CABOT, VT - Grace W. Houghton, 86, a long-time Cabot resident, died Monday, April 3, 2006, at the Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin, where she had made her home since June 2005.

She was born March 13, 1920, in Marshfield, the daughter of the late Fred and Florence (Sprague) Wheeler. She attended Cabot public schools and graduated from Cabot High School in the class of 1938. She later graduated from Lyndon Normal School in Lyndonville.

On Sept. 25, 1941, she married Elliot Caroll Houghton in Springfield, Mass.
