Men of Progress:
Houghton, Charles Elmer, North Bennington, was born in Rowe, Franklin county, Massachusetts, March 10, 1818, and died May 12 1890. He was the son of Jonathan and Melinda (McLeod) Houghton, his ancestry being English on his father's side and Scotch on his mother's. His early educational training was received in the common schools. He could almost be styled a self-educated man, for he was always particularly interested in scientific subjects, studying them at every opportunity. Mr Houghton was one of the best known men, not only in his own county, but in the state as well. He had the executive ability of a successful business man, was a keen reader of men, and held the leadership among his fellows because of certain characteristics which he possessed to an eminent degree. He had his own way to make in life, yet he found time to devote to public enterprises and, like the typical Vermonter, early acquired traits of perseverance that won for him place and honor in the commonwealth, as well as a competence. He entered mercantile life in Shaftsbury, in 1841, with his brother, the late J. C. Houghton. In 1855, leaving the fine business that the two had jointly built up to the junior brother, he removed to North Bennington, where he engaged in commerical enterprise with his younger brother, R. L. Houghton. Subsequently he took the whole concern and carrie it on until 1863, when he associated with it his son, Edmund C., to whom he sold out in 1865 to give his attention to his duties as Vice-president and Manager of the First National Bank of North Bennington, which had recently been organized; the office of Vice-President he held until his death. He had held official connection with four Bennington banks, and was the trusted assoicate of a company of solid business men. At the time of his death he was the Treasurer of the Bennington and Rutland Railroad Company and for many years was on the Board of Directors. He had also been actively connected with several large paper mills in the section. Early in life Mr. Houghton served on the regimental commander's staff. He had represented the town of Shaftsbury in the Legislature, and had slso held the offices of Assistant Judge, Constable, Selectman, Lister and Postmaster while a resident of that place. For two terms he was a member of the State Senate, and took a leading position there. He was a Presidential Elector in 1876, was for six years a Director of the State Prison, had been County Treasureer, and member of the Republican State and County Committees. He was active in Masonry, belonging to the Lodge and the Commandery. He was also a member of the committee of the Gennington Historical Society who prepared the bill in 1876 which afterward became the charter of the Bennington Battle Monument Association. On November 1, 1838, he married Mary E. Hutchins, who survives him, with to children: Edmund C. and Helen C. Houghton 9now Mrs. Hiram Cole.)3,10,5,26

BiographyEDMUND C. HOUGHTON.
Edmund C. Houghton, deceased, son of Charles Elmer and AJary Houghton, entered upon the active duties of life as a merchant, and pursued
that vocation for a number of years in Arlington, Vermont. He faithfully served in several town offices, was elected several terms as
selectman, and was frequently called upon to occupy different offices in the village corporation, and acted in the capacity of graded school
trustee. So conscientiously did he perform his duties that he won the approval and approbation of his constituents. Mr. Houghton was a very prominent figure in Masonic circles, and he held successively the various offices, until several years since he lacked but a few votes of being elected grand master
of the state of Vermont. He was several times master of Tucker Lodge No. 48, deputy grand master of Grand Lodge and past eminent commander
of Taft Commandery. Mr. Houghton was twice married, his first wife having been AJiss Alice McKee, of Winfield, New York. One daughter, Alary, was born to them, but she died when nearly sixteen years of age, and was interred beside her mother, who had previously passed away. In 1882 Mr. Houghton
married Mrs. Anson Canfield. of Arlington. They resided in that city until about three years ago, when Air. Houghton's health began to fail,
and he went west to the state of Washington, and from there to southern California in the hopes of recuperating his lost strength, but all
was of no avail, and his death occurred in Pasadena, California. Charles Elmer Houghton, the father of Edmund C, was born in Rowe, Franklin county,
Massachusetts. March 10, 1S18, and died Mlay 12, 1890. He ivas the son of Jonathan and Melinda (McLeod) Houghton, his ancestry being English
on his father's side and Scotch on his mother's. His early educational training was received in the common schools. He could almost be styled a self-educated man, for he was always particularly interested in scientific subjects, studying them at every opportunity. Mr. Houghton was one of the best known men, not only in his own county, but in the state as well. He had the executive ability of a successful business man, was a keen reader of men, and held the leadership among his fellows because of certain characteristics which he possessed to an eminent degree. He had his own way to make in life, yet he found time to devote to public enterprises, and, like the typical Vermonter, early acquired traits of perseverance that won for him place and honor in the commonwealth, as well as a competence. He entered mercantile life in Shaftsbury, in 1841, with his brother, the late J. C. Houghton. In 1855, leaving the fine business that the two had jointly built to the junior brother, he removed to North Bennington, where he engaged in commercial
enterprise with his younger brother, R. L. Houghton. Subsequently he took the whole concern and carried it on until 1863, when he associated
with it his son, Edmund C, to whom he sold out in 1865, in order to give his attention to his duties as vice-president and manager of the First
National Bank of North Bennington, which had recently been organized; the office of vice-president he held until his death. He had held official
connection with four Bennington banks, and was the trusted associate of a company of solid business men. At the time of his death he was the
treasurer of the Bennington and Rutland Railroad Company, and for many years was on the board of directors. He had also been actively
connected with several large paper mills in that section. Early in life Mr. Houghton served on the regimental commander's staff. He had represented
the town of Shaftsbnry in the legislature, and had also held the offices of assistant judge, constable, selectman, lister and postmaster while
a resident of that place. For two terms he was a member of the state senate, and took a leading position there. He was a presidential elector
in 1876. was for six years a director of the state prison, had been county treasurer, and member of the Republican state and county committees.
He was active in Mlasonry, belonging to the lodge and the commandery. He was also a member of the committee of the Bennington Historical Society
which prepared the bill in 1876 which afterward became the charter of the Bennington Battle Monument Association. On November 1, 1838, he married Alary E. Hutchins, who survived him, with two children: Edmund C. and Helen C. Houghton (Now Mrs. Cole.)11
