Later they moved to Detroit where he was a foreman for the Contractor's Equipment Co. for several years. He returned to Milford MI in 1931, where he worked as a mechanic and lived with his parents on the old home until their deaths. Since the marriage of his brother, Donald, he lived alone in the house. His familial home (since 1834, for a hundred years) burned down. It was a brick house on the farm. The Houghton farm consisted of 250 acres (200 in Milford and 50 in Commerche MI), taken from the government by grandfather Daniel Houghton in June 27, 1834 (passed on to Daniel Jr. in Jan 1869).6
