Synopsis of the Life of William Houghton for the benefit of his children
On the 22nd day of October 1845, at a place called Finger Past, in the town of St. Helens, Lancashire, England, there was born a baby boy. This boy's father's name was William Houghton, and his mother's maiden name was Nancy Davies. His father and mother were Latter-day Saints at the time of his birth, so therefore he was brought up in the Mormon faith from his birth, and as soon as his mother was able to attend church after his birth he was blessed and given the name of William. The person performing the ceremony was an Elder of the Church by the name of Milo Andrus.
Being the only child, I was naturally beloved by my parents who cared for me very tenderly. My birthdays were always celebrated. My mother was naturally a very weakly woman. She was a corset maker by trade and labored to help my father make a living for them and me. My father labored in the coal mines. His duty was to look after fire damp or gas, which came from the coal and was apt to explode if the mine was not well ventilated.
I was sent to school by my parents to get an education. Being a very good hand to study, at the age of seven or eight years I was more than an average student. At the age of seven years I met
with a very great misfortune. My mother, my best friend on earth was called to the great beyond from which none returneth. I well remember the night of her death and the feeling it produced in my bosom as I lay on the couch and heard the words spoken by my aunt, “She's gone.” As I was young and tender they thought it best not to awake me, not knowing that I had heard the warning and was sobbing on a wet pillow, her only child whom she had been called upon to leave to the mercy of whom she knew not.
At the time of her death we had moved away.from the place of my birth, 16 miles to a place
called Finsley. Having no relations there, my father thought it best to move me to a place called Phatto Heath to live with my aunt on my father's side by the name of Singleton. I was sent to school there also. I lived there a few months and then the family decided to move to Salt Lake City. They were also Latter-day Saints and believed in the gathering of Israel. This was in 1853. This made it necessary that my father should arrange for me a new home, so he decided to take me to another aunt on his side by the name of Partington. I well remember packing my bundle of clothes and bedding and saying good-bye to the Singletons, who soon sailed for America [comment by David Carl Houghton: The Singletons crossed the plains in the Cyrus H Wheelock company of 1853, along with Ann's neice Sarah Partington Kay and her husband William Edward Kay (Sarah was cousin to William, the author of this autobiography, and daughter of the Partingtons with whom William and his father lived). The Singletons and the Kays likely crossed the Atlantic together as well].
I lived with the Partington family, as did my father, until his death which happened on the 22nd day of October 1854. Before his death he was making plans to come to Utah himself, but was
persuaded to let a widow with a large family have his money [comment by David Carl Houghton: I believe this was Margaret Battersby Kay, whose husband John Kay had died in 1853, leaving her with eight children, all of whom emigrated with her to Utah, and with whom 17-year-old William lived after arriving in Utah eight years later. John and Margaret were the parents of William Edward Kay, mentioned in the paragraph above]. She promised to return it the following season. The person promising to see that the money was returned was A. F. McDonald.
After my father had lent his money, he went to labor again in the coal mines and took a severe cold which settled in his lungs. I well remember during his short period of sickness of going to the doctor with him and upon the return trip leading me by the hand knowing no doubt it would be the last time we should walk together. I being an innocent child did not realize the parting was so near, until he stopped with tears in his eyes and made the remark, “William my child, how would you like to be left an orphan?” In my innocence I asked the meaning. I told him I would not like to be left an orphan. His answer was “If you are, be a good boy, and God bless you. Be good to your aunt.”
After living with the Partingtons a few months, they being poor, I was forced to look for
work. The first place that I asked for work was at a soap factory, but was turned down by the boss
for not being old enough or large enough. A friend whose name was Richard Harrison gave me a note to a contractor who was building a row of houses, recommending me for my honesty. He had proven me often by sending me to the bank to do business for him. I labored at this place for about three months for eight cents a day. The contract being finished I had to look again for work.
I hated to go to the coal mines but was forced to go. I worked in the coal mines for some seven years. Once I was partly covered up and another time I was burned with powder. My cousin who was by my side was blinded for six weeks. Although my left arm was burned to blisters I was not allowed to rest a day.
Being of the Mormon faith I was very often scoffed at by the boys at the mine. I knew that my father was a truthful man, and I often heard him bear his testimony to the truthfulness of Mormonism until I was old enough to know for myself, which to this day I am satisfied is right.
In 1861 my cousin spoke of coming to America to get means to bring the rest of us to America. He arranged for us to go to America providing we could get enough money to cross the ocean. He arranged with a man by the name of Haslain to pay our way over the sea, and we were to take him from Florence to Utah by a team. [In Pioneers and Prominent Men of Utah by Frank Esshom, there is a profile of a man by the name of John R Haslam, born in 1828 in Berry, Lancashire, England, who emigrated to Utah in 1853.] The team was to be furnished by the family that my father had lent money to come to America. Her name was Kay [Margaret Battersby Kay-see comment above].
I well remember the last time 1 was hoisted out of the mine 1 had worked so long in, and hoping that no accident would happen to keep me from landing safely on top. I expected to leave for America in a week or so, but to my disappointment the ship was not ready for two or three weeks. So I went to another mine for a few days, against my will. When I was about to leave St Helens for Liverpool before crossing the ocean, it was a hard task to bid my friends and playmates good-bye, they were boys and girls that I had been raised with.
Previous to my father's marriage to my mother he had been married to a supposed widow. Her husband had been a soldier and had been gone for years and nothing from him had been heard. When they had been living together for a long time the husband came home and claimed his wife. According to the law, he took her against her will. After living with her a short time he left again and never returned. The woman wanted my father again, but he refused. There were no children
in this marriage.
I left my friends to come to America in the month of May 1862, on a ship by the name of
Manchester. There were 376 Mormons on board. We were on the sea about six weeks. We were once surrounded by seven icebergs and at times would have been smashed to pieces except for one of the passengers who saw an iceberg through the fog ahead of us. We at one time saw scores of sharks along the side of the ship, waiting for the offal to be thrown out to them. Another time we saw seven whales spouting water into the air and trailing each other in a straight line. At one time a dead whale floated past our ship and there was a shark gnawing at it. At one time a small bird came on the ship which no one was allowed to harm, as the sailors said that we were not far from land.
When we had been to sea about ten days from Liverpool a knocking was heard and upon investigation it was found a man had been stowed away and was very near death. He was brought out as soon as he was able to move around and was shipped around the place and called a gathy. Another time one of the sailors got into trouble with one of the mates, and was punished by being hung up by the thumbs so as he had to stretch to have his toes touch the floor of the deck. The passengers would not stand for it and had him cut down.
We landed in America in 1862 and lived in Mona, Utah with William and Mary Ann Kay [comment by David Carl Houghton: William Kay was the son of the widow whose family's emigration was funded by William Houghton's father before his death].
[The remainder was presumably written by an anonymous relative between 1930 and 1942:]
William Houghton said that Mary Ann Kay was always as good to him as with her own child and he always felt at home and had a feeling toward her as though she were his own mother [comment by David Carl Houghton: Mary Ann was 20 years old when William Houghton came to live with her family-just three years older than he-and was born only 10 miles from his birthplace in England, suggesting that she might have been acquainted with him through the Church prior to her emigration]. At one time he lived with Edward Kay for a while and herded sheep for his board and clothes [comment by David Carl Houghton: Edward, or William Edward, was the eldest child of the widow whose emigration had been subsidized by William Houghton's father; Edward's wife was William Houghton's cousin]. When he was a little older he took the town cow herd to make a little money for himself. About this time he met Elvira Carter. In about the year 1864 he married her and they settled in Mona. Later he bought a place in York [comment by David Carl Houghton: I wonder if this settlement, not in existence today, was named after the family that included Aaron and Sarah York, who married into the Carter family and settled in the Santaquin area]. Their house stood on the place where Mr. Cox now lives. This couple reared a large family, there being five boys and six girls. Nine of them are living now. At one time he was handling the freight for the U.P. Railroad. He followed this work until it reached Milford.
     After leaving York he came back to Mona and lived in Bill Yates' home located where Branch Young now lives. Later on he moved to James Evans' home, known as the Keyte place now. Later he moved to the Summerville place where Frank Evans now lives. While living there he built a home of his own, the home where his son now lives.
     He was an agent for the Singer Sewing Machine Company. At one time he was president of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association. He was always an active church worker. Later he moved to the Tintic district and was weighmaster for the Momoth Mining Company.
When his youngest boy was about seven years old his wife died of dropsy at the age of forty-six, leaving a large family to be cared for. After losing his wife he went back to Tintic and clerked at Riters store at Silver City. While there he was elected County Commissioner along with J.D. Kirkendall and J.J. Thomas and moved to Nephi. While living in Nephi he married a widow by the name of [Liza Ann Robertson] Beddingfield who had three small children, two boys and one girl [comment by David Carl Houghton: IGI indicates she had two girls and one boy]. To this marriage two boys were born. When his term expired he moved back to Eureka where he was choir leader. He and his daughter sang there for years. He was City Sexton in Eureka for a long time or as long as he lived there.
He was very witty and had a sunny disposition and always looked on the bright side of life. He was always a good entertainer in socials and he wrote many pieces of poetry. In later years he and his second wife separated and he lived with his children. He was always in good health until his death at his daughter's home Mrs. May Vest on December 31, 1929 in Kaysville, Utah. He was a very good penman and when anyone wanted something copied they always came to him.
This was copied from the copy belonging to Henry Garfield, son of Lorraine Houghton Garfield.4
