NoteDr Richard Houghton at one point actually had possession of Edward J. Houghton’s congressional Medal of Honor. The story I heard from my father is that Dr. Richard Houghton had inherited both the medal and letter from someone. When Dr. Houghton died, the Houghtons asked his widow, Mary, if she would return those items to them. Mary agreed to give them the medal but she kept the letter. Since she and her husband had no children of their own, it eventually ended up with my father.
Navy document of Medal of Honor came from a grand daughter Kathy Leary who’s grandmother was raised by Dr Richard Houghton and his wife Mary Duane. Not sure of timing, but when Richard died in 1935 it appears that surviving bloodline Houghton’s asked for the medal back. Not many bloodline descendants left after this period. I suspect medal went to Mary T. Houghton, a first cousin to Andy Houghton, she lived in Ashmont and died in 1941. My other guess would be Arthur Houghton who married the actress and lived in California. Arthur died in 1972 in Los Angeles, he was almost 100 years old.
