BiographyJoseph Davis Houghton who is widely known in the shoe and leather industry in Lynn Massachusetts and elsewhere as president of the Houghton Heel and Leather Company has been identified with this line of endeavor throughout his entire career. The name of Houghton has been familiar to the trade since 1869 when James Houghton, Mr. Houghton's father, the original firm of which the present corporation is the outgrowth.
James Houghton, the founder of the business, was born in Boston and came to Lynn at an early date. In 1869, in association with William R. Mudge, he engaged in the leather business on State street in this city. That was a time when the shoe industry in Lynn had scarcely emerged from the experimental stage The early partnership endured under the firm name of Houghton & Mudge until the death of Mr. Mudge, after which a Mr. Godfrey was received into the business, the firm thereby becoming Houghton & Godfrey and continuing thus until the death of Mr. Godfrey. Mr Houghton has survived both his early associates and with the incorporation of the business which took place 1904, he became treasurer of the concern, largely turning over the management of its affairs to his son. He has since, however, kept an active interest in the business and is still seen at his desk practically every day, notwithstanding the fact that he has reached an age when many men have been retired for years. He has always been alert to every advance in the line of activity in which he has so long been engaged, more than half a century having passed since his early start. James Houghton married Maria L Atkinson who is now deceased.
Joseph D Houghton was born in Lynn, Massachusetts, November 15 1872 He received his education in the public schools of this city and in his early youth became interested in the business of which his father was the head. Beginning at the bottom, he worked through all the departments, familiarizing himself with every detail of the business With the incorporation in 1904, he was made president of the company and has since gone forward in that capacity, carrying to ever increasing success the business in which he has spent his active life. Under his management the output of the factory has gradually expanded, until now they are doing a very considerable business. They produce heels, shoe findings, etc, for the trade throughout the city of Lynn and the New England district, shipping also to the shoe centers of the West. They have a well equipped plant at No 520 Washington street Lynn and employ about sixty people. Mr. Houghton is a member of the Oxford Club of Lynn, also of the Lynn Lodge Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He is single and resides with his father at No 33 Breed street Lynn both attending the Unitarian church.4
