All Prisoners buried in Cahawba have been removed to Marietta National Cemetery in Cobb Co., GA. Marietta National Cemetery Records show -- Houghton, Alonzo , d. 09/23/1864 , PVT A 13 ILL, INF, Orig Bur Cahaba Cem Ala, Plot K 3894 .

Cahaba Prison (once known as Cahawba) was named for the small Alabama town that lay nearby on the Alabama and Cahaba Rivers, not far from Selma. Built as a cotton and corn shed measuring roughly 193 feet by 116 feet, Cahaba's walls were 8 to 10 feet high and only partially roofed over. The entire center area was left open.... Into this small stockade the Confederates crowded over 5,000 Union soldiers from late 1863 until the end of the war in April of 1865. Estimates suggest that each man in the prison had only six square feet of living space per soldier. The daily rations for the prisoners consisted of 10 to 12 ounces of corn meal (including ground cobs and husks ) , and five to seven ounces of bacon or beef. But in the warm months , the meat rations often gave off such a nauseating smell that only a few of the men could force themselves to eat it. There was a single fireplace in the building and fires were sometime built upon the earthen floor of the barracks. The fire wood, when furnished at all, was either green sap pine or decayed oak from old fields. The sleeping arrangements consisted of rough bunks, without straw or bedding of any kind, These bunks could accommodate only four hundred and thirty two men. Today, Cahaba is a ghost town.⁷

Biography

Derl Houghton: " Jonathan Jr. enlisted in the Union Army at Dekalb, Illinois, on November 8, 1863. He was 19 years old, and his occupation was listed as a farmer. He was mustered into Company C Co., 17th Illinois Calvary, as Sixth Corporal at Saint Charles, Illinois, on September 22, 1864. His muster-in roll lists him as having gray eyes, light hair, light complexion, and being six feet tall. He was paid an enlistment bounty of $60.00, an enlistment premium of $2.00, with $240.00 more bounty money due him. Muster rolls indicates he was returned to the rank of private at his own request on February 1, 1864.

* Jonathan spent most of his Civil War service in Missouri, chasing notorious "bushwhackers" such as "Bloody Bill" Anderson, the Quantrell Gang, the James and Younger brothers, and fighting Confederate General Sterling Price's forces. He was mustered out of the Army at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, on November 23, 1865. He had been paid $220.00 of his enlistment bounty, and was still owed $80.00. Upon discharge he was charged 30 cents for a saber knot, 37 cents for a screw driver, and 48 cents for a thong and a brush which he had lost.

* On February 8, 1892, at age 47, Jonathan applied for a veteran's Invalid Pension, stating he was unable to work due to sun stroke and rheumatism. The accompanying doctor's affidavit (Dr. Brookings of Woodward, Iowa) stated he had "a weak circulation attributable to a dilated heart, with it accompanying Symphous Palpitations, chilliness, wheezing, uneasiness & pain in Cardiac region, Rheumatism, & swollen ankles at times. From Catarrah of Pharynx and Post Nasal of a Chronic Type, causing much Debility. He is also a sufferer from Piles, internal sissitu and a frequent sufferer from digestive derangements usually termed billous attacts, and in my opinion he is disabled from performing Manual Laborer 12/18 of that of an able bodied man." Jonathan was granted pension 1090965. Following Jonathan's death, his widow, Rebecca, applied for a Widow's Pension on May 25, 1908, at age 54. After a great deal of correspondence with the Pension Bureau regarding confusion over the name "John Houghton" as it appeared on Jonathan and Rebecca's marriage license, and the Veteral "Jonathan Houghton", Rebecca's application was approved and she was granted a Widow's Pension of $30.00 per month until her death on December 16, 1922.

* To further fill in Jonathan's family history, He farmed near Kingston Illinois (Illinois tax records 1876) ,this may have been his fathers farm , but in approximately 1881, Jonathan moved to a farm one mile north of Perry, in Dallas County, Iowa. In 1883, he moved to a farm one mile south of Woodward, also in Dallas County, Iowa, where he lived for a number of years before moving to a new house in the town of Woodward. This new house, still standing at 508 Walnut Avenue in Woodward, was built for Jonathan and Rebecca by Rebecca's brother- in- law, Cyrus "Doc " Lance.

* Jonathan's daughter, Jessie, and son- in- law, August Louis Henry "Gus" Krasche, continued to live on what had to become known as the "Houghton Farm" south of Woodward. Gus and his wife built a new house on the property, but lost the house when a Woodward merchant purchased the Krasche's loan and foreclosed during the Depression. Unable to pay the remaining $300, they lost the farm but continued to live there as renters until Jessie's death and Gus' subsequent death in 1955. Gus' daughter , Mildred, then lived on the farm for several more years until she ,too, moved into Woodward. The Houghton/Krasche farm house and outbuildings were raised in 1995 to make way for a highway interchange for Iowa highway 210 upon the four- lane construction of Iowa highway 141.

* Military service: November 08, 1863, Enlisted at in Co C, 17 IL Vol. Cav.. Discharged Nov 23 1865, Ft Leavenworth KS.

* Occupation: Farmer"⁷
