ResearchHistory of Wabasha County (MN), 1920
BiographyWabasha Co. Hx: He was the proprietor of Oakdale Stock Farm in section 26, Elgin Twp. He acquired his education in the village school, and at the age of 15 did farm labor in the vicinity, continuing to work on farms until 1902. He then obtained a position as clerk in the general store operated by Mrs. H. E. Gates in the
village of Elgin, and subsequently followed a mercantile career for 14 years, or until 1916. By that time he found that inside work did not agree with
him, and for the sake of his health, which was failing, he concluded to take up some branch of farming. He accordingly bought the Oakdale Stock farm of
240 acres in section 26, where he is now engaged in breeding Shorthorn cattle, high grade hogs, and Percheron horses, with profitable results. Mr.
Houghton was married February 12, 1908, to Flora S. Dunn, who was born and reared in her present residence. Mr. and Mrs. Houghton have four children:
Herold D. born June 23, 1909; Philip C., May 23, 1911; Helen L., May 10, 1913; and Dunn W., April 13, 1917. The older children are attending school
in the village. Mr. Houghton is a member of the Elgin Lodge, No. 115, A. F. & A. M., and both he and his wife belong to the Eastern Star and worship at the Methodist Episcopal church.7,8
