I've "rescued" an old photograph of Will E. HOUGHTON which was taken at the P. Peterson Studio in Lake Crystal, Minnesota. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Will listed as 23 years and 8 months old at the time the photograph was taken. I am hoping to locate someone from this HOUGHTON Family so that the photograph can be returned to their care. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Shelley I searched the Houghton database but do not find an immediate match. If you would be willing to scan the photo, I can place it in the unknown photo section. -- Charlie Charles J.
