Biography"History of Worcester and Its People" by Charles Nutt; Volume 3
" Lawyer, assistant register of probate, 1914 to 1917, was born in Worcester, Feb. 17, 1879, son of Herbert Orin and Carrie Louise (Stockwell) Houghton. His father was born in Clinton, Oct. 22, 1850, now living in Worcester, and in the employ of the Drew, Allis Company, directory publishers; married Carrie Louise Stockwell, born at Grafton. They have 4 other children: Mabel S; Cecile F., graduate of Wellesley College, librarian in charge of the Carnegie branch of the Free Public Library, Quinsigamond; Louis H., now with the New England Telephone Company, married Edna Stone, and has 1 child, Winthrop; Louise M., graduate of the Worcester State Normal School, a teacher in Shrewsbury. Stillman Houghton, father of Herbert O. Houghton, was born at Harvard, Mass., was a manufacturer, married Mercy R. Wetherbee and had 2 children; Herbert O. and Lilla B. who married Albert C. Marble, of Worcester.
The Houghtons have been numerous and prominent in this county, especially in the old town of Lancaster, of which they were among the founders. Ralph and John Houghton, believed to be cousins, born in England, both settled there. Ralph Houghton was in Lancaster in 1647 and one of the six founders, the first town clerk, deputy to the General Court from 1673 to 1689. Seven generations of Houghtons were born in that house that he built there. John Houghton removed from Dedham where he settled in 1635, and located in Lancaster about 1663.
Arthur S. Houghton received his early education in the Worcester public schools, graduating from the English High School in 1898. He then entered Dartmouth College, graduating with the degree of B. L. in 1902, and being made a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. He became a student in the Harvard Law School the following year and was graduated in 1905 with the degree of Bachelor of Laws. He immediately engaged in the practice of law in Worcester and continued until Jan. 1, 1914, when he was appointed assistant register of probate by the judge. He resigned in November of 1917, and has returned to the practice of law here, being associated with the firm of Thayer, Smith & Gaskill. Their offices are at No. 509 State Mutual building, Worcester. He collaborated with Edwin G. Norman in compiling the work entitled " Massachusetts Trial Evidence in 1911". This work is used extensively in the courts and by lawyers and is now in the second printing. In politics he is a Republican. He is a member of Morning Star Lodge, Anciet Free & Accepted Masons, and was master in 1914 & 1915. He is also a member of Iroquios Tribe, Improved Order of Red Men, of which he has been the Sachem, member of the Barristers Club and the Dartmouth Club. For the past 8 years he has been treasurer of the society of Plymouth Congregational Church.
Mr. Houghton married in Slatington, Penn., Aug. 17, 1913, Beryl W. Weygandt, who was born in that town, daughter of John and Jennie Weygandt. They have 1 child, Doris Weygandt Houghton, born in Worcester, Jan. 8, 1916.6
