Research

I joined because I'm curious about the family name.I can trace my Howton side of my family back to approx 1577 in England.My connection is on my mother's side and the name is spelled Howton.I understand that Y DNA is from the male side of the family. I also understand that I can't contribute DNA to the project. A Thomas Howton born circa 1577 in Nottinghamshire, UK? He's the oldest Howton in my tree.

Biography

A Photographic Journey of Discovery: Women and Children Around the World by Katherine M. Houghton, Ed.D.
For many personal and professional reasons, photographer Dr. Katherine Houghton is compelled to visually depict and seek understanding of the lived experiences of women and children encountered throughout her world travels. Her exhibition, A Photographic Journey of Discovery: Women and Children Around the World, features images from the visual story captured during her two circumnavigations of the globe. About her show, Dr. Houghton says, “The purpose of my photography is not to impose my worldview, but rather expose others to multiple views and layers of the lives of women and children. Encountering the visual is a never-ending process that has neither beginning nor ending, instead it seeks to discover, uncover, and recover imagery.” Houghton’s eye for cultural context allows viewers to understand the complexities of these individuals’ challenges, whether they be historical, societal, economic, cultural, or political. “I invite the viewer to experience glimpses of the lives of these women and children by seeing, reflecting upon, and experiencing my photographs,” she says.

In addition to photography and travel, Katherine is an active advocate for access to higher education for a diversity of learners. She has been featured as a keynote speaker and presenter on topics including leadership in higher education, multicultural programming, students with invisible handicaps, higher education and single motherhood, and global issues impacting women and children. Houghton has worked in higher education administration on land and sea for over twenty years in both the United States and the Caribbean, holding positions such as administrator for the Semester at Sea program, University of Pittsburgh, and Institute for Shipboard Education; Dean of Academic Administration and Student Affairs at Ross University School of Medicine, Island of Dominica, West Indies; Vice President of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at Wilson College, Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where she established an awarding-winning residential program for single mothers and their children; and, in more recent years, Interim Academic Dean at the Art Institute of Charleston and Interim Academic Dean at The Art Institute of Cincinnati. She currently lives in Charleston, SC.

Obituary

Jan 31, 2013

Gainesville, FL, USA, Richard "Dick" Houghton was born in Plant City, Florida on September 13, 1942.

His passions included fishing, golf, Gator sports, and teaching Sunday school. Dick began working with his dad, a grocery store manager, at age 13. This would be his profession for the next 55 years, managing grocery stores. Dick met his wife Donna at a college dance in the Fall of 1963 while attending Michigan State University on an S&H Green Stamps scholarship. They were married 48 years. Though cancer would eventually take his life, it became a storm that brought them together each morning in prayer and thanksgiving.

He is survived by his wife Donna and their three children Mike Houghton, Lori Kvam, and Mark Houghton, as well as four grandchildren Bailey, Claire, Will, and Ellie.

A memorial service for Mr. Houghton will be held on Friday, February 1, 2013 at 11:00 a.m. in the Keystone United Methodist Church with Dr. Tom Farmer and Dr. Craig Moore officiating. Committal services will follow at 2:00 p.m. at Forest Meadows Central Cemetery in Gainesville. In lieu of flowers the family has requested that contributions be made to Lake Area Ministries, P.O. Box 1345, Keystone Heights, FL 32656. Arrangements are under the care of JONES-GALLAGHER FUNERAL HOME, 340 E. WALKER DR. KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, FL 32656. 352-473-3176. www.jonesgallagherfh.com
