The Military Record of Clark County, Wisconsin from "The History of Clark Co., WI" by Franklyn Curtiss-Wedge, pg. 721 - 726  When President Lincoln, in 1861, called upon the loyal North for volunteers to aid the government of the United States in suppressing the rebellion in the Southern States, the County of Clark responded nobly. It then had within its borders about 120 families and a population, all told, of approximately 800. There are no records attainable relative to any enlistments for three months' service, if there were any, but the county furnished to one company of the 14th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry about thirty men. They were all enlisted and enrolled in Co. I of that regiment for three years, and when they left the state to take the field the company was in command of Capt. Calvin R. Johnson, of Black River Falls, an able lawyer and a good soldier.  The Fourteenth Regiment, it is said, was one of the best that Wisconsin put in the field. It left the state early in March, 1862, and in less than thirty days was engaged in the battle of Shiloh, where it lost nearly 100 men in killed, wounded and missing. In October of the same year the regiment lost ninety-five men killed, wounded and missing at the battle of Corinth.  The members of this regiment were with Grant at Vicksburg, in 1863, and in a charge before that city in May of that year they sustained the loss of 107 men. On the surrender of Vicksburg the regiment was given the post of honor and led the advance of the troops on their entry into the surrendered city. The members of the Fourteenth also saw service on the Red River expedition and a portion of it was with General Sherman in his Atlanta campaign. Early in 1865 they were sent to New Orleans, and shortly after were engaged with the enemy at Spanish Fort until its surrender, and were in various skirmishes along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. They were not mustered out until Oct. 9, 1865, about six months after the surrender of Lee to Grant at Appomatox Court House. General Sherman, in his memoirs, referring to regiments from Wisconsin, states that her regiments were kept filled with recruits, whereas other states generally filled their quota by new regiments, and the result was that he estimated a Wisconsin regiment equal to an ordinary brigade.

----Houghton, Edgar Putman (Feb. 1845 - 14 Sept. 1925)

Edgar Putman Houghton was born in the village of Greene, Chenango County, New York, on the second day of February, 1845. He came to McHenry county, Illinois, with his parents in 1854, and in 1856 they settled in the town of Alma, Jackson county, Wisconsin, coming through from McHenry county with ox team and wagon. His father was David J. Houghton, the eldest of the five Houghton brothers that bought government land and opened farms in the territory which for many years has been known as Houghtonburg.

Edgar attended school in the log school house built on his father's farm, for three or four months each winter until October, 1861, when he enlisted in Captain C. R. Johnson's company of Black River Rangers, which afterwards became Co. I, 14th Wis. Vol. Inft. This company took part in the battles of Shiloh, Vicksburg, Tupelo, Nashville, Spanish Fort, and many smaller engagements and was mustered out at Mobile, Ala., in October, 1864.

He was married to Elizabeth Nettleton on March 11, 1866, and moved onto his farm one mile south of Humbird, in 1870. In the fall of that year, he walked seventeen miles through the woods to Neillsville where he was made a Master Mason. In 1874 he left the Neillsville lodge to become a charter member of Humbird Lodge No. 191, F. & A. M., which was instituted June 18, of that year. He served the lodge as Worshipful Master in 1881 and again in 1892 and '93. He was also interested in Grand Army affairs and was a frequent attendant upon state and national encampments and other reunions of the Boys in Blue.

He resided on his farm in the thown of Mentor for twenty-six years, taking an active part in public affair; in these years he held all the offices in town excepting that of assessor. In 1896 he was elected county treasurer and was re-elected in 1898.

His wife, Elizabeth, died Jan. 11, 1902, leaving one daughter, Mary Irene (now Mrs. F. D. Metcalf, of Puyallup, Wash.) and two sons, Ira P., of San Jose, Calif., and Ralph O.

In 1903, Mr. Houghton went to Marengo, Ill., where on March 25, of that year, he was married to Alice E. Wells. They resided at Marengo until the fall of 1904, when they went to Tacoma, Wash., where they remained until 1910, when they moved to Puyallup, Wash., which has since been his home. His wife, Alice E., died on Oct. 17, 1919.

Through the passing years Mr. Houghton retained his interest in Masonry, and last year when the local lodge celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, he came back to participate in the festivities. It was one of the happiest times of his life to be able to be present on that occasion. He fully realized that it would be his last visit to the old home, the last opportunity to mingle with the friends of half a century gone, to clasp for the last time the hand of his old army comrades.

Mr. Houghton spent a month of more here and soon after returning home he was united in marriage with Mrs. Mary A. Stern, Aug. 11, 1924. After only about a year of happiness together, he closed his eyes in eternal sleep. Stricken the fore part of August, he gradually lapsed into unconsciousness, and passed peacefully away on Monday evening, Sept. 14, 1925. The burial was held on the following Wednesday, and all that was mortal of Edgar Putman Houghton was placed in the tomb beside his wife, Alice E., in a Tacoma cemetery.

No eulogy is needed for this long and useful life. When the news of his death was received here last Saturday sorrow was expressed by all who knew him, and tears came to the eyes of those who knew him best. A truly good man has claimed the reward of a life well spent.7
