NoteMLM: "Mr. Fred B. Houghton wrote that his Gr. Grandfather Houghton went to war (1812), fell sick, and was payrolled to his sister for care...Apparently never reported back, so may have been listed as a deserter. He was a Gardner. Also for my grandmother, Taunt. Brattleboro, Vermont, seems to be the home of my branch of Houghtons." He and Ira France are historians for the Las Vegas, NM, Masonic Lodge.6

NewspaperJan 29, 2013LITTLETON, N.H. (MyFoxBoston.com) – The New Hampshire Attorney General's office says an arrest has been made in connection with the stabbing death of a doctor in Littleton.

N.H. Attorney General Michael Delaney's office said Dr. Catherine Houghton, 70, was stabbed multiple times in the neck and torso at the Hampton Inn hotel Monday night. She was taken to Littleton Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Rodney Hill, 37, of West Danville, Vt., was arrested around 8:50 p.m. outside of the hotel in connection with Houghton's death. He was charged with two counts of second-degree murder.
Houghton graduated from the White Mountain School in 1960 and sat on the board of trustees. The school released a statement on their website saying they are deeply saddened by the loss.

Separate article:

Houghton was a graduate and trustee of The White Mountain School, a private college preparatory school in northwestern New Hampshire. The school’s community is “deeply saddened” by Houghton’s death, the school said in statement.

The school’s website said Houghton, who held a doctorate from Stanford University, had spent most of her career in the Foreign Service, serving all over the world. In retirement, she also was an avid hiker, skier, and musician and was an airplane pilot for Angelflight, which provides air transportation for financially distressed people in medical need, and for Lighthawk, which provides air transport for conservation organizations.

Another:

Houghton held master's and doctorate degrees from Stanford University, had served in the Peace Corps in Nepal and worked as an international
officer for Bank of America before joining the global business arm of the U.S. Foreign Service, according to a tribute posted on the White Mountain School's website.

The tribute adds that she had a pilot's license and volunteered for Angelflight, which provides transportation to indigent people in medical need. She was also fluent in six foreign languages, including Mandarin and Bengali.

She delivered her alma mater's commencement address in 2011.
ObituaryFeb 5, 2013Catherine Houghton

May 21, 1942

January 28, 2013

Catherine (Kitty) Houghton, age 70, of Novato, California, passed away suddenly on January 28, 2013, in Littleton, New Hampshire. The cause of death was homicide.

A native of Reno, Nevada, she was the daughter of Samuel G. Houghton and Edda K. Morrison. Kitty was a graduate of Saint Mary's in the Mountains (now known as the White Mountain School) and a member of their Board of Trustees at the time of her passing. She earned her Bachelors Degree in Anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, and her M. A. and Ph. D. in Linguistics from Stanford University.

Kitty served the Peace Corps, in one of the very first groups to go to Nepal, from 1964-66. She worked as an international officer for Bank of America, and also for DuPont, before joining the U.S. Foreign Commercial Service in 1979, working at embassies all over the world during the course of her twenty-eight year career in public service. She spoke fourteen languages and was fluent in six of them, including Mandarin and Bengali. Following her retirement from the Foreign Service in 2007 she continued to lead a very active life. She sang first alto and served on the board of the Choral Singers of Marin. She served on the board of the Indian Valley Associates homeowners association. A member since 1996 of the Ninety-Nines, an international organization of women pilots, she was membership chairwoman for their Marin chapter. She was working on a film about the Nepali Chapter of the Ninety-Nines at the time of her death. Kitty was a volunteer pilot for Angelflight, which provides free air transport for people with medical needs, and Lighthawk, a non-profit organization providing flight transportation to conservation organizations. She was a life long member of the Church of Christ, Scientist, and recently served as First Reader at the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Novato. An avid skier, hiker and musician throughout her life, she remained extraordinarily fit, and enjoyed classical music, world music and theater. Her friends around the world were very important to her and she made regular visits for the purpose of keeping up with them. Kitty left the world an amazing legacy, a standard of generosity, achievement and compassion to which all may aspire.

She is survived by two sisters, Linda Houghton Krantz and her husband Jim Krantz of Portola, California, and Monica (Niki) Houghton of Washoe Valley, Nevada; a sister-in-law, Ruth Berry and her husband Graeme Berry, of Dunedin, New Zealand; a step-sister, Judy Nash and her husband Russell Nash of Reno, Nevada; and several nieces and nephews.

Kitty touched many lives, in many corners of the globe, and all who wish to memorialize her are encouraged to do so in a fashion and at the time appropriate to each.

In lieu of flowers donations may be sent to: The Catherine Houghton Arts Center, The White Mountain School, 371 West Farm Road, Bethlehem, NH 03574 www.whitemountain.org or an organization of your choice. Pillsbury-Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium, Littleton, NH, is assisting the family with arrangements. To view an online memorial or leave a message of condolence please go to www.phaneuf.net
