ObituaryMar 13, 1941From The Floyd County Hesperian, Thursday, March 13, 1941:

FINAL RITES HELD FOR DR. W. M. HOUGHTON MONDAY AFTERNOON

Dr. W. M. Houghton, 73 yeard old Floyd county physician, was buried Monday afternoon in the Floydada cemetery following final rites at the First Christian church with Rev. L. W. Bridges, officiating.

He was reared at Pond Springs in Williamson County, and made his home in Beaukiss from 1901 until 1917, when he moved to Floyd county. He was married to Miss Howell Chapman in 1903.

Dr. Houghton had been practicing medicine in Floydada since he moved here in '17. He is a graduate of the Galveston Medical school. He took a lively interest in civic affairs and served as president of the Rotary club soon after it was organized here.

Dr. Houghton is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Aubrey A. Bishop, Dallas; three sons, Ira Houghton, T. M. Houghton, and Waldo Houghton; a sister, Mrs. D. Johnson, San Antonio, and a brother, Fred Houghton, San Angelo.

Pallbearers were J. A. Arwine, W. Edd Brown, L. T. Bishop, J. B. Claiborne, Lon Davis, and J. C. Wester.

[Note: William Mortimer Houghton was born March 11, 1868, in Pond Springs, Williamson County, Texas, son of Theodore Mortimer Houghton and Anna Eliza Rutledge. He married first Sarah Chapman in 1892 in Williamson County, and after her death in 1899, married her sister Howell Chapman in 1902, also in Williamson County. She died in 1958 in Amarillo. e.h.]3

ATTORNEY T. F. HOUGHTON DIES OF DIABETIS

End Came for Prominent Attorney and Business Man Here Last Friday Morning

Judge T. F. Houghton, a resident of Floydada since 1901, and one of the leading members of the South Plains bar, died at his home in Floydada last Friday morning at 7:30, after being confined to his bed for only two days. He had been in poor health for more than two years, however.

The funeral services were held at the Houghton home on South Main Street Saturday afternoon at three o'clock and interment was made in Floydada Cemetery at four. The fu-neral services were conducted by Rev. G. I. Britain, now of Plainview, for a number of years a resident of Floydada, and a close friend of the deceased. A large-crowd of friends of thefamily, both in and out-of-town friends, were present at the funeral service, and were in the cortege to the cemetery. The banks of the city were closed from three to four in the afternoon honoring the deceased.

Judge Houghton was forty-four years of age. He was born July 4th, 1875, at Pond Springs, Texas. Graduated from the University of Texas Law School at Austin with the class of 1900, he came to Floydada in 1901 after a short residence at Brownwood, Texas. From the time he came here until his death he enjoyed a large and remunerative practice before the bars of this and adjoining counties, and made friends in half a dozen counties, many of whom were here to do him honor Saturday afternoon.

He is survived by his wife, three daughters and one son, two brothers and two sisters. The brothers are Dr. W. M. Houghton of this city and F. C. Houghton, of San Angelo. The sisters are Mrs. A. B. Johnson of San Angelo and Mrs. Irene Robinson, of Manor, Texas.
