ObituaryJul 31, 1906The following tribute to his memory is copied from an editorial
in the Birmingham Age-Herald of July 31st, 1906, the morning after his
death:

"Judge William R. Houghton died last night at the Hillman
hospital as the result of a stroke of paralysis suffered last Tuesday
morning. Since stricken he had been in a critical condition and there
had been little hope of his recovery.

"On Tuesday Judge Houghton was paralyzed while walking on
Eighteenth street and in a few hours lapsed into unconsciousness. He was
conveyed to the hospital where he had received the best medical
attention. He remained in a deep stupor most of the time with only
occasional returns to consciousness. His vocal organs were affected by
the stroke and he had never been able to speak a word, but by slight
movements of the head he was able to indicate that he understood remarks addressed to him.

"Last evening about 6:30 o'clock there was a sinking spell and
relatives were hurriedly summoned. The end came at 7:30 o'clock. At his
bedside at the time were his son, Harry S. Houghton of Montgomery and
the deceased's brother, M. B. Houghton. He leaves also a sister who
resides in Austin, Tex.

"Judge Houghton's body will be carried to Montgomery this
morning at 8:30 o'clock. The funeral will take place there this afternoon.


SKETCH OF HIS LIFE.

"William R. Houghton was born in Heard County, Georgia, on May
22, 1842. When he was but a small boy his family moved to Alabama and
settled near Opelika, where he was reared and educated. At the beginning
of the civil war he was teaching school near Mt. Zion, Ala., but at the
first call for troops he enlisted in the Columbus, (Ga.) Guards. He
served throughout the war and participated with marked gallantry in many
important battles, being wounded several times. At the close of the war
he took up the study of law and practiced at Rutledge and later at
Hayneville.

Moving to Birmingham about fifteen years ago he formed a
partnership with E. T. Talliferro, and later on practiced with W. A.
Collier. In 1896 he became the partner of Capt. W. C. Ward in the law
firm of Ward & Houghton and had been associated with him to the present
time.


WAR ANNALS.

"Judge Houghton was deeply interested in literature
and especially war annals. He made valuable contributions to Confederate
history. His narrative papers on the great battles are regarded as
having high historical value. The deceased was often urged to put these
narratives into book form, and was engaged on this work when the end came.

"Devoted to the stirring memories of the sixties and ever bound
to his old comrades of the war, Judge Houghton accepted the results of
the surrender and lived and worked for the upbuilding of the south.
Proverbially unassuming, the deceased was known far and wide for his
bravery and his heroic spirit, and he was known, too, for his kindness
of heart and his unostentatious deeds of charity. His death will be
profoundly lamented in Alabama and to Camp Hardee, United Confederate
Veterans, his passing away will come as a real grief."5

Guards, which was assigned to the Second Georgia regiment of infantry, and known as company E. He went in as a private, and, in 1864, was made one of Gen.

He was wounded seven times, seriously at Malvern Hill and second Manassas, and slightly at Chickamauga and elsewhere. After the war he commenced to study law, and was admitted to practice in 1866, and located , first, at Haynesville, Ala., where he remained fifteen years, and then, in 1888, he moved to Birmingham, where he has since practiced.

Two Boys in the Civil War: "At the close of the war he returned to the old neighborhood where he had formerly taught, almost a physical wreck. Penniless, and threadbare of clothing, he was taken in hand by his cousins, the Misses Whitten who were veritable angels of mercy and sympathy and who devotedly nursed him back to health and strength.
He again resumed his school under the changed conditions among his former patrons or such of them as had survived the struggle. He begun reading law during his school term and after its close he studied under his father at Newton, where he was admitted to the bar.

He had among his clients some of the best and most prominent citizens of Lowndes, Montgomery, and Jefferson counties.
He was noted for his ability as a lawyer, his high sense of honor, sterling integrity and honesty, his unfailing affability, charity, patriotism and love of his fellow men."8,15,16
