DEAR CHARLIE,

MY NAME IS LARRY CLARK ELDERKIN AND I AM A GREAT NEPHEW OF VANDON ROLAND HOUGHTON AND MABEL PEARL RYEL. MY FAMILY HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR THEM FOR MANY YEARS. I HAVE A TWIN SISTER NAMED LEEILA JEAN ELDERKIN LEWIS AND HER E-MAIL ADDRESS IS leeila.lewis@clover2044.cs.com
WE RECENTLY MADE CALLS TO THE FUNERAL HOME IN SAINT HELENS, OREGON, WHERE UNCLE VANDON AND AUNT MABEL LIVED AND PASSED AWAY. I REMEMBER HIM CUTTING MY HAIR WHEN I WENT TO VISIT HIM IN SAINT HELENS. HIS WIFE, MABEL PEARL RYEL HOUGHTON IS MY GRANDMOTHER'S SISTER. HER NAME IS GERTRUDE REBECCA RYEL BRADSHAW.
IN TALKING WITH THE FUNERAL HOME, WE SPOKE WITH A LADY NAMED AMY, WHO TOLD US THAT UNCLE VANDON WAS BORN ON FEBRUARY 2, 1878 IN FAIRBURY, JEFFERSON COUNTY, NEBRASKA. THEY FURTHERMORE INFORMED ME THAT HE WAS BURIED IN WINLOCK, WASHINGTON, A NAME MY MOTHER TOLD ME NEVER TO FORGET.
UPON TALKING TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE FUNERAL IN WINLOCK, WASHINGTON, WE WALKED THROUGH THE CEMETARY AND FOUND THE HEADSTONES OF CLARENCE HOUGHTON, WHO WAS PROBABLY NAMED AFTER JOHN C. HOUGHTON, HUSBAND OF ANNA HOUGHTON. WE ARE BUSY RESEARCHING THE INFORMAITON AVAILABLE THROUGH THE OREGON STATE BOARD OF HEALTH AND ALSO THE WASHINGTON STATE BOARD OF HEALTH, TO OBTAIN ALL OF THE INFORMATION WE CAN GLEAN FROM THE RECORDS THERE.
ALSO NEXT TO CLARENCE HOUGHTON, WHO ONLY LIVED TO BE FOUR YEARS, WAS A YOUNG LADY THAT ONLY LIVED TO BE TEN YEARS OLD. HER HAME IS BERNICE HOUGHTON. SHE WAS BORN IN 1916 AND PASSED AWAY IN 1926. I HAVE HEARD THE FAMILY MENTION HER NAME ON MANY OCCASIONS AND ALSO HEARD THAT SHE DIED OF DIABETES.
THERE IS A HEADSTONE NEXT TO HERS THAT HAD A LOT OF MOSS GROWING ON IT AND WHEN WE SCRAPED THE MOSS OFF, WE FOUND NO WRITING. AFTER SPEAKING WITH JEFF AT CATTERMOLE FUNERAL HOME, HE SAID HE HAD NO RECORD OF VANDON'S BURIAL THERE. THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER SPACE THAT COULD BE ONE FOR MABEL HOUGHTON.
HIS BROTHER, ORVILLE AND HIS WIFE ARE BURIED IN A LITTLE TOWN, JUST A FEW MILES AWAY CALLED TOLEDO, WASHINGTON. WE ARE BUSY GETTING PHOTOS OF THE HEADSTONES WITH THE ACCOMPANYING DATES, ETC. WE SHALL BE HAPPY TO SEND YOU PHOTOS IF YOU WISH. MY E-MAIL ADDRESS IS lcelder@internetcds.com PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR ADDRESS BOOK AND FEEL FREE TO WRITE TO ME AT ANY TIME.
WE HAVE ALSO BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CELESTE CHANDLER CONCERNING THE FAMILY. UNCLE VANDON WAS NOT ONLY A BARBER, BUT WORKED IN THE FUNERAL HOME JUST THREE BLOCKS FROM HIS RESIDENCE. WE ALSO HAVE PHOTOS OF THIS BUILDING AND THE LOT WHERE UNCLE VANDON AND AUNT MABEL LIVED PRIOR TO THEIR PASSING.
JEFF TOLD US THAT IN THOSE DAYS, THE STATE BOARD OF HEALTH DIDN'T REQUIRE PERMITS TO TAKE PEOPLE FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER AND BURY THEM. I STILL THINK WE CAN TURN THE UNWRITTEN STONE OVER TO SEE WHO IS BURIED THERE. THEY ARE SIMPLE STONES WHICH WERE PROBABLY MADE IN SOMEONE'S BACK YARD.
THANKS FOR YOUR INFORMATION PROVIDING THE FATHER OF UNCLE VANDON, ETC. I HAVE IT PRINTED OUT FOR MY CONVENIENCE HERE AT HOME. MY TWIN SISTER HAS PHOTOS OF UNCLE VANDON AND AUNT MABEL TOGETHER. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WRITE HER AT ANY TIME.
I AM NOT SURE YET WHERE JOHN C. HOUGHTON WAS BURIED, BUT HE MUST HAVE DIED SOME TIME AROUND 1880 IN FAIRBURY, JEFFERSON COUNTY, NEBRASKA AND HIS WIFE ANNA WAS ONLY 30 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME AND PROBABLY REMARRIED.
WE HAVE COME ACROSS ANOTHER OF THEIR CHILDREN AND HER NAME IS SYBIL. I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE INFORMATION AS OF THIS WRITING. MY TWIN SISTER HAS THAT INFORMATION HANDY.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR DILIGENCE IN DOING WORK ON THE HOUGHTON LINE AND PLEASE KEEP ME POSTED AS TO ANY NEW DISCOVERIES YOU MAY ENCOUNTER. WE SHALL DO THE SAME HERE.

THANKS SO MUCH,

LARRY C. ELDERKIN

ResearchDon: my Grandmother said was that she had played with Katherine Houghton Hepburn (a first cousin-in law?) as a child and had gone to the same school. Was this in CT? I have also heard NY? I noted in one of your messages on Genforum you gave Katherine Houghton Hepburn's father and mother. If Florence was in fact a first cousin- in law that means that one of her father's brothers had to be the father of Edward Houghton whom she married.1
