BiographyHoughton Family History from "Prairie Tapestry" (featuring the towns of Davidson and Girvin and the surrounding district, in Saskatchewan)

Roy Houghton came to Canada in 1905, arriving in Regina, Saskatchewan where he lived the first winter. In the spring of 1906, he worked as a
farm laborer at Pense. That year he came to Davidson and took up a homestead nine miles west and four miles south of Davidson [on] NW 9-25-3 west of the third meridian. A small shack was built where he lived until he bought the S half 17-25-3 west of the third meridian. His brother Dr. Mark Houghton bought the north half of the same section, which my father [Roy Houghton] bought from him some years later. My father built a sod house and stable on the southwest quarter and lived there.

In the fall of 1906 [should be 1907 - ds] he went back to his home town in the States where he married his life-long sweetheart Grace Nancy
Devendorf on Christmas Eve at the Devendorf home. After the wedding they spent the winter visiting relatives before leaving for Saskatchewan, which turned out to be their life-long home.

Mother was very lonely. Everything was strange to her, and there were many transients travelling by on foot, carrying their belongings. She was
afraid when they would stop for a bite to eat, because she was alone quite a bit of the time. Elbow [Saskatchewan] was just being built, which
attracted many men.

The crops were good on the newly cultivated land. In a couple of years, father built a two-roomed house which they lived in until 1911. The house was moved about a quarter of a mile in from the road where water was found. A 35-foot soft spring water well was dug, and many neighbors hauled water for their stock and drinking, as they couldn't find good water on their farms.

In 1917 a large hip-roofed barn was built. My father had quite a few good horses, and took great pride in his stock. He could not stand to see an
animal abused.

In 1919, the first car was bought, a 490 Chevrolet which was a great treat for all the family. Mother learned to drive. There was no driver training
as we have today.

The family consisted of four daughters and two sons. All were born at the farm home, most with just a midwife, Miss Wilson, an English nurse,
present. There may have been a doctor at some of the births.

As soon as we children were old enough to help, we were given chores to do -- some milking and others feeding calves -- as by this time there were
quite a number of cows to milk. I worked outside with my father as soon as I was old enought to drive horses. It was my job every year to seed the fall rye. After the crop was cut with the binder, a hired man stooked [set up shocks - British variant - ds] the grain. Corn and sunflowers were
grown for feed and chopped in my father's underground silo.

The boys did a lot of trapping of weasels, badgers and coyotes in winter. In the fall, the men hauled wood from the sand hills for firewood, and
coal and briquettes were burned too. There were many hardships during the life of our parents.

When Dad made a trip to town, he always brought us a 10-cent bag of candy. We kids were very happy and it was ample for six of us. My brother Ralph usually took his share and hid it; he hoarded anything that he received. We never had much of toys. Our parents could not afford it for six kids. I remember how excited I was whne I got my first Eaton Beauty doll. I kept it until my youngest sister go hold of it.

I was the oldest of the six children, and there was an earthquake a few days after I was born. As Bill was old enough to help Dad, I started to
work out after I finished my Grade eight at school. We had four and a half miles to go to Woodmere school. mother took us in the summer and Dad in the winter, until we were old enough to drive horses ourselves. There were many minor accidents, horses running away or buggy wheels coming off. I guess this was all in the game in those days. If we missed school for so many days the truant officer would be finding out why we weren't at school if under 15 years old. In 1927, I took a course in home economics for four months at Regina College which I enjoyed nad has helped me in many ways throught my lifetime.

The drought and dust storms came in the 1930s, which hurt the farmers very badly as the high winds would blow the seed out of the ground and form sandpiles everywhere. My father and Bill Barlow took a trip to Vanderhoof, B.C. in search of something better but to their disappointment they found just bogholes and water everywhere. Eventually things began to be a bit more on the bright side and by 1940 the rains came make the crops flourish.

We were luckier than some children as mother was a seamstress and a lot of our clothes were made from dyed flour and sugar sacks, and hand-me-downs were made over into coats. The family farm was sold to the Hundeby Bros. in 1974.

... My father Roy Arthur Houghton was the youngest of eight sons born to Harriet [Simons] and William Houghton of Antwerp, New York. Roy was born on February 23, 1881. His father was a dairy farmer. Roy came to Canada in 1905, arriving in Regina, Saskatchewan where he lived the first winter. In the spring of 1906, he worked as a farm laborer at Pense. That year he came to Davidson and took up a homestead nine miles west and four miles south of Davidson [on] NW 9-25-3 west of the third meridian. A small shack was built where he lived until he bought the S half [of] 17-25-3 west of the third meridian. His brother Dr. Mark Houghton bought the north half of the same section, which my father [Roy Houghton] bought from him some years later. My father built a sod house and stable on the southeast quarter and lived there.

In the fall of 1906 [seems it should be 1907, given the date of his marriage - ds] he went back to his home town in the States where he married his life-long sweetheart Grace Nancy Devendorf. Her birthday was July 23, 1882. They were married on Christmas Eve at the Devendorf home ... After the wedding they spent part of the winter visiting relatives before leaving for Saskatchewan, which turned out to be their life-long home.

Mother was very lonely. Everything was strange to her, and there were many transients travelling by on foot, carrying their belongings. She was afraid when they would stop for a bite to eat, because she was alone quite a bit of the time. Elbow [Saskatchewan] was just being built, which attracted many men.

The family consisted of four daughters and two sons. All were born at the farm home, most with just a midwife, Miss Wilson, an English nurse, present. There may have been a doctor at some of the births:

1. Marion Auro, 13 May 1909

[Here begins a more personal and genealogical section of the article. It was written ca 1984, so there will no doubt have been many births, deaths, marriages and probably divorces since then -- nearly thirty years ago as of 2013. The reader should keep that in mind -- ds].
