BiographyDr. Houghton was born on a farm in the Town of Antwerp, Jefferson County, NY. After receiving his education in local schools he matriculated at the University of Michigan, from which he received his Ph. C. in 1893 and his M.D. in 1894. A recognized authority in his field, he was a lecturer at the Detroit College of Medicine from 1896 to 1901 and at the University of Michigan from 1902 to 1908.

By reason of his extensive research, Dr. Houghton was considered an authority on strychnine, tetanus, ergot aseptic, heart tonics, active

Dr. Houghton was a delegate to several international scientific congresses in the United States and abroad. He was a member of the Society of American Bacteriologists, American Pharmaceutical Association, American Medical Association, American College of Physicians, Society of Immunologists, Association of the Study of Internal Secretions, National Tuberculosis Association, United States Pharmacopoeia Revision Committee, the Wayne County and Michigan State Medical Societies, and one-time Chairman of the biological section of the American Drug Manufacturers Association. He was also a member of the Corinthian Lodge, F. & A. M., and of the Detroit Athletic Club.

Dr. Houghton was twice married, first to Jennie Hunt, by whom he had three children, and who predeceased him by slightly less than two years. He was married to his second wife, Alice Maude Whitehead, nine months before he died from cancer of the liver. A shorter death notice in the same paper a few days earlier listed the cause of death as diabetes.

Among those in attendance at Dr. Houghton's funeral were his nephew Elmer D. Houghton of Antwerp, where Dr. Houghton retained possession of the homestead farm, which he visited several times a year.

The Family of Chester and Emily Childs Poole....and connecting families...: His home was in Colonial Revival style, symmetrical with central bay window and gambrel roof.
Elijah Mark Houghton, M.D. E. Mark Houghton was born in New York in 1867. He came to Michigan in 1889 to attend the University of Michigan, obtaining degrees in both pharmaceutical chemistry and medicine. After his graduation in 1893, he began practice in Ann Arbor and continued to pursue research at the University. In 1895, Parke-Davis hired Houghton and Charles McClintock to establish a biology research lab, with the aim of developing and producing an anti-toxin to diphtheria, then a major public health scourge. They succeeded within a few months, and Houghton remained as Director of Medical Research at Parke-Davis, as well as lecturing at Detroit Medical College and the University of Michigan. In 1905, Houghton moved into 680 Longfellow, one of the first homes in Boston-Edison, where he lived until the late 1930s.
