After receiving his education in local schools he matriculated at the University of Michigan, from which he received his Ph. C. in 1893 and his M.D. in 1894. A recognized authority in his field, he was a lecturer at the Detroit College of Medicine from 1896 to 1901 and at the University of Michigan from 1902 to 1908.

He was married to his second wife, Alice Maude Whitehead, nine months before he died from cancer of the liver.

Among those in attendance at Dr. Houghton's funeral were his nephew Elmer D. Houghton of Antwerp, where Dr. Houghton retained possession of the homestead farm, which he visited several times a year.

After his graduation in 1893, he began practice in Ann Arbor and continued to pursue research at the University. In 1895, Parke-Davis hired Houghton and Charles McClintock to establish a biology research lab, with the aim of developing and producing an anti-toxin to diphtheria, then a major public health scourge. They succeeded within a few months, and Houghton remained as Director of Medical Research at Parke-Davis, as well as lecturing at Detroit Medical College and the University of Michigan. In 1905, Houghton moved into 680 Longfellow, one of the first homes in Boston-Edison, where he lived until the late 1930s.
