Biography

Auburn Courier, 8 Jan 1891: Among permanent settlers in the village of Auburn, was O. C. Houghton and family from New York. He bought the lots now owned by his widow and built a log house upon the rear part of them, calculating that with time would come the means to erect a better habitation nearer the street, and the present structure shows how he realized his purpose. He was a carpenter and besides other work, built Pyne's and Puffenberger's stores. A company was formed in 1857 and built the seam mill in the south end of town. The company failed and disposed of the property to Wesley Park and others who in turn sold to Houghton, who was successful, accumulated quite a sum for those times and sold the Sheets brothers by whom the mill was run for some years at fair profit. With his money, Mr. Houghton bought one hundred acres of good land of a Weaver, one mile mile west of town, lived there till his death when the family came to town.

DeKalb Co. IN Hx: In 1843, O. C. Houghton and family of New York, came to the settlement, and Houghton bought the steam mill owned by Wesley Park...This year is noted on account of the terrific hurricane which swept over DeKalb county...⁸
