ObituaryMar 27, 1919Springfield, VT, USA, Deäth of F. H. Houghton
Frank Herbert Houghton, master mechanic for the Springfield Electric Railway company, died last Thursday afternoon after a brief illness from double pneumonia. In his position he had charge of all the electrical business of the company, which included about everything in connection with the cars, and was so conscientious in the discharge of his duties that he was inclined to overwork and thus weakened his powers of resistance to the disease which attacked him. He went to the car barn as usual the Saturday morning before his death but before noon the disease had already so sapped his strength and energy that he was obliged to go back to the home that he was never again to leave alive.
Mr. Houghton was born in Rockingham, Sept 25, 1887, a son of James Houghton, now a resident of Saxtons River, and is survived by his parents and a sister, Mrs. Arthur Mundell of Springfield, Mass. He left, too, a young wife—nee M. Carlotta Hazelton of Claremont, N. H.—to whom he was married Oct. 3, 1917, and who has been herself prostrated by illness since her husband’s death. On his first coming to Springfield, he worked about a year for the Fellows Gear Shaper company but for the last four years had been with the electric road.
Before her marriage and after the death of her parents, Mrs. Houghton made her home with her aunt, Mrs. Truman R. McQuaid, in Claremont, and a cousin, Miss Amy L. McQuaid of that place, has been with her during the trying hours of her bereavement She has also had all the comfort and assistance that could be given by her other cousins, Clarence Richardson, Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Hazelton, Mr. and Mrs. T. D. McQuaid of Springfield, an uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. F. R. Richardson of Olive street and the many friends who feel the deepest sympathy for her. As soon as she is able she will accompany Miss McQuaid to Claremont for a period of recuperation.
The funeral service took place at the home on Park street Sunday afternoon with Rev. R. A. Beardslee of the Congregational church officiating, and burial was in Oak Hill cemetery in Bellows Falls. The flowers were exquisite and in great profusion. Besides the parents of the deceased, there were present from out of town the sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Mundell of Springfield, Mass; four uncles and an aunt, Col. Ellsworth Houghton of Bellows Falls, Ransom Richardson of Sutton, Mass., Alvin Richardson of Williamsville, Lorenzo and Miss Nellie Richardson of Bellows Falls.
The young man was a member of the Saxtons River lodge of Odd Fellows and the bearers were from that fraternity—George Buchanan, William LeClair, Henry Davis and Earl Martin.
