LYDIA HOUGHTON and BABY (buried together) SHROUDED IN GLOOM. Mrs. Elijah Houghton and Mrs. Bernard Jacobs Respond to Final Summons-Both Victims of Consumption. The cloud of sorrow caused by the death of an infant son had not yet lifted from the bereaved home of Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Houghton 'ere the husband and father was once more called upon to drink from the bitter cup which sooner or later is held to the lips of everyone. At an early hour this morning, the beloved wife departed this transitory life and joined the little one in realms of endless day. Mrs. Houghton had been ill for some time and although loved ones hoped against hope for the better, it was not to be. Quick consumption developed and she faded like the snow before the warm sun of the springtime. For many days she has been confined to her bed, where she has been tenderly cared for by the devoted husband and relatives, nothing that could give her pleasure or relief from pain was counted as too great a sacrifice by those who watched at the bedside. Here was a lovable and unselfish nature and even the severe suffering of the past few months was borne with cheerfulness. Her thoughts were constantly for the comfort of those who cared for her and as the end drew nigh she became more hopeful. A merciful Father has taken her to Himself e'er she had known much of the sorrow and trouble which life holds for all and under which her gentle spirit would undoubtedly have been crushed. Mrs. Houghton was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Pasewalk and was born in this city in 1876, being but 23 years of age at the time of her death. Her mother died some years ago, but the father still survives. Two sisters are also left to mourn her demise. In 1897, Miss Pasewalk was united in marriage to Elijah Houghton and one son came to bless the union. A second child was born Wednesday but died at birth. The mother failed rapidly since then and at 6:30 this morning the struggle ended. Her's is now the joy everlasting, but to the dear ones left behind there is the bitter sorrow of bereavement. To the aged father, the loving sisters and the grief stricken husband, whose bride has left him e'er their honeymoon was over, the sympathy of the entire community will be extended. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon from the late home. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Saturday, December 9, 1899 P.1 ********* TO AWAIT GLORIOUS MORN. HOUGHTON. The last sad tribute to the memory of Mrs. Elijah Houghton, was paid Monday afternoon when friends and relatives, assembled at the home where funeral services were held. Rev. Romoser conducted the services and spoke words of comfort to the bereaved hearts. The floral tributes were most beautiful and the sympathy of the community was apparent in the large attendance. The funeral cortege following the remains to their last earlty resting place in Evergreen was large and when the cemetery was reached, the remains of the infant son were taken from the vault, where they had been placed, and in the same grave both caskets were tenderly lowered, the last service said, and the sorrowing friends dispersed with thoughtful faces.

WALTER L. HOUGHTON (d. 1976) MISSING BOY IS NOW LISTED AS WOUNDED Although receiving no further word from the war department, other than the telegram last week announcing that their son, Walter L. Houghton, who left here with Company H and later was sent to France, had been missing in action since Aug. 4, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Houghton, Sr., had their hopes revived that their son probably was still alive by a casualty list published in a Milwaukee paper last night listing “Walter L. Houghton, of Manitowoc, wounded; degree undetermined.” Why this name should appear under thin heading in the casualty list when no further word had been received from the war department was puzzling to his parents here. They had already directed inquiries to the war department and the Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland to find out if the local young man might not be in a German prison camp. Manitowoc Herald News, Thursday, October 10, 1918, Page 5 ********* RED CROSS MESSAGE SAYS WALTER HOUGHTON, OF THIS CITY, MISSING, IS PRISONER, GERMAN CAMP A message received through the Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland, and transmitted from Washington, D.C., to this city this afternoon stated that Walter L. Houghton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Houghton, North Fourth street, this city, is a prisoner in a German camp. Young Houghton was recently reported “missing in action” by the war department. It added that the date was August 4, over two months ago. This message was received some days ago and immediately efforts were made through the local Red Cross to trace Houghton, to find out if he was in a German prison camp. The message today is a big relief to his parents here. Manitowoc Herald News, Saturday, October 12, 1918, Page 5 ********* GET CARD FROM SON IN GERMAN PRISON CAMP Walter Houghton, Jr., who Left with H and who was Captured by Germans Aug. 4 Wires from Camp that He is Well Mr. and Mrs. Walter Houghton, No. Fourth street, whose son Walter Houghton, Jr., who left here with Company H, and who was taken prisoner over 3 months ago, in the fighting on the west front, and is now, in a German prison camp, have at last heard from him. A card came last night, by special delivery, from the German camp in which Houghton gives his name and complete address with the added information that he is well and enjoying good health. From the information in the card it is evident that the camp is near Linburg, Germany, but there is a red ink notation, “Do not reply to Linburg. Await further information.” This card was dated September 2, so that it was more than two months in getting here. It probably was delivered to the Red Cross and by then transmitted to Switzerland, then to France and finally to this country. Houghton was a member of Company F, 128 US Infantry, Thirty Second division. This division was in the thick of the fighting the first week in August, in the Siossons-Rhiems pocket and young Houghton was no doubt taken prisoner in the fierce hand to hand fighting with the Germans, that characterized the American attack in that sector. At first he was reported “missing in action” by the war department under date of August 4. Then his parents here got busy and through the local Red Cross, working with the Red Cross at Geneva, Switzerland, traced their son to a German prison camp. The card from young Houghton, received last night, assures his parents that he is well, and relieves them of any further anxiety. Manitowoc Herald News, Thursday, November 07, 1918, Page 4

Mrs. Hoyer, deceased, was a Dobbert daughter. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Monday, May 9, 1921 P. 5 ********** Will Probe Death of Local Boy MYSTERY IN THE DEATH OF ROY HOYER, PROBED Suicide Theory Does Not Satisfy Police At Milwaukee Mystery shrouds the death of Roy Hoyer, former local boy, a son of John N. Hoyer, of Green Bay, at Milwaukee and reports today hint at an investigation of the theory that the death of the Manitowoc boy was not due to suicide, but that he may have been a victim of foul play. The report filed with the police department say death was due to strangulation. The body of the dead youth was found hanging in the shop of the Wisconsin Electrical Specialty company, 421 Third street, by which concern he was employed, Monday morning when the shop was opened by employes. The cord by which the body had been suspended was not frayed but indicated cutting, it was reported to the police. VOICES IN PLACE The fact that voices were heard in the room where the body was found more than an hour after Hoyer was last seen, is among the most potent elements in a murder theory on which the police are at work. Officials of the coroner's office say that the condition of the rope holding the body is not acceptable as evidence of foul play as in the final throes of strangulation the victim often attempts to free himself and the severed rope might be due to this. MOTHER'S DAY TRAGEDY Otto Reffke, a companion of young Hoyer, said that the dead boy had been despondent becuase of Mother's Day, his mother being dead. Reffke said that when they discussed Mother's Day Hoyer burst into tears and that later the young man had taken a walk by himself and that he had not seen him after that. BOY REARED HERE News of the death of Hoyer was received here yesterday but the message gave no details, and Milwaukee papers today gave the first report of the tragedy. John Hoyer, father of the dead youth, passed through here from Green Bay last night and had no information further than contained in a telegram saying his son had died suddenly. The dead youth was reared in this city and attended the local schools, graduating from the high school with the class of 1917. He has made his home at Milwaukee for some time. FUNERAL HELD HERE The body will be brought from Milwaukee this afternoon and funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the home of William Dobbert, with interment at Evergreen cemetery. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Tuesday, May 10, 1921 P. 1 ********** Seek Sweetheart Of Boy In Death Probe MYSTERY OF THE DEATH OF ROY HOYER UNSOLVED Downer College Girl May Be Able to Shed Light on the Case Was a love affair responsible for the death of Roy Hoyer, former Manitowoc boy, whose dead body was found in the shop of the Wisconsin Electrial Specialty Co., of which he was an officer, at Milwaukee Monday morning? This is a possibility Milwaukee authorities are investigating in an effort to solve the death of Hoyer which is attended by the most mysterious circumstances and while the theory that the youth, whose body was brought here and buried today, has been abandoned, the investigation has not ended. Inquiry is being made to establish the identity of a former sweetheart of Hoyer, said to be a student at Downer college and to secure an explanation of the return to the dead youth a diamond ring, said to have been sent back to him a week ago. Evidence that Hoyer was in love with the girl, whose name is not known, came to light when Otto Reffke, and official of the company and close friend of Hoyer, told reporters that a week ago he was given a small package by Hoyer, who said "put it in your safety deposit vault. It is worth about $200." SENDS DIAMOND RING "I was supicious of the package and when Hoyer left I looked inside," Rippke said. "It contained a beautiful diamong ring and a piece of paper that read: "To Roy Hoyer, 837 Second St., From Downer college," I never heard him refer to this girl." "Hoyer never had much to say Sunday morning I was with him and when he saw men going along the street asked what they were wearing flowers for. When I told him it was Mothers' Day he became melancholy and went over in the corner and began to cry. "When his body was found here Monday I naturally assumed that he had committed suicide, but the position in which the body was found seems strange." A wide divergence of certain details in the stories of persons who talked with Hoyer before Sunday noon were presented to authorities. SCOUTS FLOWER THEORY While Reffke told of the flower incident that might have led Hoyer into a melancholy stage grieving over the recent death of his mother, William Dobbert, an uncle, who went to Milwaukee to look into the case, declared that he had learned that on Saturday night Hoyer had purchased the flower that he was to wear Sunday. Hoyer's body was found lying about three feet away from the spot above which was found the cord that had apparently been used in his hanging. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Wednesday, May 11, 1921 P. 1 ******** HOYER SCOUTS SUICIDE IN THE DEATH OF SON Circumstances surrounding the finding of the body, the fact that the cord about the neck was fastened below the collar so that the collar had to be removed to find it, and other facts lead John N. Hoyer, Green Bay, father of Roy Hoyer, whose body was brought here for burial yesterday, to scout the theory of suicide as the cause of the lad's death and he declared today, when he departed for Milwaukee to continue investigations, that he would insist upon a complete probe into the death. "I cannot conceive Roy ending his own life. His letters have been cheerful, he was doing well in business and appeared to be confident of the future and there is absolutely no reason for suicide." said Mr. Hoyer. The dead youth had $1,000 invested in business and is said to have had savings of a like amount. Keys to a safety deposit box were not found, it is said. Manitowoc Herald News, Manitowoc, Wis. Thursday, May 12, 1921 P. 1 ******** [bur. 05-11-1921/age 21 yrs/cause: suicide by hanging/bur on John Spindler lot]
