BurialMountain View Cemetery, Waterville, VT, USA
BiographyDexter Kenfield: Dexter's father stated that the mailbox was way down at the end of the road, down a long hill. He walked down to get the mail, and on the way back slipped on some ice and broke his skull, dying a short while later. This was in Vermont in the early spring - lots of ice around in hill country, which Waterville is. And the death record gives cause of death as "cerebral hemorrhage due to fractured occipital bone due to accident."6

Obituary courtesy of B. Wacks. DEATH OF THOMAS HOUGHTON Aged Man Died in Upper Graniteville Thursday Morning
Thomas Houghton, a well known resident of Barre Town, passed away at his home in upper Graniteville Thursday morning at 9:45 o'clock. Eight years ago he suffered a shock and had been confined to his bed continuously. He is survived by his wife, five sons, Joseph and Stephen Houghton of Graniteville, Michael Houghton of Butte, Mont., Charles Houghton of Sunset, Idaho, and Thomas Houghton of Laretto, Pa., and by three daughters, Mrs. Mary Coyle of Hartford, Conn., Miss Annie Houghton and Mrs. Frank McGuire of Graniteville. He also leaves three sisters and three brothers as follows: Misses Kate and Mary Houghton of Manchester, N. H., and Margaret, Sister Monica, of Portland, Me., Patrick Houghton of Twin Mountains, N. H., Michael Houghton of Thetford Mines, P. Q., and James Houghton of Manchester, N. H. The deceased was born in St. Sylvester, P. Q., March 20, 1838, and had resided in Graniteville for the past twenty-five years. He was a quarryman by trade. In eight years of illness, in a period when he was scarcely able to move and deprived of his speech, Mr. Houghton was a patient sufferer. Funeral services will be held in St. Sylvester's church in Graniteville Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Rev. Joseph Turcot, the parish priest, will officiate and interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery on Beckley street. It is requested that flowers be omitted.

Walter Myron Houghton, 65, pass- ed away suddenly at his home Sunday noon, Nov. 7.
He was born in Woodstock Aug. 25, 1882, the son of Simeon D. and Emma Burnham Houghton. He attended the Woodstock schools and, at the age of 20, became a traveling salesman for Smith and Son of White River Junction. After a year with this company, he became a salesman for Gurnsey Brothers of Keene, N. H., remaining with them for more than 30 years.
On Oct. 1, 1904, he was married to Bernice L. Fraser of Woodstock who was a devoted helpmate until she passed away Feb. 20, 1937. In 1938 he married Rena M. Jenne of Hartland.
Mr. Houghton is survived by his wife; a son, Leo Fraser Houghton, Springfield, Mass; a sister, Mrs. Ada Farrelly, St. Petersburg, Fla; a brother, Owen B. Houghton, Woodstock; and four nieces and nephews, Miss Frances Farrelly, St. Petersburg, Mrs. William Clark, East Randolph, and Raymond and Everett Houghton, Woodstock.     The deceased lived for many years in Hartland and, for a few years, owned a store In Quechee. In 1019, he acquired the Riverdale Trotting Park in Lebanon, N. H. For the past 18 years he has lived in Lebanon, delighted to share the facilities of the training stables with his fellow horse- men. For many years he drove his own horses in races at various New England fairs.
Funeral services were held at Billings chapel here Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 2:30 p. m. with burial in Riverside cemetery. The Rev. Arthur Colbourn officiated. Bearers were Howard Parker and Clair Lovell, White River Junction; Lawrence Wilcox, Newport; and Ernest King, Lebanon.
