BiographyElmina married William Houghton on February 13, 1845 in Lorain, OH and had a daughter Almina Houghton who married Abram Packard. Elmina died shortly after the birth of her daughter, Almina. She died at age 21 (on stone)/24 (in obit). Parents married in 1822, so I am going with age 24. Almina was raised by her grandparents (Grinnells) after her mother died. Parents: Stephen and Esther (Dodge) Grinnells. Some records show Grenolds/Grinnells/Grinnolds.
Stephen and Esther married September 26, 1822 in Hawley, Franklin, MA. Esther was born in Hawley, MA on March 9, 1795 to Silas and Content Dodge.3
ResearchA transcription of her grave (Ridgelawn Cemetery Elyria, Lorain County, OH)) in 1930 said her parents were Stephen and Esther Reynolds. A picture of the stone was sent to me and you can no longer read it.1

EmailMay 16, 2009Hi, I am looking for any history on William HOUGHTON born 1822 in New York. He moved to Ohio before 1845. Lorain County, Ohio Genealogy said he married Almira Grinnella on 2-13-1845. They had a daughter that I know of Almina (Mina) Houghton born on 11-18-1848 in Lorain County,Ohio. Her mother died shortly after birth on 12-14-1848. A transcription of her grave (Ridgelawn Cemetery Elyria, Lorain County, OH)) in 1930 said her parents were Stephen and Esther Reynolds. A picture of the stone was sent to me and you can no longer read it. In the 1850 Census Almina was living with her grandparents Stephen and Esther Grinnolds and not her father William. In 1860 Census Almina is living with Steph and Esther Griswold. Parts of an obituary for Elmina (Williams wife) is online and her maiden name was Grenolds. I sent away for the whole obit from The Lower Sandusky Telegraph, but the person said it was missing. I have not found another source for this paper as of yet.
The names in red are all the same people and I am not sure which is correct.
William was in the Civil War. He signed up in Jackson, MI. Remarried to Ella Tottan in Ridgeway, MI on 5-2-1878 and had three more children. William died on 4-28-1886 in Empire, Leelanau County, MI (Leelanau County Death Records also Michigan Deaths 1867-1897 at familysearch.com records) .His daughter married Abram Packard and she lived in Leelanau County, MI. Mina died 6-30-1920 (Grand Traverse County Records) and buried in East Kasson Cemetery in Leelanau County, MI. I am not sure when William moved to Michigan or if he came with his daughter Mina. Mina was in Lenawee County, MI for awhile as Mrs.Abram Packard. I am not sure if they married in Ohio (he was born there also) or Michigan. This is all I have right now, do you have any more info on this family?
Thank you,
Lynn (ggg granddaughter of William)

Eleanor Houghton Talbert, 89, of Front Royal, Virginia, died Monday, March 26, 2012, at her residence.

Ms. Talbert was born December 30, 1922 in Evanston, Illinois, the daughter of Charles D. M. and Nelle Deaton Houghton.

She worked in administrative support positions at the National Geographic and Sulgrave Club in Washington, D.C. After moving to the Front Royal area, she worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant at the Winchester Memorial Hospital. Her most personally rewarding position came in her later years, in the kitchen of the Retreat House at Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville, where her service became an expression of her faith.

Surviving are her three sons, Pierre Talbert of Wilmington, NC, Charles Talbert and his wife Vicky of Monona, WI, and Glenn Talbert of Thomasville, GA; and a granddaughter, Amelia Talbert of Wilmington, NC.

A brother, Evans Houghton, preceded her in death.

A mass will be held 2:30 p.m. Saturday, April 14, 2012, at the Holy Cross Abbey in Berryville with Abbot Robert Barnes, O.C.S.O. officiating. A graveside service will follow at 4:15 p.m. at her home. Immediately following the graveside service, the family will receive friends to celebrate her life.
