BiographyHarriet Poor Houghton By Judge Hileary Q. Houghton, Her Son.

I approach the subject in hand with a mingled feeling of pleasure and sadness. Pleasure as I recall the devotion of my mother to her family, her kind disposition and pure and unselfish life. Sadness that she could not longer abide with us. The various members of the family have furnished me with data concerning incidents associated with her life, and with their views of her life and character. These matters I have appropriated and embraced in what I have to say, so my remarks will be in the nature of a contribution by her living children to the memory of their mother.

Harriet Poor was the ninth child of John Poor and his wife, Hannah Chute, and was born at Newburyport, Massachusetts, on the 27th day of August,
1815. When less than two years old her father with his family left the ancestral home and in October, 1819, settled on a farm which he had purchased, about twelve miles east of the city of Salem, on Elk Creek, in Washington county, Indiana. About the same time and during the same year William Houghton, a native of New Jersey, but fresh from Kentucky, settled on a farm in Daviess county, two miles west of the place on which I now stand with his family, one of whom was William H. Houghton, then a boy of nine summers, whose wife she afterward became. So "ar as I know, I am the only one of the relatives who was ever in the locality where grandfather settled. Over thirty years ago I spent the holidays with a college classmate, who lived in that county. We went from Salem to his home on horseback, and while on (he way fell in with a man who told me that he knew my grandmother when he was a boy, and that he had gone to school either to or with my Aunt Susan during his school days. We crossed a small stream which I was informformed
was Elk Creek, and the man pointed out the location of the place where grandfather settled. Though very young, mother remembered two incidents
of her life on that farm which occurred soon after they settled there. She has told me that soon after they moved in the little cabin on the farm on Elk
Creek, that her lather took the children fishing in that stream; that he made fish hooks by bending pins, fastened them to strings which were tied to poles cut from the trees The fish favored her line and she caught several small ones much to the pleasure of her father, who commended her to the other children on account of her success. That was the one distinct memory she had of her father. The other presents a different scene. About two months after they located on this farm, her father one day in December was taken suddenly ill, four hours later he was no more. No one save the family was there at the time. They were three miles from the nearest neighbor, and no male present except her sixteen-year-old brother Alvin, and the infant John.
Thus she was left fatherless when less than five years of age ; but her mother kept the family together until the older girls were married. In 1826 her sister, Betsy Chute, married Walter Wright. They lived in Greencastle and mother made her home with her from that time until her sister's death, which occurred two years later. She then lived with her sister, Hannah Prosser, at Orleans, Indiana, for about two years, when her sister Susan, married
Thomas J. Brooks, after which she made her home in his family at Mt. Pleasant until her marriage. Though there were no schools in her girlhood
days of account, she had a good education for the time. It came principally from her mother and sisters, with perhaps two school terms at Greencastle.
And yet she could not recall the time when she could not read, and so beautiful was her style that to listen to her read aloud was like listening to the notes of sweet music. As a reader of the liible she could not be excelled, for being possessed of a poetic nature, she threw the poetry of that nature into the poetry of her text. The quality of her mind was such that she was able to take such hold on the subjects she studied that she mastered them. To those of us who have had better advantages in this behalf, thanks to her, when we consider her opportunities compared to ours, and note her knowledge of affairs, her attainments seem to be remarkable.
In Mount Pleasant she met William H. Houghton, whom she married on the 17th of March, 1836. He at the time lived with his mother on a farm two miles west of that place. He was a blacksmitli by trade and was also a farmer. He was a high t^-pe of a pioneer young man, honest, his name a synonym for integrity, industrious, energetic and courageous. His capital was his strong right arm. His ambition was to conquer the forest before him, to do his part in the development of his adopted state, and turn a wilderness into a happy home. He succeeded. They were both of New England ancestry. The
Poors settled in Massachusetts in 1635, the Houghtons in 1654; but one of the Houghtons later settled in New Jersey and there our grandfather Houghton was born.
The young couple settled on a farm in Daviess county, Indiana, which father bought some time after their marriage. Here they lived most of their lives.
She was an ideal wife and mother. She loved her home, her children and her friends. She was of a sunny disposition, and when amused her laughter came in ripples, her eves would sparkle and her frame shake. Those about her she made cheerful, and her hearty laugh was the comment of her friends, who said that it made them happy to hear it. She lost no occasion to point a moral from an object. Being in the field one day in early spring, where she was gathering wild flowers, she called me to her and pointing to the newly whitewashed buildings which sparkled in the rays of the setting sun
asked me if I did not think them pretty, and on answering in the affirmative, she said that they were pretty because they were clean and pure. And then she admonished me that if I would gain the confidence of my fellows, I must live a clean pure life. She was frank with her children and come what
may, they always got the absolute truth from her. Santa Claus brought the children presents on Christmas morning, but when the question was put to her as to who he was, the answer came that the good fairy was father and mother. She did her part as a pioneer's wife in the support of the family. Hers was not an idle life. From the fleece from the back of the sheep she spun the yarn and from it made the foot wear for the whole family. From cloth woven in the loom of a neighbor, she cut and made the clothes for the whole household. From the products of the farm, the dishes were prepared by her hands that furnished the family sustenance. Into her home riches, as riches go, neve came, but there was plenty for the ordinary comforts of life, as comforts were in her day. But that home was always rich in love and purity, and in the confidence the husband and wife had in each other.
She was a great entertainer and lover of children. Often from church on Sunday many persons with children would be invited home by her for dinner, and
the ease with which she made all of them feel at home and kept the children in a good humor was a wonder to all. She performed to the letter any duty imposed up on her, and shrunk from none. She possessed this characteristic from childhood. Traveling with a family from Greencastle to Orleans when about twelve years old, they camped in the forest by an old mill on a stream of water. The darkness was dense. She was directed by the woman of the family to take a chicken back from the camp and kill it for their supper. As she proceeded, the dogs about began to bark, and looking in the direction of the sound all she could see, peering at her through the inky darkness, were dog's eyes looking like balls of tire suspended in the air. She never retreated, but dischargd tiie duty.
But the crucial test of her life came when the Civil War broke out. At that time she had among her children three boys aged respectively 21, 16 and 14
years. Before that conflict ended all three of them had seen service in that war, and two of them carry on their persons battle scars caused by wounds received in action while fighting in defense of the flag. There was no protestation that she was the victim of a cruel fate. A condition confronted her. The
country was in peril She and her husband had descended from Revolutionary ancestry. Her grandparents on both sides had fought for liberty at Lexington
and Bunker Hill. His great grandfather was with Washington's army at Long Island, was in the retreat of that army across the short hills of New Jersey and
the Delaware, fought in the battles of Long Island and White Plains, and for a time commanded a regiment in the brigade of General Nathaniel Green. Their fathers had done their part in establishing the Republic Their children would help preserve it. She first saw her oldest living son depart to the front. No mother and son were ever more attached to each other. She had lost two boys older than he and her affection for them all seemed to center in him. This affection was reciprocated by the son. They were bound to each
other as by bands of steel. I saw tliat parting, and though a mere child, it made an impression on me I will never forget. Impressing upon him the danger that threatened the country, the peril of the undertaking into which he was about to enter, and choking back the rising tears with Spartan fortitude, she bade him go and do his duty in the defense of his country's flag. She afterwards sent the other two sons to add to the force, with the same injunction; and with a fervent prayer that their Hves be spared, and that they all
be returned to her. Her prayer was answered. They all returned and helped to lighten the burden of her cares.
She was as familiar with the Bible as with the ABC. She made the stories of Holy Writ so interesting in the telling that her children sought no sweeter pleasure than to gather around her and listen to her many narrations. She possessed to a strong degree that wonderful combination of virtues which go to form a great character, a nature filled with loving tenderness, and yet with the firmness of a stoic, God fearing and strong in all of her convictions, and tempered with that loving tenderness that marks the womanly woman. She loved her home and family, neither seeking nor desiring greater position than that of queen of her own household, looking ever to the Most High for guidance in the rearing of her children, and her duty to home and society. Nine children were born to her, six of whom: William, Jeanette, Walter, Eugene, Hileary and Harriet
lived to mature years, Silas, Aaron and John died in infancy. Jeanette, the first to go of the first six named, passed to the "hills beyond" nine years ago.
She spent her declining years on the old homestead where she had returned after an absence of a few years at Bloomington, where the family had gone to give the children better educational facilities. She lived to see the children spared to her, settled in business; and after an unselfish life spent for those she loved, and after having struggled on through the hardships of a pioneer woman from a home in a primeval forest to a home on a well appointed farm which she had helped to develop, she passed away on the 27th
day of May, 1883, at the old homestead on which she had lived for almost forty years, beloved by all who knew her.
She was a Puritan by birthright and training, and was blessed by a mother whose excellencies were so many that she must be regarded as one of the most remarkable women among the early pioneers who crossed the Alleghenies in the westward march of the nation. This aged woman had a memory like a book, and a mind like that of a sage. Harriet possessed in a great measure the qualities of her mother, among which was her knowledge of the Sacred Writings, and her deep conviction of the perfect life they set forth.
She strove through her influence and opportunity to imbue the minds of her ciiildren with the excellencies of the hijjhest moral and religious life. To this end she would gather her children around her, and through precept and interesting stor' create in them a dislike of evil and wrong, and inspire in them a love for the higher life, and a determination to reach the high plane which she ever held up to their view. The circle around her knees was a school in which her children inhaled the breath of nobler things.
She was a lover of nature, often seeking it in the solitude of the woods near our home, where she had her secret nooks, that no one might intrude when she wished to commune with God and drink in the poetry of the trees, the birds, the air and the skies. Often in the summer months, when the sun's rays were declining, she would be seen walking with her children over the flowering meadow or in the refreshing grove. An attractive flower, a beautiful sunset, a shooting star, an impressive landscape would elicit from her vivid mind some marked expression worthy of a record in permanent form. She was a woman of great industry, and in the rearing of her family accomplished what to the average woman of the present day, with modern conveniences, would seem an impossibility. Her environments, the condition of her family and her pioneer farm life required this effort. Yet her children feel that with less expense of energy on her part in their behalf in the early years of her life, she may have lived to a riper old age than the number of days accorded her. She knew tlie value of a mind well stored with worthy and lasting impressions, and felt that the road to this was through the channel of an education. Moved by this conviction she endeavored to keep her children in the best local schools that could be secured. Our public schools were then a thing unknown, and a good instructor of children was the exception rather than the rule. Mt. Pleasant, however, through the efforts of her brother-in-law, Thomas J. Brooks, was blessed with well trained teachers from the East, and to these she sent her older children. But good as these schools were, they could be nothing more than elementary, and she accordingly held high in view the value of a college education. Her frequent conversations on this theme fixed in the mind of her children the views which she herself maintained. Such was regarded at first as impossible, but she and her husband overcame all obstacles in that behalf, and she lived to see a part of her children in the possession of a degree granted them by the university of their native state upon graduation therefrom, and she realized in a measure the golden dream of her active and devoted life. She was a great reader of such books as she could command. A book or an article worthy of perusal, when read by her, was the property of her mind. She would delight her children by narrating the facts
that she had thus gathered. In this way she was both entertaining and instructive. Impressions from this source remain as the permanent and pleasing possessions of her children derived when thoughts could be impressed most vividiy.
She was of a poetic turn of mind and committed to memory long selections of poetry, and often recited them to her children. Here is one of her quotations from "The Lady of the Lake" : It is the wail of Blanch of Devon: "Oh. were I now where Allan grlides. To hear my native Devon's tides. So sweetly would I rest and pray 'Twas thus my hair they bade me braid. They bade me to the church repair; It was my bridal morn they said, And my true love would meet me there. But woe betide the cruel gruile That drowned in blood the morning smile: And woe betide the fairy dream, I only waked to sob and scream." And we can in memory hear her sweet pathetic voice as she repeats:
"It was a stag, a stae of ten. Bearing his branches steadily. And he came safely down the glen. Ever sing hardily, hardily. 'Twas there he met with a wounded doe And she was bleeding deathfully; She warned him of the toils below O. so faithfully, faithfully,"
These few lines give us a glimpse of her poetic mood. Her soul could be nothing short of a lover of the beautiful in all of its phases of language and art, a conclusion to which we must arrive when we reflect upon her deep communion with nature, and with that great creative soul that fills all space and time. She passed through life with confidence and assurance that she had stored awa' in the summer land of song such abundance of treasure as would meet her fullest needs in the lapse of endless time. She is sleeping beside her husband beneath a green mound in the cemetery near by. They trod life's stony and rugged path together, hand in hand. She rests in death beside him she loved in life, but her words and hopes and influence, her motives and her faith are alive and active and growing and powerful; and her soul gently brooding over her abiding works on earth, looks down upon the world as the arena of her endless activity, and lends approving smile to this gathering of children, relatives and friends, who meet to honor her illustrious mother whose excellence shines on as a brilliant star.15
