Houck, 79, well-known resident and for many years a prominent farmer of Kirkland Township, died at 3:40 o'clock this morning at the St. Joseph Hospital in Fort Wayne, where he was taken last Saturday when he became stricken with appendicitis. Mr. Houck had been residing with his daughter, Mrs. Olga Narweiler, of Fort Wayne for the last few months and had been in fairly good health until last Saturday. When Mr. Houck became stricken he was taken to the St. Joseph Hospital. Because of his advanced age, an operation was advised against. Mr. Houck died at 3:40 o'clock this morning. George M. T. Houck was born in Mahoning County, Ohio, July 19, 1849. When four years of age he moved to Adams County with his parents and spent the rest of his life in this county with the exception of the last few months. In 1872, Mr. Houck was married to Mary Cline, who preceded him in death in 1919. Five children survive. They are, Charles H. Houck, of Muncie; Hattie Crum, Honduras; Lillian Sprague, Hartford City; Rolla Houck, Peterson and Olga Barweiler, Fort Wayne. Mr. Houck was a member of the Christian Union Church of Honduras and for 41 years was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge of this city. The local Odd Fellows Lodge will have charge of the services.
