George HOUGHTON b. 3 Feb 1855 Dedham, MA d. 18 May 1919 Portland, OR b. River View Cemetery Portland, OR (I do not know who George's wife was....there is no mention of her in any of my records?) Son of: George HOUGHTON and Alice ENREY Brother of Ella Florence HOUGHTON b. Dedham, MA Half brother of : James Alexander HOUGHTON b. Dedham, MA before the Civil War Father of: Ella Florence HOUGHTON b. Portland, OR Other names connected: QUIRK STUART DUNNE FLYNN LYNCH CARPENTER ENERY/ENREY Perhaps LITHERLAND or PALMER as Alice Diantha LITHERLAND PALMER was buried in a plot owned in Lone Fir Cemetery in Portland, OR owned by George HOUGHTON. She is buried in a six grave plot with Rollo LITHERLAND, Francis Lowell LITHERLAND, George HOUGHTON, Charles V. HOUGHTON, Margaret C. HOUGHTON and another George HOUGHTON in that order. Alice Diantha LITHERLAND PALMER was moved to Riverview Cemetery beside her husband and son. Interesting as George HOUGHTON must have be moved also to Riverview as it is noted his permanent resting place is there also???

I have Kilburns and Houghtons who were associated about that time in Martin/Daviess Co., Indiana...also a common denominator was a Robertson/Robinson family. Does this sound familiar? Michele

I have probate papers for a Jonathan Houghton who died on or about 25 July l838 in Peoria, Illinois. He apparently was in a shoe business with an Elias Woods in Craftsbury, Vermont about 30 June l837 and another business in Peoria, Illinois about July l838 with R. L. Kilburn. This is not my Jonathan and I will send these papers to anyone for reimbursement of the postage. It cost $3.50 to send it to me from Illinois, so should be under $5. Contact me at enugent@alveus.com if interested. Mrs. Erdine McMichael Nugent of Vancouver, WA
