Obituary

May 5, 1934

James Houghton, Native of Town, Dies At Capital
Lieutenant-commander James E Houghton, an officer in the United States Naval Service and a native of Northumberland, died Thursday afternoon at Washington, D. C.
following an illness of many months. He was 43 years of age. Dr. Houghton had been on sick leave since the first of the year and had been treated in the Naval hospital at Washington for an ailment eved to have been contracted from exposure in the Philippines during the World War. He had been able to be about and his condition did not become serious until several days ago. Dr. Houghton was the son of James Clifford and Elizabeth Gaskins Houghton and was born in Northumberland on August 11,
1891. He received his early education in the Northumberland schools and at the age of 18 years enlisted in the U. S. Naval Service. He later enrolled at George Wash-
ington University and graduated with his doctor's degree. He had been a physician in the Naval Sevices for approximately 20 years. During World War II he served in the Philippines. Later he was located in California, Panama, Bostojn, and finally Washington. His father James C. Houghton formerly conducted a jewelry store in Northumberland and is now located in Washington where he is in government service for many years. The son was a member of the Episcopal church at Washington.
Starting as a private he reached a high position in the service thru hard work and application. He was well known in Northumberland having been a frequent visitor here in the past. Surviving are his father, his wife, the former Betty Fordyce, of Washington, and a son and a daughter, James, Jr., aged 16 and Betty, aged 13.
Funeral services have not been announced. Mrs. B. A. Duncan, a cousin, of Seventh and Duke Sts., left this morning to visit the grief stricken family at Washington.
It is probable that burial will be made in the Arlington National cemetery.
