As compiled and written by Rosa Emm and Dave Reedy about 1990.
A biography of Oscar C. Houghton, the fifth and youngest child of Joseph and Mary Jane (Duffy) Houghton. Compiled from newsletter published by Dave Reedy and Rosa Houghton. As you will recall from the first issue, Joseph and Mary Jane were married in Dekalb, Illinois, in 1866. They soon moved to Michigan where four of their five sons were born. Oscars family moved to Texas in summer of 1876. Oscar Carver Houghton was born October 21, 1876, in Ellis County. Soon after, they moved across the county line into Johnson County, where Joseph rented a farm near Cleburne.

Oscar didn’t get to know his mother very well, for she died in 1879 when he was just three years old. The cause of her death remains unknown at this time. When he was seven, his father married a widow woman, Mary Malinda Mooney (Tubb), who became his stepmother. He spent much of his formative years there in Johnson County.

When Oscar was 24 years old, he married Theodocia Elliege of neighboring Parker County. She was the daughter of Jim and Drucilla Ellege, born May 6, 1881. According to the Federal Census of 1910, she claims to have been born in Mississippi. They were married near the end of 1900, near Garner, Texas, and here is where their first child was born on September 21, 1901. They named him Duffy Drue Houghton; Duffy after his grandmother’s maiden name and Drue after her mother’s name.

Soon after, the family moved to Stevens County and rented the Pollard place. Their second child, Oscar Fred was born here. Then they rented the Cowart place near Caddo. Here Odie Elizabeth and Sherman Paul was born. One year later, Oscar bought the Curry place which consisted of 100 acres, and later bought an adjoining 125 acres from Walter Christian. These lands were located just across the county line into Palo Pinto County. His farm was adjacent to the farm of his brother, Frank.

By 1910, their family had grown to five children. They were Duffy, Fred, Odie, Sherman, and Eugene. Later they had another daughter they named Ora Lee. They farmed cotton on this land and the whole family worked it together. Duffy remembers a time when he was small, they were picking cotton and the stalks were taller than he was. So he got the idea to break the stalks over to reach the ripe cotton balls, not thinking about the unripe balls still on the stalk. When his father saw what he was doing, he made good use of one of the broken stalks, teaching Duffy a quick lesson in farming on the seat of his pants.

In 1916, Doshie took sick with tuberculosis. Even though her name was Theodocia, she never cared for it, so she changed her name to Doshia Drue. Her condition gradually worsened till she passed away on September 16, of that same year. She was just 34 years old. Oscar had taken a wagon load of cedar logs 18 miles into Strawn to buy some groceries when he was called to the phone to be told that his wife was dying. He rushed home but she died before he got there. He buried her in the Brad cemetery.

Oscar remarried in 1918 to Maybon Glover (Storey) of Mineral Wells. Her husband, John, had passed away leaving her with two children, Marvin and Nettie. Oscar still had six children at home, adding her two made eight, and then they had five more. There was Donnie Mae, C.M., the twins Pearl Julia and Earl Junior, and Truman Carver.

In 1939, times in this country were not so good. Work was hard to find, and we were just about to enter World War II. Oscar sold out and moved his family to Caddo. Only C.M., Pearl, Earl, and Truman were still at home. They bought a house, and there they lived for the next ten years. The remaining children all married and left home. After that, they moved to Mineral Wells where he and Maybon could be near Pearl and Donnie. It was in Mineral Wells that Oscar C. Houghton died, on the 12th of October, 1961. He was almost 85 years old. He is buried in Brad cemetery next to Doshia. Maybon lived until July 7, of this year. She would have been 93 on her next birthday. She is buried in Mineral Wells next to John.

Oscar is remembered by his family as being a hard worker, and who sacrificed much for his loved ones. He didn’t like laziness, and wanted everyone around him to be busy. Both of his wives were religious women which must have affected him, for he was saved at a camp-meeting.4

ATTORNEY T. F. HOUGHTON DIES OF DIABETIS

End Came for Prominent Attorney and Business Man Here Last Friday Morning

Judge T. F. Houghton, a resident of Floydada since 1901, and one of the leading members of the South Plains bar, died at his home in Floydada last Friday morning at 7:30, after being confined to his bed for only two days. He had been in poor health for more than two years, however.

The funeral services were held at the Houghton home on South Main Street Saturday afternoon at three o'clock and interment was made in Floydada Cemetery at four. The fu-neral services were conducted by Rev. G. I. Britain, now of Plainview, for a number of years a resident of Floydada, and a close friend of the deceased. A large-crowd of friends of thefamily, both in and out-of-town friends, were present at the funeral service, and were in the cortege to the cemetery. The banks of the city were closed from three to four in the afternoon honoring the deceased.

Judge Houghton was forty-four years of age. He was born July 4th, 1875, at Pond Springs, Texas. Graduated from the University of Texas Law School at Austin with the class of 1900, he came to Floydada in 1901 after a short residence at Brownwood, Texas. From the time he came here until his death he enjoyed a large and remunerative practice before the bars of this and adjoining counties, and made friends in half a dozen counties, many of whom were here to do him honor Saturday afternoon.

He is survived by his wife, three daughters and one son, two brothers and two sisters. The brothers are Dr. W. M. Houghton of this city and F. C. Houghton, of San Angelo. The sisters are Mrs. A. B. Johnson of San Angelo and Mrs. Irene Robinson, of Manor, Texas.
