LYDIA HOUGHTON and BABY (buried together) cemetery #44

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.

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. The 
pall bearers were Ira Edwards, John Smalley, Daniel Mangin, 
Daniel Danielson, Daniel Fitzgerald and J. Deguine.

WALTER L. HOUGHTON  (d. 1976)  cemetery #44

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.

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.

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.

Wright, who passed away several years ago. January 1, 1924, she was 
married to Thomas J. Howells at Chicago, where the couple have since 
made their home. Mrs. Howells was a high type of womanhood and her many 
virtues were recognized by everyone who knew her. Her death is a sad 
blow to her husband, parents, brothers and sister.

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.

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.

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.
