ObituaryDec 30, 1935Bellingham, Whatcom Co., WA, USA, HOUGHTON, Joseph S. (d. 1935)

Friend of labor and civic betterment, Joseph S. Houghton has been called to his last reward. Veteran employe of the Bellingham Publishing Company, four time president of the Bellingham Central Labor Council and known affectionately to thousands through-out the city and Northwest as "Joe," he passed away at a local hospital early Sunday morning. Death eased an illness that had stricken him late in November.
A printer by trade, probably one of the most widely known and beloved men in the city, numbering his friends in virtually all vocations of life. Funeral services will be conducted by Chaplain James M. Wilson and officers of Elk's Lodge No. 194, Tuesday at 4 p. m., at the Harlow-Hollingsworth funeral home. Cremation will follow.
Mr. Houghton was born at San Francisco, Cal., on April 30, 1869, and at the time of his death was 66 years of age. He first came to Washington when it was a territory in 1877, launching himself into the printing trade. He was employed in various newspaper plants and printing offices from that time until he gained employment with the Bellingham Publishing Company in 1904 and remained an employe of the company until his death. Except for about six years spent in British Columbia, he had lived on Puget Sound since 1882. In his boyhood days, Mr. Houghton went to school until he was 11 years of age and from that time on he obtained his education in the school of hard knocks.
His interest in organized labor began forty-six years ago when he joined the Tacoma Typographical Union and from that day to the present he has always carried a union card. Mr. Houghton was first elevated to the presidency of the Bellingham Central Labor Council in 1930 and was retained in office for four years before he voluntarily retired. He was also a past president of the local Typographical union. For a number of years he has been a co-publisher of the Labor World with F. C. Holt, Sr., and in that publication he carried his fight in behalf of organized labor and the working man. In 1932 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the state legislature being defeated in the Democratic landslide.
Mr. Houghton was actively identified in the development of Lake Samish as a summer resort and was largely responsible for the development of Summerland on the south side of the lake. Aways interested in boys, Mr. Houghton donated three acres at Summerland several years ago as a site for a Boy Scout camp. The Scouts built a cabin there and it is planned by the Mount Baker area to make a greater use of the camp this year. His fraternal affiliations were with the Elk's lodge here.
Immediate survivors include the widow, Margaret; four daughters, Mrs. Walter Gerson of Entiat; Mrs. John Griffith, of Alger; Mrs. Royal Young and Jeanne Houghton, of Bellingham; and two brothers, Frank T., Olympia and T. L. Houghton, Tacoma; one sister, Mrs. Ray Frieland, White Swan, Wash., and six grandchildren.
