Houghton, Mr./Mrs. Ira C. (Gold Anniv-8 JUN 1873)
On June 8, 1873, Ira Clarence Houghton, and Miss Emma Levis, an accomplished young maiden of eighteen summers, were united in the holy bonds of wedlock. The ceremony was performed at Black River Falls, where the bride was employed in a millinery shop. The groom was accumulating experience for use in later life by canvassing for books in Neillsville and vicinity. The happy young folks, and the happiness yet continues, resided on the farm in Houghtonburg with the groom's parents until the fall of that year, and then went to California, where they spent the first seven years of their married life. Returning, they have since lived in Houghtonburg, excepting one year recently spent in the Golden State.
