BiographySTEPHEN B. HOUGHTON, a retired farmer of McLean County, is now a resident of Bloomington, occupying a handsome and commodious dwelling on East Front street, No. 609. He is one of the representative men of this locality who have worked their way up to an enviable position in the community and
acquired a competency through their own merits and by the exercise of industry and perseverance. He has been a resident of the Prairie State since
1845, and has watched its prosperity with the greatest satisfaction while at the same time he has contributed his share toward advancing it to its
present position among the commonwealths of the West.

Mr. Houghton is a native of Muskingum County, Ohio, and was born May 12, 1827. His parents were Richard and Sarah (Burkley) Houghton, na-
tives of Virginia, where they were reared and married, and whence they moved to Ohio in about 1825. There the father engaged in farming, but
twelve years later came with his family to Illinois, settling in Clark County, upon a farm which he had purchased. They lived there until 1860, and
thence removed to Bloomingtou, where they spent their declining years, the father dying in 1875, and the mother in 1866. Of their family of fifteen
children, eleven lived to become men and women and seven still survive. These are, Joseph. Stephen B., our subject; Samuel, Deba A., Elijah, Emily
and Mahala.

Stephen B. Houghton was reared on a farm and when old enough went out to work. He made his home with his parents until he was nineteen years
old and removed from Clark to McLean County in 1845. He was employed for a short time in a mill at Bloomington, then engaged as a farm laborer by
the month for six months, when he came to Bloomington and was employed at whatever his hands could find to do. He was finally employed by
Judge Davis to superintend the farm of the latter and was occupied four years. When he went there the Judge had one cow and one horse, and when
our subject left the farm it was supplied with large numbers of cattle and between fifty and sixty mares.

Mr. Houghton soon afterward purchased a farm in Normal Township. This consisted of seventy acres, which he cultivated for two years and then
removed to Jefferson County, Iowa. He there purchased 160 acres, and after remaining upon it eighteen months, returned to this county and pur-
chased ten acres, one and one-half miles south of the court-house square in Bloomington. He afterward added sixty acres and then traded his latter
purchase for the Mason farm of 180 acres. Sixyears later, in 1 873, he purchased the Walker farm consisting of 100 acres, and the following year two
flats on South Main street in Bloomington, upon which he built a dwelling. He purchased his present home in 1885. Besides the above he owns the old
home place of 160 acres, one and one-half miles south of the court-house.

Our subject was married in 1849 to Miss Vashti O. Sumner, who was the daughter of Caleb and Rachel (Farmer) Sumner, natives respectively of
New York and Virginia. They were married in Indiana, to which State both had been taken by their parents when quite young. Mr. S. after mar-
riage engaged in farming pursuits upon a tract of land which he had purchased in Coles County, 111., and which contained 160 acres. He sold this in
1849, and purchased another northeast of Bloomington, which he occupied two years and then re- moved into the city, where the mother died in
1861. Mr. Sumner then made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Houghton, until his death, in 1882. Three only of the seven children are now living
Alford, Mrs. Houghton and Horace. Our subject and his wife also became the parents of seven children, only three living. James married Miss
Lorinda Gardner and lives on the old homestead; Richard married Miss Katie Harmon and they have two children, Grace and Mabel; Alice L., now Mrs.
H. P. Hazel, has one son, Stephen B. Mr. Houghton is Republican in politics and with his wife is a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Cluirch. He gave $1,100 toward the erection of the church building and has always contributed liberally and cheerfully to the maintenance of the society.
