BiographyHENRY F. HOUGHTON, born in Newfane, when a mere boy began his mercantile career at Williamsville. His firm having dissolved, he was in Marlboro two years engaged in trade as a merchant and holding the office of town clerk. In 1857 he and John Blake came to this town and bought the dry goods business of Cune & Brackett in the store which he afterwards occupied as a member of the firm Houghton & Blake, Houghton & Snow, Spencer (Porter Spencer, who retired from the firm in April, 1877) & Company and Houghton & Kuech, with intervals when he had no partner. For a time he and Blake conducted business jointly in this town and in Rochester, Minnesota. Thus it appears that though he lived only to a little past middle life he was among the oldest merchants in the county. He died June 4, 1884, aged fifty-eight. Mr. Houghton was a quiet and unassuming man, devoting his life in the
main to his family and friends. Integrity, temperance, an intelligent interest in books and public affairs, fidelity to friends, deep affections, patience under intense suffering and an unfaltering trust in a Supreme Power—these all characterized his life and made it worthy of respect and imitation.
He married, first, Miss Maria Jane Westcott, who died December 4, 1863, aged thirty-two. They had a daughter, Emma F. He married, second, Mrs. Laura Smith. Their daughter, Florence Mabel, was born July 28, 1869; died February 7, 1913
