Joseph J. Houston was the son of William Marion Houston and Susan Ann (Carter) Houston. After Joseph was born, the family moved from Missouri to Nemaha County, Kansas and then to Lexington Township in Johnson County, Kansas. Although the obit says his name was Joseph Jefferson Houston, my grandfather, John William Houston, always said his father's middle name was 'John' instead of 'Jefferson'.
Joe had a plant/tree nursery and was a beekeeper. He married Christina Carolina Freeburg on April 29, 1881 in Olathe, Johnson, Kansas per "Kansas Marriages, 1840-1935". The attached obit incorrectly lists Christina Carolina's aunt , Christina Charlotta Freeburg, as Joe's wife!
Children of Joe and Christina Houston were: Frank Owen, John William, Arthur Marion, Della Clara died as a child, Walter Dale, Verl Raymond, Maude Melvina Houston married Rolland Whitehurst Abbott, and Maybel Mae Houston married Raymond Knelange.
Joseph J. Houston died in Humansville on Sept. 2, 1909 and was buried in De Soto on Sept. 4, 1909 per Newspaper Obituary.
