Sep 27, 1995

Boston, Suffolk Co., MA, USA, Boston Globe, The (MA) - September 27, 1995
Deceased Name: WILLIAM HOUGHTON, 96; ENGINEER WORKED IN FOUNDRY, SALES, SCHOOL
A memorial service will be held Friday for William M. Houghton of Bedford, a Harvard-educated engineer who was a foundry worker and oil burner salesman before becoming a researcher at United Shoe Machinery Co. in Beverly. Mr. Houghton died of congestive heart failure Sept. 18 in Emerson Hospital in Concord at the age of 96.

He was born in Manchester-by-the-Sea. "From the time when I was a boy and liked more than anything to make things with my hands, I expected to grow up and be some sort of engineer," Mr. Houghton wrote in the 50th anniversary report of his Harvard class of 1922. "I expected to be president some day, if not of the United States, then at least of some company, General Motors, say."

After graduation, he spent a summer in Europe, "thereby putting off until the fall the day when I would have to give up those pleasant long summer vacations and my sheltered silver-spoon-in-the mouth adolescence and get down to the business of finding out what life was really all about."

He entered the apprenticeship program of the Bucyrus Erie Co. and became a "helper's helper," shoveling sand in the firm's Milwaukee foundry. "Yes, life definitely had changed," he wrote.

He later helped assemble a huge strip mine shovel for the company in the Southern Illinois coal fields, before leaving Bucyrus to come "back East," where he was an engineering instructor at Harvard University before joining the Armstrong Cork Co. in Lancaster, Pa.

The Depression years were tough on him. "In 1932, the specter of unemployment, which had been breathing down my neck for years, tapped me on the shoulder," he wrote. "The boss called me in his office and wept on my shoulder."

He returned to Boston, where he was co-owner of a school that trained mechanics for diesel trucks. Later he joined the Gilbert and Barker Co., a manufacturer of boilers in Springfield, where, in 1938, "once again my shoulder was wept on and my livelihood cut off," he wrote.

For a time, he sold the company's oil burners door-to-door on a commission basis, but, "though sometimes interesting," he wrote, selling "was highly distasteful to me and most unprofitable.

"In middle age it dawned on me (1) I wasn't going to be president, and (2) more importantly. I didn't want to be," he wrote in the 25th anniversary report of his class at Harvard.

He became an engineer in the research department of United Shoe Machinery Co., in Beverly until his retirement in 1964.

An avid sailor, he was a longtime resident of Marblehead, where he wrote:

"From my desk I can see most of the harbor, a brilliant blue between its snow-covered banks. One small sailboat drives down it before the wind, her skipper, probably half-frozen, but happy. We find sailing fascinating too, but not that fascinating."

He leaves his wife, Elizabeth B. (Richards); three daughters, Martha H. Starr of Washington, Audrey H. Duane of Dalton, N.H., and Jane H. Stephenson of Marblehead; 12 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

The memorial service will be held at 10:30 a.m. in the chapel at Carleton- Willard Village in Bedford. Burial is private.

Dear Dr. Vella,

I write to request your assistance in the matter of a painting on extended loan to the Davis Museum at Wellesley College.

The painting, by the artist Frederick Porter Vinton (1846-1911), is a portrait of William Stevens Houghton who was a trustee of Wellesley College (in whose memory his children Elizabeth Goodrich Houghton and Clement Stevens Houghton named Houghton Chapel, dedicated in 1999 and which still stands on campus).

The painting was loaned to Wellesley in 1992 by one William M. Houghton—long prior to my arrival at the Davis.

Wellesley College has prioritized the renovation of the Davis Museum's HVAC system, a key mechanical tool that supports the safe stewardship of our collections for posterity. The building will close on December 18, 2022 for construction and reopen in early February 2024.

During this closure period, our facilities and collections will be inaccessible; most of our holdings will be removed to off-site storage. We must abide by the requirements of our insurer and resolve all extended loans. I am trying to locate the donor, William M. Hougton, or a lineal descendent to him, to resolve the matters of ownership and disposition. Are you able to help?

Thanks very much,
Lisa Fischman
