Obituary

Betsey A. Houghton, wife of the late Rev. J. S. Houghton, was born in Broadalbln, Montgomery Co„ N. Y., Sept. 20, 1823, and departed this life March 21, 1900. in her seventy-seventh year. She was the daughter of Dr. Asa Fitch, who practiced medicine in Montgomery for about twenty-five years previous to moving with his family to North Bay, where he purchased a large farm, a part of which was the late home of Mrs. Houghton. She was one of a family of ten children, four of whom survive. Isaac Fitch, of Oneida; Robert F., of Buffalo, and Dennison and George F., who is the West. O. J. Fitch (deceased) captain of Co. C., N. Y. Volunteers, was a brother of Mrs. Houghton. Fifty-one years ago Sister Houghton was married to J.S. Houghton, of Constableville, Lewis Co., NY.

Five children survive the deceased: Phebc, an invalid daughtcr to whose loving and constant care Mother Houghton has devoted forty-flve years of hcr life; the Rev. O. J. Houghton, of North Western and member of the Northern New York Conference; George Houghton, of North Bay; Sarah Lamphier of South Dakota and Thomas Houghton, of Rochester. “Her children rise up to call her blessed." All except the one in Dakota were at her bedside in her last hours. Mother Houghton was Mother Houghton was converted at North Bay in her eighteenth year and has been walking in the Christian pathway for nearly sixty years. She seemed to realize for several days before she departed that “the time of her departure was at hand." Her last testimony showed that her faith was like an anchor to the soul, leaving a glorious hope that if faithful, the mourning ones may clasp those dear old hands and see her loving face where parting will be no more. She had not She had not left her soul's salvation till the dying hour, hence her unwavering faith., Her pastor calling on her a short time before her death and asking what was her best word, she triumphantly in the language of Wesley said, "The Lord is with us" As she was nearing the valley she repeated part of the twenty-third or “Shepherd Psalm,“ closing with that blessed verse “Yea, though I walk through the valley and the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” On being asked, “Mother, is Jesus with you?" "Yes, sir, 1 know he is," was the reply, And to the inquiry, as to the hope of Heaven, she said "The sky was all clear, all was fair.'' Yea, the clouds were all lifting and she was noon to bask forever in God's eternal sunshine. Her love for all about her was strong even in death. When the eyes, the hand or voice could no longer respond to inquiries for recognition, the dear lips gave each a parting kiss as the loving spirit "brushed the dew of Jordan banks" and joined the holy ranks of “friends and kindred dear" swelling that great throng of who have come out of great tribulation and "washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb." Thus passed from labor to reward a Ioving and devoted mother, a kind neighbor and friend to all about her. Her funeral took place from her late home and the Methodist Episcopal church, North Bay, Friday, March 22. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery in the village near the lake. The hearers were her three sons and youngest brother. Her pastor, the Rev. H. Casier, of North Bay, officiated, preaching from the appropriate text, I. Cor. 4: 57— "Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
