G. N. HOUGHTON ANSWERD SUMMONS
Pioneer Settler in Elkland Township
Member of Family in Which Six Served in the War of the Rebellion
George N. Houghton, a pioneer settler of this section, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Maynard Delong, in this city on Friday, Dec. 15, at the age of 75 years.
He was born in the Township of Shaftsbury, Bennington county, Vermont, on Nov. 15, 1836. He was a resident of the State of New York when the War of the Rebellion broke out and enlisted in a New York regiment of infantry. He was honorably discharged for disabilities contracted in the service.
Mr. Houghton belonged to a family which was very active in the anti-slavery movement. His father and four brothers, besides himself, were members of the Union army in the Civil War, some of them serving all the four years of the struggles.
In 1864 Mr. Houghton was united in marriage with Miss Sarah Tinney, a daughter of a Genessee county (Mich.), clergyman. They came to Elkland township about the year 1871, taking up a homestead in the northeastern part of the township. Later they moved to Novesta township, and while there, Mr. Houghton conducted a large saw mill for several years on his farm, 3 miles south and 1/2 mile west of Cass City. Here they have lived until a few months ago, when Mr. Houghton's severe illness made it advisable for them to live with their daughter in this city.
Mr. Houghton has been afflicted with cancer for a period of 15 years, the last 10 years of which the disease has been of a serious nature. Cancer of the stomach was the cause of death.
The funeral was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Delong on Monday afternoon. Rev. W. B. Weaver, pastor of the M. E. church, officiating. Besides his wife, the deceased is survived by three sons, Edward of Lewiston, Wm. of Ellington township, and Chas. of Everett, Wash., one daughter, Mrs. Maynard Delong, and five brothers, A. G. and D. M. Houghton of this city, Wm. Houghton of Washington, Elias Houghton of Holly, and Harvey Houghton of Lewiston.6

On Friday, A. G. Houghton and wife of Cass City and their son, Clarence of Ruth, D. M. Houghton of Cass City and G. N. Houghton and Mrs. Almeda M. Warner of Novesta all went to Ortonville, Oakland county, to attend the funeral of an elder brother, Jas. M. Houghton. Roy, son of A. G. Houghton, and Lew, son of D. M. Houghton, both of Detroit, met their parents at Ortonville to pay the last respects to their uncle. There were present four brothers, one sister, four daughters, and many other near relatives, besides a host of friends made during his 45 years' residence on a farm near Ortonville. He settled there in the early days, cleared up and operated the farm until a few years ago, having retired on account of old age to Pontiac where he passed away on the 13th. He buried his wife less than a year ago. Mr. Houghton attended the funeral of a younger sister ten days before his death.13
