Robert L. Houghton
Former Laton resident Robert L Houghton, 61, died Wednesday in a Fresno hospital. A native of Norwalk, he lived most of his life in Laton and was a retired farmer. He lived m Downey for a short period before moving to Fresno In 1960. An avid fisherman, he served in the Navy in World War II and was a member of the Lion's Club. He is survived by three sons, Robert L Jr , Rlchard Rae, and David C. Houghton, all of Fresno; one daughter Gloria Hooper of Downey. One brother, William Houghton of Laton; one sister, Martha Terrell of Smith Valley, NV and a grandson.

Problem

Wives, dates of marriages, who is mother of his sons are problematic.

Note

Robert was adopted. The family story is his parents were Caucasian and Native American- they were forced to give him up due to his being "mixed race."
