ObituaryFeb 22, 1981New York, New York Co., NY, USA, New York Times, The (NY) - February 22, 1981
Deceased Name: AMORY HOUGHTON OF CORNING GLASS WORKS --Amory Houghton, chairman emeritus of the Corning Glass Works and former United States Ambassador to France, died yesterday at the Medical University Hospital in Charleston, S.C. He was 81 years old and was a resident of Corning, N.Y.
Mr. Houghton served as Ambassador to France from 1957 to 1961 during the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The French Government subsequently awarded him the insignia of the Grand Croix of the Legion of Honor.
Mr. Houghton devoted his entire business career to the glass works, which has its headquarters in Corning, and was the fourth generation of his family associated with it. The concern traces its founding to a glass company established in 1851 by his great-grandfather, whose name was also Amory Houghton.
After serving in various positions with the company, he was elected president in 1930, board chairman in 1941, chairman of the executive committee in 1961 and chairman emeritus in 1971. Even in the early Depression years, when Corning's sales were falling, it maintained a profit under his management.Championed Basic Research
Mr. Houghton was strongly committed to basic research as the prime source of growth. One such project was the development of a method to produce glass blocks in collaboration with Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company in 1937 that resulted in the formation of Pittsburgh Corning Corporation.
Another advance was the development of a method to produce glass fibers that led to the formation of the Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation in association with the Owens-Illinois Glass Company in 1938. Corning's commercial production of silicones resulted in an association with the Dow Chemical Company in 1943 and the formation of the Dow Corning Corporation.
Mr. Houghton's Government career began in 1941, when he was appointed assistant deputy director of the materials division, Office of Production Management. In 1942, he was named deputy chief of the War Production Board's bureau of industry branches, and in 1943-44 he was chief mission officer for the Lend-Lease Administration. In each of those positions, he served for $1 a year.
In his work for the Lend-Lease Administration, he was based in London and was charged with expediting the flow of war materials to Britain and the European battlefront. A Graduate of Harvard
Mr. Houghton, who was born in Corning, attended St. Paul's School in Concord, N.H., and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1921. In that year, he married Laura DeKay Richardson of Providence, R.I., who survives.
When the glass works observed the centennial of its founding in 1951, Mr. Houghton initiated construction of the Corning Glass Center, a multipurpose building dedicated to the history, art and science of glassmaking. He also was the founder of the Corning Museum of Glass.
He had a lifelong interest in the Boy Scouts of America and served as its national president from 1946 to 1951. He was on the board of overseers of Harvard University and was a trustee of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, N.J., and a trustee of Eisenhower College in Seneca Falls, N.Y.
Besides his wife, he is survived by three sons, Amory Jr. and James R., both of Corning, and Alanson B. 2d of New York City; two daughters, Elizabeth Weinberg of Greenwich, Conn., and Laura Beer of New York City; a sister, Mrs. Glen W. Cole of New York City; 18 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
A funeral service will be held Tuesday at 11 A.M. at Christ Episcopal Church in Corning. A memorial service will be held in Manhattan at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth Avenue and 90th Street, Thursday at 4:30 P.M.
