Obituary

Feb 7, 1994

Worcester, NY, USA, Worcester Telegram & Gazette (MA) - February 7, 1994
Deceased Name: JAMES E. HOUGHTON, 84
NORTHBRIDGE - James E. Houghton, 84, of 24 Cottage St., Whitinsville, longtime town forester, died yesterday in Milford-Whitinsville Regional Hospital, Milford, after a long illness.

His wife, Blanche (Gauvin) Houghton, died in 1976. He leaves four daughters, Louise A. Yeo and Shirley A. Gonyor, both of Whitinsville, Nancy J. Cousins of Scottsville, N.Y., and Ann Baker of Hoosick Falls, N.Y; a brother, Bernard Houghton of Bradenton, Fla; a sister, Eva Holbrook of Pocasset; 12 grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; a great-great-grandson; nephews and nieces. He was born in Whitinsville, son of Percy and Edith (Seaver) Houghton, and lived there all his life. He attended Northbridge High School and graduated from F.A. Bartlett School of Tree Surgery, Stamford, Conn., in 1928.

Mr. Houghton joined the U.S. Forest Service in 1932 in the first Civilian Conservation Corps camp in Massachusetts. He was later a forester for 10 years for the state Department of Natural Resources. He was named assistant tree warden in 1946, and became tree warden in 1964. He won every subsequent election to the post, and retired in 1992 at age 82.

Mr. Houghton was a forester for more than 50 years. He recalled that his "baptism" into the world of Northbridge trees was the aftermath of the hurricane of 1938. He helped to clean up the mess with a crew of eight other men.

Mr. Houghton also worked at the former Whitin Machine Works in Whitinsville. He was most recently a custodian in the Northbridge school system for several years before he retired. He was then a counselor at the former Gray Rock Rehabilitation Center in North Uxbridge. He was a member of Village Congregational Church in Whitinsville, and founded the church's first chapter of Alcoholic Anonymous. He was active in AA for many years. He was a member of the Massachusetts Tree Wardens Association. He was also an accomplished watercolor artist for many years.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. tomorrow in Village Congregational Church, 25 Church St., Whitinsville. Burial will be in Pine Grove Cemetery, Whitinsville.

Obituary

Jan 13, 2012

Passing of DCAT Past President: Proctor W. Houghton

Robbinsville, NJ, January 13, 2012 – It is with great sadness that the DCAT organization learned of the passing of Proctor W. Houghton, who served as president of the organization from 1985 to 1986 and was the former president of Houghton Chemical Corporation. Below is the obituary provided by the Houghton Chemical Corporation.

Proctor W. Houghton, born November 24, 1916 in Worcester, Massachusetts, passed away on January 12, 2012. Having lived most of his life in Newton, MA, with a summer home in Brewster, MA, Proctor graduated from Wesleyan University in 1939. An active alumnus, he was given the Distinguished Alumni Award in 1984 and funded the Houghton Scholarship awarded annually based upon activities, interests, big ambition and vigorous effort rather than on grades. During World War II, he was employed by Allied Chemical starting up new defense plants. Since then, throughout his professional life he was the President of Houghton Chemical Corporation headquartered in Boston, MA.

He was active in a variety of business, educational, and charitable philanthropic organizations. As a young man Proctor distinguished himself as an Eagle Scout, becoming a co-founder of a troop in Wellesley, MA. He was on the Allston Board of Trade, recognized as Member of the Year in 1997. He was a board member and President of the Drug Chemical and Allied Trades Association (DCAT), a national business organization.

He was President and Director of the Ford Hall Forum, the oldest free public educational lecture series in America located in Boston, MA. Proctor was honored by the West End House in 1998. He was a board member of the Vocational Adjustment Center, an active member of the Allston Zoning Advisory Committee and a corporate member of the Boston Aquarium, Museum of Science, Morgan Memorial and a strong supporter of WGBH.

Always concerned with national issues and working toward world peace he was an active participant and supporter of various Quaker organizations, especially the American Friends Service Committee, an organizer and treasurer of the Boston Chapter of Business Executives Move for New Priorities, an organization especially active during the Vietnam War where he was a member of their National Council, and also active in the Union of Concerned Scientists, the United Nations Association, and board member of the Federation of American Scientists and the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology.
