John R. Houghton of Bath, Me., Grieved Over Death of W. H. Lillie, Aviator
Boston, Oct. 3. -- The death of his old pal, W. Hamilton Lillie of Newton, a World War aviator, whose body was recovered off Westport, N. S., last Summer, is believed to have been the motive for the suicide of John Reeed Houghton, a prominent Bath (Me.) shipbuilder, who leaped overboard from the steamship Boston en route to New York last Wednesday night. Raymond Trott of Providence, R. I., a brother-in-law of Houghton, said at Police Headquarters tonight that he attributed Houghton's act to the death of Lillie, who was a close friend. Mr. Trott said that Houghton was wealthy, had everything to live for and he could assign no other reason for the suicide. The disappearance of Houghton was reported to the Boston police by the boat line officials.5

BiographyChautauqua Co. NY Hx: "Henry R. Houghton--Prominent among the successful farmers of Chautauqua county, N. Y., is Henry R. Houghton, born in Lewis county, N. Y., April, 24, 1849, the son of Thomas Bennett and Elizabeth (Lamphier) Houghton, both old and highly respected residents of that region, where the elder Houghton followed the trade of painter, later turning his attention to farming.
Henry R. Houghton received his education in the district schools of his native place, but was forced to leave school at the age of fifteen years in order to help his family, who were left without support about that time. His father had enlisted in the Union army, in the Civil War, and there gave his life for his country, and his son took up the burden of caring for the family. In 1863, Mr. Houghton came to Ripley and began his life as a farmer, and has now one of the most prosperous and flourishing farms in this region. Mr. Houghton is prominent in social and fraternal cricles here, being a member of the local lodge of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and the Scottish Rite bodies of this place. He is also past noble grand of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and a member of the encampment as well as the local grange. He is a staunch supporter of the Republican party, and although he has never been desirous of holding public office has taken an intelligent and active interest in local public affairs as well as in the nation-at-large. He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church."
