IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. Louella Houghton
Louella, only daughter of John and Mary Ann Klinger (sic), was born in the township of Lancaster, Grant County, Wisconsin, November 27, 1876. Early in life she was left motherless. December 26, 1892, she was united in marriage to George L Houghton of Beetown. Together they made a home near the village, where they thereafter resided. To the union were born four children: daughters Birdie (Mrs. Archie Bass) and Stella (Mrs. John (sic) Foster); and two sons Leonis (sic) and Kenneth. Less than two years ago Mr. Houghton passed suddenly into the Great Beyond.
The stricken wife bravely took up the burden laid down, remaining on the farm, and with the young son, Kenneth, doing the best she could, until advancing disease forced her to seek medical aid. After weeks of suffering, she entered the J.C. Doolittle hospital at Lancaster and submitted to an operation which was thought to be successful. However, complications appeared and the beloved mother passed away in this city, October 7, 1930, aged 53 years, ten months and ten days.
With the sons and daughters who mourn, there are three grandchildren, one half-brother: Roy Klinger, Schullsburg; two half-sisters: Mrs. Clara Gibson, Arthur, and Mrs. Bessie Cook, South Dakota; all of her lamented husband's relatives and many friends.
Mrs. Houghton was a woman of a quiet, unobtrusive manner, the key- note of whose life was absolute unselfishness and service to others. With never a thought of self, her time and energies were expended on her family and home until, broken in health, she was obliged to retire from activity. Her heart was filled with kindness and of her it can truly be said she had no enemies. She was a faithful and active member of the Beetown camp of Royal Neighbors of America, and a consistent member of the Church of Latter Day Saints. She will be sadly missed in the community.
The sorrow of her passing was typified in the beautiful floral offerings and the immense crowd that gathered to pay the last tribute of respect. In the village church at Beetown, with Rev George Willett, Methodist Episcopalian minister of Lancaster, officiating, services were held with burial by the side of her husband in the village cemetery. The Royal Neighbors gave their beautiful ritual at the grave.
