Biography

JWH, MLM: He lived with his parents on the paternal homestead, never in the hands of any but the Houghton's, until the death of his father in 1822 [??]. He was a graduate of Yale Divinity School in 1843, and pastor of the Congregational Church in Northboro, Mass., ten years. He resigned in 1851 because of ill health. He went to Berlin in 1852. In 1853 he was installed over Congregational Church in Berlin and resigned 10, 25, 1878, after a pastorate of 25 years. He spent the last 10 years of his life in collecting material for a history of Berlin which, through failing health, he was unable to complete, and which was afterwards finished by Rev. George G. Pratt, who was, in 1911, pastor of the First M. E. Church, Springfield, Ill. He and Mary had no children [CJV: adopted]. In 1841 Mary Grace was discharged to the church in Northboro and on May 4, 1854, she was readmitted to the church in Berlin. William was admitted to the church in Berlin "from Yale College, " on May 4, 1854. He was on the school board in 1853, 1858, 1860, 1866, 1870, 1873, 1880, 1883, and 1886.

Worcester Co. Hx. (Berlin Section written by William Addison): On the north, almost the entire section of Berlin was owned by the Lancaster Houghtons. John Houghton was among the first properietors of the "ten miles square" of Lancaster. Two of his sons settled on the Berlin territory. By 1738 a majority of Lancaster Houghtons fell into Bolton. John's son Robert was the progenitor of the principle Berlin Houghton line. From 1675 to 1825, for 6 generations, Houghtons occupied the same homestead in Berlin. William Addison was the last of that name in Berlin. He began preparing for college at 22, graduate from Yale in 1840. He was at Yale Divinity School and at the Congreg. Church of Northboro in 1843. He resigned from that Church n 1851. He resided in Berlin in 1852. He was installed as pastor in the Congreg. Church of Berlin Oct. 25, 1853, resigning after twenty five years on Oct. 25, 1878.

Berlin MA Hx:
William Addison Houghton, s. of Caleb, and the seventh gen. from the first John of Lancaster, m. Mary Grace, dau. of Solomon Howe of Berlin; he lived with his parents on the paternal homestead, never in the hands of any but the Houghtons (save one mere change), until the death of his father, about 1822; his home afterwards during his minority was with his guardian, Jonathan D. Meriam, Esq; at twenty-two years he began preparations for college; graduated at Yale in 1840, also at Yale Divinity School in 1843 ; was settled the same year over the Congregational Church of Northboro, with which he had united in 1843; resigned in 1851; res. in Berlin in 1852; installed over the Congregational Church in Berlin Oct. 25, 1853; resigned Oct. 25, 1878, after a pastorate of twenty-five years. The church in 1887, by motion of the pastor, Rev. C. H. Washburn, conferred upon him the relation of pastor emeritus. He was a member of the School Committee nearly all the time during his pastorate; took great interest in the public schools and in all matters pertaining to education; he was a prominent figure in the town's municipal life; was ever ready to promote all measures calculated to advance the best interests and prosperity of the community. The last years of his life were spent in collecting and collating the material for this work, which, through failing health, he was unable fully to complete. He lived on the old Dr. Puffer homestead, bought in 1857 ; the buildings were remodeled in 1866. Had an adopted dau., Lucinda Howe, who m. Edward H. Hartshorn. His wife, Mary Grace, d. Oct. 16, 1882. He d. of no special disease, but of debility incident to old age, Sunday, March 21, 1891. The funeral, which occurred on the Thursday following, was attended by a very large concourse of people of all denominations. Rev. Henry Hyde of Greenfield, but formerly of Berlin, officiated on the occasion. No one in the daily life of Berlin has been more missed than William Addison Houghton.^6,27,28,26

The older citzens of that town remember her faithfuI services, as she devoted her rare taIents in everv way to aid in all that ministered to her husband's success in the ministry. Returning after ten years to her native town, she entered with the same fidelity in the work of his twenty five years' pastorate here, till prostrated by paralysis. She lived in comparative retirement and died in 1882. Mrs. Houghton purchased the Dr. Puffer estate, and she built the barn and remodeled the house (since burned), which were ornaments to the town.²⁰
