BiographyMrs. Hiram Cole Houghton combines the talents of a small town homemaker with the leadership qualities which placed her at the head of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, 1950-52. She is noted as an orator and her magnetic personality has endeared her to millions of women in this county and abroad.



She has been interested in the welfare of her town and state and has served actively on many boards and associations of both.



She has received honorary degrees from Coe College, Tarkio College, and American University, Washington, D. C. -- the first woman to receive an honorary degree from this University. In 1952 the decoration of the Order of Orange Nassau was bestowed upon her by Her Majesty, Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. She was honored by the Colorado Federation when 500 trees were planted in her honor in the Federation Forest.



In 1953 she was appointed by President Eisenhower as Assistant Administrator to Mr. Harold Stassen in the Mutual Security Administration in charge of Refugees and Migration.



Through her work in this job and in the General Federation Mrs. Houghton has proven that although she was born and brought up in a small town, in the land of opportunity, she is an example of what an American can accomplish.
