Letter

Dec 20, 1922

Wellington, OH, USA, MLM: "Note: Mark Howard Houghton's first letter to JWH, Wellington, O., brought this reply from his dau. Josie, Dated Dec. 20, 1922:..."I forgot to mention that the Houghton Genealogy contains all the Houghtons from 1665 that is known of the early Houghtons from the time of their settlement in Massachusetts, 1645. It is on that account a valuable book, and as such will never be published again, because the cost of securing the records of the individuals, no such publication will ever again be attempted. The records of the early families are so complete, that if they can trace their record back three or four generations, a connection can be found in a family...(break in paper), and in thirty instances I have not failed in more than three to connect with the family tree. Father tries to write this, but he is too sick..."

The first answer, same date: "Your letter received a few days ago. Father has been hard sick and is so weak now he cannot sit up long at a time. When family records has not been complete, he has to send them items, and he printed lists in order they should go, then gummed edge and stuck sheet in the proper place in the book. By using thin paper that has worked fine. It does not seem as though it would be worth while for any one else to attempt to get up another book. Father lost a lot of money in his attempt. You would be surprised at how few people are interested in their family history. Father says you better order a book from him for ten dollars, than print or have someone type on sheets like I said, and stick them in place. Mother died a year ago and over, Father is so sick every little while, it would not be certain about our making a like like you would want. He is past eighty-eight.
Hoping this letter will be of service to you, I am,
Sincerely,
/s./ Josephine Houghton.

Wellington, O., Dec. 20, 1922

P.S. Father has used two books to put added material in. He would like a record of your family to add."

A follow up letter was returned, "unknown." Tho it was addressed to "The Heirs and/or relatives of Josie W. Houghton, Wellington, Ohio."^4,5
