Mr. John J. Houston
died Wednesday afternoon at the home of his son E.R. in Findley
Township, aged almost 78 years. He has been in poor health for the past
two years, but the illness which caused his death was of short
duration, the end resulting from a complication incident to advanced
age.
Most of his life he spent in Findley Township, moving to
Mercer a few years ago and was widely known and respected. He was a
member of the Second Presbyterian Church and man of unquestioned
integrity. He is survived by his wife, two sons, E.R. of Findley
Township and Walter H. Houston of Columbus, Ohio and one daughter Mrs.
R. D. Vance of Westview, Allegheny County. Three brothers, William of
Mercer, James of Findley Township, and Rev. T.A. of Darlington, and one
sister, Mrs. Mary Wilson of Findley township are also living.
Arrangements for this funeral have not been completed but will be held on Saturday afternoon at 1 o’clock.
[John J. Houston is buried in Findley Cemetery in Findley Township.]
