Note. — Calvin M. Bough ton was a natural mechanic and
his abilities were early recognized, and while yet an appren-
tice he was put in charge of his master's shop. By indom-
itable purpose he secured a good education by studying
evenings, and when out of nis time he went in 1836 to
Watertown, Wis., and took up government land, built a
saw mill, and was one of the most active members of the
M. E. church in erecting one of the first church edifices in
Wisconsin. He amassed a liberal fortune with which he
purposed to give his children a good education, but both he
and his wife died, she December, 1866, he October 1, 1857.
Through their guardian the property of the children was
squandered, and John W. was compelled to leave Lawrence
university before graduating, subsequently devoting him-
self to teaching and farm work until he entered the army.

John W. Houghton's War Record, and subsequent.
He enlisted at Ripon, Wis., August 19, 1861 (when but
nineteen years old), in Co. A, 1st Wisconsin Cavalry, for
three years. The regiment remained at Kenosha till March,
1862, when it was sent to Harton Barracks, St. Louis,
where it was equipped and he detailed to the quarter-mas-
ter's department and put in charge of the stores, acting
commissary. The regiment moved to Cape Girardeau,
where he had charge of the store-houses. In 1863 the regi-
ment was sent to Nashville to strengthen Gen. Rosecrans'
command, with whom the regiment remained until the fall
of Atlanta. The transportation of large trains of supplies
in his charge were often in great danger, but were success-
fully accomplished. After being in the service three and-a-
half years he asked leave of absence for two weeks of Gen .
McCook, but being refused went to a mustering officer and
was mustered out June, 1865, not having been home for
about two years. On returning to St. Louis Gen. McCook
received him very kindly and invited him to his room and
offered him a glass of whisky, which was refused, and ever
after, when treating other officers, would apologize by say-
ing to them, ** the ueutenant never drinks." After serving
as quarter-master in place of the regularly commissioned
officer for a long time, the efficiency with which the service
was conducted was rewarded to him by a commission as first
lieutenant and quarter- master of the regiment. He was in
seventeen engagements under fire during his service without
ever being wounded. After returning home he went to
taking out various patents, one of which P. T. Harnum
became interested in, and through a friend of his engaged
in manufacturing in New York city, 1867; but through in-
fringements was compelled to commence a new enterprise,
in which a stock company was formed and he was made a
stockholder and a director; but the business was not con-
ducted to his satisfaction. He left in 1871 and went to
Philadelphia and obtained a large factory for manufactur-
ing interior decorations, wood carpeting, etc. , which proved
a lucrative business; but the factory was burned September,
1884, by which many thousands of dollars were lost; but a
670 BouTON-BouGHTON Family,
new building was erected, and the business at this writing,
1890, is larger than ever before and continually increasing.
He is a member of the Trinity M. E. church of Philadelphia,
and often called to serve it in an official capacity.
