Houghton, William L., Ingham Mills, was born in Fulton county, March 14, 1825.
When twenty-one years of age he came to Ingham Mills, and was for nine years 
engaged in saw-mill business for the Inghams, after which he established 
himself in the blacksmithing industry, which he has carried on for thirty-
seven years here in Ingham Mills. Mr. Houghton has lately retired from 
business, and is succeeded by his son, Geo. M. Houghton. Mr. Houghton has 
served as overseer of the poor for two terms, justice of the peace, etc., and 
is much respected by all who know him. He married Miss L. La Due, and has only 
one child living. Mr. Houghton's father, Richard Houghton, was in the war of 
1812, and his grandfather in the Revolution
