Mrs. David M. Houghton

Another early settler in Ellington township is Mrs. David M. Houghton who came to that community with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Landon, at the age of thirteen years. Margaret Landon was born Sept. 19, 1851, in Lansdown, Ont. Three years after her parents settled on a farm in Ellington, she was united in marriage with David M. Houghton. They lived on a farm in Novesta township for a number of years and then moved to Cass City where Mr. Houghton established the first meat market in this village.

Mr. Houghton was a member of the 68th Michigan Volunteers at the age of seventeen and saw active service for two years in the Civil War. He was a charter member of Milo Warner Post, G. A. R., and Mrs. Houghton was a staunch supporter of the ladies' auxiliary. Mr. Houghton passed away July 18, 1917.

Mrs. Houghton has always been an active church worker and was spry in every way until two years ago when she fell down the basement stairs in a local store, breaking an arm and a leg. She was confined to her bed for a year, but has recovered sufficiently to be able to visit her neighbors again and to attend church.7

Chronicle Readers:

There have not been many changes in the DeLong family since migrating from your community. As for the head of the house, he still holds forth at his old trade, building bungalows for the westerners at the same time regaling the passers-by with the same old whistle. Master Nigel would scarcely be recognized as the little lad who left Cass City three years ago, and while not yet 12 years old, he is a big, husky fellow measuring 5 ft. 3 in., and weighing 117 lbs.3
