Residence1875CO, USA, "Marie Louise was upset and distracted in 1875, mostly over very serious difficulties Henry was having out in Colorado. Simultaneous with her correspondence with Ingram, Marie learned that Henry had been caught in a swindling con in Denver and tried on a charge of adultery with his partner in the con, a married woman; both were serving jail sentences. Marie may have not yet learned that she was the grandmother of a one-year old son. In her last letter to Ingram, a man she had come to trust with some of her most heartfelt memories, she summoned up a mother's warmth and hope against a grim reality of Henry's predicament. "I am glad you like my son," she wrote to Ingram; "The dear boy has had a sad experience. . . . Misfortune and depressing care had ever followed my beautiful boy-and now he seems struggling in what he calls 'hard luck' harder than ever it seems to me. He tries to cheer me 'that it wont always be so,' but I have a presentament that his fate will never change although I don't tell him so-and I know he is more like me than any of the rest and my faults as well as other qualities he inherits 'carries his heart upon his sleeve.' &c. I have a great pity for him on this account." Henry's prospects indeed got far worse in 1876, when he came home to Flushing, bringing his newly pregnant partner in adultery and the toddler son, and the woman died under mysterious circumstances while under Marie Louise's medical care"4

BiographyMrs. Shew (Mary Louisa Barney) was a freethinker and by no means conventional. In 1850 she divorced Dr. Shew and married another hydropath, Dr. Roland S. Houghton, but not before she gave birth to a child in 1849. Quite likely the father of the child, Henry Chapin Houghton, was Henry Chapin, an older and wealthy man who lived with the Shews and later the Houghtons.

However, it was this son Henry who proved to be the catalyst that brought Mrs. Shew Houghton serious trouble. After a varied and exciting career out west where he was charged with adultery, mule thievery, swindling, and “open and notorious lewdness,” Henry Houghton returned to the family home in New York, bringing with him his mistress, a Mary E. Stanley, who had evidently been Henry’s partner in crime as well. With them was a toddler who was understood to have been their child, even though Mary was at the time married to another man.

Residence: He lived on 18 September 1888 at Park Dale, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Henry is listed with this address in the estate of his grandfather Dr Lowery Barney in an announcement in the Jefferson Co. Journal.28
Note: On 25 September 1888, at Jefferson County Surrogates Office, Watertown, Jefferson Co., NY. "LaMorte Barney, Elva P. Barney, Kate L. Whitney, Mary S Houghton, Frank M Kilby as administrator of the estate of Fromundus Barney, deceased, all of Henderson, Jefferson County, NY. Daniel L Barney of Nunda, McHenry County, Illinois, Frank Houghton of Buffalo, Erie County, NY, Henry Houghton of Park Dale, Toronto, Canada, Dora H Wiley of Babylon, Suffolk Co, NY, Stephen Bartles of Brooklyn, NY, Charles Bartles, Bessie Bartles, & Lucy Bartles, severally of St Paul, Ramsey Co, Minnesota...to attend the final judicial settlement of the account of the proceedings of Elva P & LaMorte Barney as the executors of the estate of Lowery Barney..."28
Census: He appeared on the census of 31 March 1901 at Vaughan Twp., Thornhill Village, West York, Ontario, Canada. Henry is listed as a Hotel keeper (age 52), living with wife Mary & son Francis. Indexed as "Honey" Houghton, he lists his date of birth as Apr 14, 1849.29
Note: . Buffalo described a retirement party for someone in the RR business, and Henry and Frank R. Houghton were on the guest list and the two were singled out for providing spirited vocal music to salute the man who was leaving.

In addition, during her two terms as Presiding Judge, Judge Bruner worked for the establishment of a designated domestic violence court, and presided over 56 jury trials in the first year of the court.

Judge Bruner has been active in professional and community organizations. She currently serves on the Executive Council for the Criminal La w Section of the CBA, the Judicial Discipline Commission, the State Probation Advisory Committee, the Adams County Volunteer Probation Board, and as a mentor judge for the Ne w Judge Mentoring Program and has served on the Colorado Supreme Court Criminal Rules Committee. She is a member of the Adams-Broomfield County Bar Association, the Colorado Women’s Bar Association, and the Colorado Bar Association. In 1995, she received the Ed Towey Award for “outstanding and caring service to victims of crime in Adams County”. She has dedicated countless hours to coaching and judging mock trial competitions and mentoring students at all levels. She volunteers for Rocky Mountain PBS, Ecumenical Refugee Services, and the Brighton Sisters Cities program. She has participated in community races for the American Cancer Society, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
