Obituary courtesy of B. Wacks. DEATH OF THOMAS HOUGHTON Aged Man Died in Upper Graniteville Thursday Morning
Thomas Houghton, a well known resident of Barre Town, passed away at his home in upper Graniteville Thursday morning at 9:45 o'clock. Eight years ago he suffered a shock and had been confined to his bed continuously. He is survived by his wife, five sons, Joseph and Stephen Houghton of Graniteville, Michael Houghton of Butte, Mont., Charles Houghton of Sunset, Idaho, and Thomas Houghton of Laretto, Pa., and by three daughters, Mrs. Mary Coyle of Hartford, Conn., Miss Annie Houghton and Mrs. Frank McGuire of Graniteville. He also leaves three sisters and three brothers as follows: Misses Kate and Mary Houghton of Manchester, N. H., and Margaret, Sister Monica, of Portland, Me., Patrick Houghton of Twin Mountains, N. H., Michael Houghton of Thetford Mines, P. Q., and James Houghton of Manchester, N. H. The deceased was born in St. Sylvester, P. Q., March 20, 1838, and had resided in Graniteville for the past twenty-five years. He was a quarryman by trade. In eight years of illness, in a period when he was scarcely able to move and deprived of his speech, Mr. Houghton was a patient sufferer. Funeral services will be held in St. Sylvester's church in Graniteville Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Rev. Joseph Turcot, the parish priest, will officiate and interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery on Beckley street. It is requested that flowers be omitted.
