Vermont.- Mr. Wood was a machinist by trade, and becoming connected with a mill, gradually worked his way upward and was made superintendent and general manager of all contracts. He married Sarah Crawford, and they became the
parents of two children, Helen, and Charles A. To Mr. and Mrs. Houghton has been born a daughter, Ethel Houghton. Doctor Houghton
is a firm believer in the principles which constitute the Republican platform and ahvays endorses the policy of the party by his ballot, but
has never had time or inclination to seek public office. He is a member of the Stocks Insurance Company of Boston, and belongs to the Sons of
the American Revolution, holding membership with the chapter of New York, of which he has twice been elected vice-president. He belongs
to Company K, Vermont National Guards, and was one of the four original members appointed to draw up a charter and since that time he has
held all of the important offices in the organization. He is connected as examiner with the Humane Society, and belongs to the American Veterinary
Association. He is a very successful man, doing a good business and haA'ing a large practice among the best people in this part of the
state. He and his wife are members of the Baptist church and have a large circle of friends in Bennington.10
