Biography Derl Houghton:
* Christening: 7 Jun 1885
* Education: 1909, Member of the first graduating class of Woodward High School, Woodward IA.
* Occupation: Teacher, telephone operator, farm housewife. Also served as railroad depot agent and telegrapher for Milwaukee Road, served as postmaster and telephone operator in Bouton, Dallas,Co, IA
* Religion: Methodist, Lutheran Church, Belmont, WI.
* Residence: Houghton Farm, 1 mi. south of Woodward IA.
* HEINRICH LOUIS AUGUST KRASCHE: Born Heinrich Louis August Krasche in 1884, but known through most of his life as August Louis Henry Krasche, nicknamed "Gus". He was the first of Friedrich Christian August Krasche's children to be born in the U.S., his next oldest sibling having been born in Germany in 1882. Details of most of his early life are unknown, including when and why he came to the area of Woodward IA. He met his wife- to- be, Jessie Houghton, while he was a telephone operator in Bouton IA. Jessie was a telephone operator in Woodward IA. and the met after talking frequently as operators. Gus farmed what is known as the "Houghton Farm" 1 mile south of Woodward IA. for many years, and died of a heart attack while plowing his field preparing for spring planting. He was found on his tractor, which he had shut off during the heart attack. He was a happy man who loved to watch wrestling on TV with several of his friends who faithfully gathered in his house for the weekly telecast. He kept one cow, "Bessie", a Guernsey milk cow. He rented the Houghton Farm most of his later years, having lost the deed during the depression due to his inability to repay on time a loan of a few hundred dollars. One often-told story was his finding an albino horned owl, which he sold to the White Owl cigar company as an advertising device for "a nice sum of money".⁵
