spent here. He received his education in the public schools and until
within the last year or so was a barber. Nearly two years of Mr.
Houghton's life were spent in Evanstown but he returned to DeKalb to work
at his trade. Mr. Houghton has hundreds of friends in the city
and he was respected and well liked. He was a member of the Modern Woodman
of America. Besides his brother Al., Mr. Houghton leaves two sisters, Mrs
J. V. Mennis and Mrs. Emma Cornwall.
