BiographyR. E. Houghton, engaged in the legal profession at San Francisco, is a native of the State of Maine, born in 1840, and received his education in New England. Upon reaching manhood he enlisted after the breaking out of the rebellion, and served in the Army of the Potomac. Then he accepted a position in a department at Washington, studied law and was admitted to the bar. He came to California in 1866, and since then, for the past twenty-five years, has been engaged in general civil practice. For some years he has devoted his whole attention to law pertaining to water rights, and has an extensive practice throughout the State, particularly in Southern California. He had the management, for Messrs. Miller and Lux, of the noted case of Miller & Lux vs. Haggin, involving vast interests, which settled the important question of riparian rights in California, and requiring his attention for ten years. He is counsel in all water-right questions connected with the vast landed interests of Miller & Lux. For years he has been counsel for Riverside Colony and Water Company, and also for the Bear Valley Land and Water Company of Redlands, a company possessing the largest reservoir and most valuable water right in the State, and he is also counsel for the Bear Valley and Alessandro Development Company, a company known from the Pacific to the Atlantic, it having established the most extensive and successful colony for citrus fruits ever established in California.

BiographySubject: [MAINE] Wm E. Houghton b. 1852, Bakersfield, ME m. Ella Said of Bakersfield, to CA

W. E. HOUGHTON, an influential citizen of Kern County and a resident and representative business man of Bakersfield, was born in Lincoln, Penobscot County, Maine, August 7, 1852. His father, George E. Houghton, a mechanic by trade, removed with his family from Maine to Lee, Massachusetts, afterward coming to California and locating at Stockton, where he died in 1878. Of his eight children, William E. is the youngest. The mother, a native of Maine, and a most estimable lady, now lives in San Jose. Of the other members of the family, a brother, R. E. Houghton, is an able attorney of San Francisco, and another is Master in Chancery in the same city. A third brother is engaged in the milling business in Seattle, Washington, and a fourth, who was for some years a prominent tutor in public and private schools of California, lost his life by accident in Bakersfield, in February, 1888.

W. E. Houghton received his early schooling in the town of Lee, Massachusetts. After coming to California he took a commercial course of study in San Jose, and in 1873 came to Kern county as bookkeeper for John H. Reddington & Co. In 1876 he became cashier for the Kern Valley Bank, in which position he continued about two years and a half. From 1879 to 1888 he was in the employ of Miller & Lux as an accountant and searcher of records during the time of their extensive litigation, which involved grave questions of land titles and water rights in Central California. The firm of Houghton & Lightner was organized in 1887, and from year to year their business has developed until it is now recognized as one of the most extensive and systematically conducted of all on the coast. The firm, comprising the subject of this sketch and Abia T. Lightner, both men of established business
reputation, have personally a wide experience in land matters in Califorinia They have developed a complete set of abstracts of titles of all the lands in Kern County, and are doing a large business in the abstract line. Mr. Houghton was married, December 25. 1880, to Miss Ella Said of Bakersfield, and they are the parents of two children. Their residence is a model of its kind and is located at the corner of G street and Railroad Ave.3
