Hazlehurst - Arthur Ainslie Houghton, 86, who passed quietly on January 14, 2006 after a short illness.

He was born in West Woodstock, VT. He was the son of the late Earl Houghton and Verna Merril.

After graduating from High School he joined the conservation core. Prior to the outbreak of WW II, he enlisted in the U.S. Nay. He served on the aircraft carriers "USS Randolph" and the "USS Ranger" for six years as a chief machinist mate. He met and married Helen Ursrey, his lifelong companion, while on leave. He later continued his military career in the Army National Guard, achieving the rank of Captain.

After his discharge he attended college on the G.I. Bill, graduating from Mercer University and the New Orleans Theological Seminary. He pastored several southern churches, the largest being First Baptist in Saris, MS. and West End Baptist in Gadsden, AL.

He left the ministry in 1964 to begin a career with the GA. Dept. of Vocational Rehabilitation working in Savannah and later in Baxley prior to his retirement in 1986.

He and his wife enjoyed travel with their motor home and vacationing with their sons. He was a kind, gentle man and kept his good humor to the end. He spent a lifetime preparing for Heaven and has finally achieved his dream.

He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Mrs. Helen Ursrey Houghton; a brother, Mr. Dwight Evan Houghton and wife Norma of West Hatford, VT; a sister, Mrs. Sandy Wilder of Cottonwood, CA; three sons, Robert of Brunswick, GA, David of Savannah and Herb of Richmond Hill; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
