Houston delayed marriage until 52 (like his older brother Austin who married at 55). Houston married Ida Elizabeth Williams Stephens, with 3 children on December 27, 1936. May Beasley, wife of Chester Arthur Beasley, had a comment about Houston and his step-children. "Houston took his step-children into his heart as if they were his own and really loved them all dearly. There was a boy, 'Pony', and two girls, Edna and Grace. When they married, our daughter, Virginia was 12 years old, the same age as Grace and she was a little 'miffed' at having to share her uncle with Grace. Edna (Walling) of Wichita, Kansas is now deceased; Pony and wife live in Midland, Texas; and Grace (Bullard), now widowed, lives in Las Cruces, NM." Per the obituary of 1954, Pony kept his name Stevens and lived in Tyler, Texas.(Info Per the Beasley Connection volume 2: (this portion written about 1984)(sent by Mark Arthur Beasley of Edgewood, New Mexico to Kenneth Ned Beasley on March 22, 2010).
