BiographyFairview, Caldwell Co., MO, USA, Caldwell Co. MO Hx: "Otis, James and Ira Houghton (Farmers and Stock-raisers, Post-office, Hamilton)
The names that head this sketch represent respectively father and sons, and though not all residents of this township, we have purposely combined the biographies of their lives, for their careers as agriculturists, both individually and collectively, have been almost inseparable; it will be seen at a glance, therefore, that this should be a family memoir. Otis Houghton, the father of James and Ira, was born in Jefferson county, N. Y., November 8, 1811, the son of Elijah and Lucy (Haskell) Houghton, both natives of Massachusetts. They had removed from Harvard, Worcester county, that State, to Jefferson county, N.Y., in 1810. Both the Houghtons and Haskells were of old Massachusetts families, and, doubtless, of English extraction. Elijah Houghton died in Leroy, Jefferson county, N. Y., in 1811, when Otis was but 3 months old. His mother subsequently married Mr. Francis Herrick, moving thence to Springfield, Otsego county, N. Y., where after living ten years, Mr. Herrick died. The family then returned to Antwerp, Jefferson county, the mother keeping house for Otis and an older brother, and he lived there until 17 years old, when he began working at the carpenter's trade, continuing it for some 12 years, and then resuming farming. June 13, 1841, he was married to Miss Elcy Sword, who was born in Jefferson county April 10, 1820. Her death occurred October 24, 1851, and on February 17, 1852, Miss Antha Holland became Mr. Houghton's second wife. She was born in England May 15, 1819, and died September 26, 1884, leaving two children, Sophia and Lucy. There were five children by the first union: James, Irving, Ira, Mary and George, two of whom died in youth. In the fall of 1866, Mr. Houghton came to Caldwell county, Mo., and located on section 6, of Fairview township, which has since been his home. This place is under good improvement and is being cultivated to the best possible advantage. In all his transactions Mr. Houghton has met with more than ordinary success. He at one time was the owner of a few small pots of land in differnet sections which he has disposed of for the accommodations of his neighbors. Of Republican proclivities, he is recognizeed as one of the best of the older citizens of the township and county...These three men, whose life history we have endeavored to briefly outline, all take a warm interest in the growth and development of the country, favoring every measure tending to benefit the good of the community. 'Tis needless to say that the influence which they exert is felt by all."

JWH: "He with his family moved to New York State in 1866, where he was still living in 1897, engaged in farming and stock raising." [CJV: error; should be MO, see Caldwell Co. HX]6,7

BiographyCaldwell Co. MO Hx: James Houghton, the eldest of the family of children by his father's first marriage, owes his nativity to Jefferson county, of the Empire State, where he first saw the light March 24, 1842. He remained upon the old homestead until reaching his majority, when, on starting out in life for himself, he worked as a farm laborer for some time, or until b economy and industry he had accumulated a little means. He came West in 1865 and the same year puchased 160 acres of land on section 1, in New York township; he was recognized as being among the first "Yankess" as he was called, to locate in Caldwell county after the war. As will be seen by comparing his present possessions to his original purchase, he has added other property, which has placed him among the substantial citizens, in a material point of view, in this comminity. january 20, 1875, Mr. Houghton was united in marriage with Miss Amy J. Hall, of Jefferson county, N.Y. She was born July 25, 1843. One daughter has been given them, Katie E. He votes the Republican ticket. In stock matters Mr. Houghton has risen to considerable prominence, for he has given no little attention to feeding cattle and hogs. With this branch of agriculture he is thoroughly familiar, and his excellent estate of 300 acres is well adapted to stock purposes. He has earned a well merited reputation for his success and complete knowledge of the buisness."4

BiographyFairview, Caldwell Co., MO, USA, Caldwell Co. MO Hx:
Ira Houghton is the third son of Otis and Elcy S. Houghton. His birth also occurred in Jefferson county, N.Y., the date being June 19, 1845. He, too, was brought up to a farm experience, an occupation which has been the principal source of his labor all during life. In youth he attended the common schools, where he closely applied himself to study, and in 1863 he became a member of Co. C, 20th New York cavalry, with which he remained until the close of the war. He was in a number of severe engagements. Returning to his old home, he resumed agricultrual pursuits and continued them until his removal to Caldwell county in 1866, where he has resided since that time. An adept in all matters pertaining to the successful management and conduct of farming and the shipping and handling of stock, he has acquired a handsome competence of 435 acres in sections 6 and 7, Fairview township, including the old homestead, and without flattery it may justly be said that no man deserves to a greater extent the good fortune which has attended Mr. Houghton's efforts. His marriage to Miss Annetta Kautz was consummated December 23, 1869. She was a native of Rising Sun, Ind., born February 16, 1847. This union has been blessed with seven children: Jessie, edith, George O., Ira A., Mary H., Elcy A. and Eugene. Politically Mr. H. is also a Republican; he is a worthy communicant of the Presbyterian Church.11
