Charles Chandler Houghton -
He was born in Canaan, Essex, Vermont, on the 25th day of April 1825, and after receiving his education in the schools of his native town, he started out to earn a living. The year was now 1848, and at just 23 years of age, Charles Chandler Houghton, would arrive in Worcester, Mass. In 1853, C.C. Houghton & Co., began, manufacturing boots and shoes, at Lincoln Square. In 1858, his brother, Alba Houghton, Jr., would join his firm, in partnership. There were many other partners over the years: Samuel R. Heywood; H.B. Adams; and W. E. Warren. In 1884, his son, Frank Newton Houghton, would enter the large factory of his fathers manufacturing business. By 1889, the firm consisted of C.C. Houghton, Frank N. Houghton, and Edgar W. Warren; and was now located in Houghton's block, corner of Front Street and Salem Square, where Mr. Houghton, owned the brick block, occupied by the firm, which was five stories high, with four stores on the ground floor. Mr. Houghton, was a large investor in real estate, owning large amounts of realty as far back as 1870. Mr. Houghton, was the oldest director of the First National Bank. In politics, he was always a Republican, with prohibition leanings. He was an Alderman from Ward 4 in 1880 and 1881, under Frank H. Kelly. In May 1890, Mr. Houghton, with his wife, and two of their daughters, made an extended trip to Europe, traveling in Syria, a considerable part of the time. Just three years later, in 1893, Mr. Houghton, would retire.
Charles Chandler Houghton, a pioneer in the manufacture of boots and shoes would die, at his home, 402 Grafton Street, on the 6th day of March 1901, in Worcester, Mass., the town he had called his home for some 53 years. His death would remove one of the best known men of Worcester, whose success was brought about by persistent hard work. He had married Miss Elvira L. Newton, of Vernon, Vermont, in 1855, and Worcester, was always their home. She, along with four of their children survived him. Mrs. H. L. Whithed, living in Grand Forks, North Dakota; Mrs. Frank L. Dean, Worcester; Miss Lavinia Houghton, who lived at home; and Frank N. Houghton, living on Grafton Street, who was interested in the business in Somersworth, New Hampshire.
Charles C. Houghton, would be laid to rest in the beautiful "Rural Cemetery." He would later be moved to the historic "Hope Cemetery," upon the completion of the Houghton Mausoleum, where he would come to his final rest, among the many men and women, who had shaped Worcester's history. There, in the Houghton Mausoleum, which is filled now, with the many souls of his beloved family. May they all be blessed in peace...

Designed as a minature Gothic Chapel, was erected in 1903 by Troy White Granite Co., which had offices on East Worcester Street, from 1900 to 1910.
