Judge Houghton Dead

Mr. S. A. Shortridge on Wednesday received word from Sherman that Judge Houghton, whose serious illness we noted two weeks ago was worse and that he could scarcely survive through the night. Mr. Shortridge left for Sherman Wednesday evening.

Later - Judge Houghton died at six o'clock Wednesday evening. The end came painlessly and the good man passed over the river as peacefully as one falling to sleep, surrounded by his family and immediate neighbors. Mr. Shortridge arrived too late to see his aged friend alive.

Judge Houghton was a resident of Terrell for more than a dozen years being for a great portion of that time engaged in the hardware business. He was well known not only to the people of Kaufman County, but to the people of adjacent counties as well, and by them all was held in high esteem for his stanch integrity, sound business sense, and brusque and sturdy character. He was a splendid financier, always managing his vast property interests personally and in such a manner as to bring him liberal returns. Although having removed from Terrell several years ago he was still interested in a business way in the city, being a stockholder in the First National Bank.12
