Worcester, Worcester Co., MA, USA, Union Army, Private, Comp D, 15th MA Reg; occupation: machinist;
On 21 Oct 1861 Henry was taken prisoner at The Battle of Ball's Bluff, Leesburg, Virginia.
On 30 Oct 1861 at "The Worcester Spy", Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Henry Houghton was included among "The Killed Wounded and Missing of the Fifteenth Regiment," after Ball's Bluff.

On 20 Nov 1861 at "The Worcester Daily Spy", Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Henry Houghton was listed among the prisoners taken at Ball's Bluff.

On 1 Jun 1864 at "The Worcester Spy", Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, Henry Houghton was mentioned in Volume 93 # 22, Worcester Spy, June 1, 1864

We found men who were suffering terrible pain, and the boats were so crowded it was almost suffocating. Many have been neglected, as was readily seen by a glance at their wounds, and numbers tell woeful stories regarding the treatment received. Some had to be moved beds and all, as it was dangerous to transfer them to stretchers. We made it our particular aim to attend personally to the movement of some, and much to their gratification.

The color bearer of the 15th Sergt. Lafayette Warden, Sergt Henry J. Ball, and private Henry R. Dawson of Co. D, 15th, all badly wounded, were attended by us. Sergt. Henry Houghton of Co. D, from Worcester, was badly wounded in three places---right thigh broken, and had to be handled very carefully. We learn from the latter that Lieut. Hastings and 1st Sergt Barnard, were all right at last accounts, and spoken of in the highest terms. Sergt McFarland of Co. I was unhurt and called a perfect salamander against bullets.
On 27 Jul 1864 Henry ended military service with the 15th Massachusetts by administrative transfer to the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry as absent wounded.

Starting 28 Jul 1864, Henry also served in the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, Company "G."
He ended his service by discharge for disability on 10 Jul 1865.
