Biography

Bill passed away November 6, 2011 and is now with his precious lord and Savior. He was born July 3rd 1921 in Ranger Texas to the parents of J.B. Houghton and Caroline Oswald Houghton. He met his wife, Catherine, also born and raised in Ranger Texas, as a child. They grew up together in Ranger and married in 1946, after Bill had served his country in WWII as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. In 1950 they moved to Breckenridge, Texas where both of their daughters were born, Jan and Deborah. In 1953 Bill moved his family to Mineral Wells, Texas to own and operate the Mineral Wells Daily Newspaper. He and Catherine raised their daughters here and resided in Mineral Wells for 45 years. Here Bill was an active member of the community. He served on the Board of Directors of the Holiday Hills Country Club, was a member of the Lion's Club and a member of the First Baptist Church. During their time in Mineral Wells, many summers were spent at their cabin at Possum Kingdom Lake where Bill enjoyed fishing and taking his daughters water skiing. Bill was an excellent golfer and spent many hours enjoying golfing with his friends. He was also a very good cook, in fact, he taught his wife, Catherine, to cook and they in turn passed this talent to both daughters.
In 1997 Bill and Catherine moved to Dallas to be close to daughters, Jan and Deborah and their families. It was a difficult decision to leave their home and friends of 45 years, but it proved to be a good one. They joined Prestonwood Baptist Church in 1998 and made many good friends there and were able to enjoy many good times with their daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Bill is survived by his wife, Catherine; they were happily married for sixty five years, two daughters and their husbands, Jan and Jerry Smith, and Deborah and Vance Arnold. He had five grandchildren, three great grandchildren, one brother, J. B. Houghton and wife Mary of Irving, Texas.
The family will receive friends for a visitation on Wednesday, November 9, 2011 from 6:30~8:00 p.m. at Allen Family Funeral Options, Plano, Texas. Funeral Services will be held on Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. at Prestonwood Baptist Church Chapel, Plano, Texas. Bill will be laid to rest following the services at the church at Restland Memorial Park, Dallas, Texas.

Research

Kwasigroh: I found records posted on-line from the Lewis County, WV, courthouse "Death Records, Vol I", which gave the death date for Elizabeth as March 26, 1857. The 1870 census shows William as being 14 years old so he would have been born about 1856. I found this record on ancestry.com (see below). Obviously there is either an incorrect birth date or an incorrect date for the Newspaper, but if the birth date and age are correct, this could very well be the correct William Houghton. I know that Sarah Day Houghton's father, Francis Day, went first to either Kansas or Iowa before settling down in Illinois, where he died. So, I thougt maybe they went there together and William may have died there.
