PASSING OF EDWARD S. HOUGHTON AT GRAYLING

Grayling residents were astounded Monday night when is was learned that Edward S. Houghton had passed away. Mr. Houghton had been ailing for some time and two weeks ago began to be troubled more than usual and Monday submitted to an operation at Mercy hospital at Grayling. The trouble proved to be cancer. He failed to rally from the operation and passed away at 5:30 o'clock that evening.

Edward S. Houghton was born August 29, 1866, in Cass City, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. George Houghton. He received his education in the Cass City schools and in 1903 was united in marriage to Miss Blanch Rosevear of North Branch. Mr. Houghton went north in 1897 working in the lumber mills. Later he became associated in business with Marius Hansen and T. E. Douglass in the manufacture of shingles, posts and other wood commodities. He was county treasurer at Grayling for four years and during those years was elected county surveyor, which public office he held off and on for years.

Surviving the deceased are his widow and two sons, Esmond Lloyd and Nyland Insley; also a brother, Charles Houghton of Everett, Wash.

Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the home conducted by the Masonic fraternity.6

Chronicle Readers:

There have not been many changes in the DeLong family since migrating from your community. As for the head of the house, he still holds forth at his old trade, building bungalows for the westerners at the same time regaling the passers-by with the same old whistle. Master Nigel would scarcely be recognized as the little lad who left Cass City three years ago, and while not yet 12 years old, he is a big, husky fellow measuring 5 ft. 3 in., and weighing 117 lbs.3

Clarence W. Houghton

Funeral services were held Friday evening in the home at 276 Drexel, Detroit, for Clarence Walter Houghton, who passed away suddenly Wednesday, Jan. 6, with a heart attack while at work for the Packard Motor Company in Detroit.

The body was brought to Cass City Saturday morning and a brief service conducted by Rev. Charles Bayless, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, was held in the chapel at Elkland cemetery.

Clarence Walter Houghton was born in Oakland county, Jan. 26, 1872, and was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Abram Houghton. He was united in marriage with Miss Mabel Snell in the fall of 1896 near Cass City and they made their home on a farm, 2 1/2 miles south and 1/2 mile east of Cass City. A few years later they moved to Ruth where he went into the harness business.

The last 21 years have been spent in Detroit where Mr. Houghton worked for the Packard company.

He is survived by his wife, two sons, Earl Houghton of New Jersey and Merrill Houghton of Cleveland, Ohio; three sisters and one brother, Mrs. Joe Collins and Roy Houghton of Detroit, Mrs. Edith Adams of Chicago and Mrs. Harriet Dodge of Cass City.2
