Houghton Family Culver & Union Township Marshall County Indiana  

Rev. Dr. John W. Houghton says of he family and properties:

James and John Houghton, who were pioneers in southern Indiana, then came up here with the first wave of settlement in Marshall County in the 1830s. John's son-in-law, Bayless Dixon (he was married to Emma Houghton) founded Union Town in the south-west part of his farm in 1844, then sold it to John's son, Thomas K. Houghton, which is when the name was changed to Marmont.

Then Thomas K. Houghton sold the north part of the farm — the part that wasn't in the village of Marmont — to my own great-great-grandfather, James's son, Thomas Houghton. That chunk adjoined grandfather Thomas's main farm, on the northwest corner of 17th Road and Highway 17, across from the old Three Sisters. Over the years slices of what grandfather Thomas bought from his cousin have been gradually added back on to the north edge of town, most recently my great-aunt Ethel's land across from the high school.

Few men in Indiana are more widely known than Hon John Bender a leading politician and prominent attorney of Plymouth who was born in the state of Pennsylvania near the city of Carlisle Cumberland county on the 26th day of January indiana_map_1827parents were Jacob and Jane Dobbs Bender natives respectively of Cumberland and Juniatta counties Penn the father miller and farmer by occupation and a descendant of ancestors who were among the earliest settlers of Virginia in time of the colonies Jacob Bender was an industrious and upright citizen of strong religious tendency and a prominent member of the United Brethren church

The family came to a number of years ago and settled in that part of which belongs the of Stark where where Mr Bender purchased a farm and afterward engaged in the manufacture of flour Of the children born to Jacob and Jane Bender the following are living the subject of this biography Robert H present auditor of Stark county Susan J wife of Edward Tibbetts Adaline wife of Lorenzo D Glazebrook and Jacob G commercial traveler of Goshen Ind John S Bender spent first ten years of his life near the city of Carlisle Penn and moved with his parents to Wayne county Ohio locating near city of Wooster where he attended school at the village of Millbrook during the years 1838 39 In the spring of the latter the father took charge of a mill in Millbrook which he for some time the subject assisting him and attending school intervals

In 1840 they removed to Shreve Ohio in whic hthe subject attended school during the winter seasons and assisted in the mill the rest of the year becoming thoroughly familiar with the miller's trade In 1843 he accompanied his parents to Richland county Ohio locating near the city of Mansfield where the family remained three years during which time he attended school and worked in the mill of nights

The family came to Marshall county in 1846 and settled in that part of the county which has since been added to the county of Stark and here John S assisted in building the first school house in the latter county He taught school in the winter of 1846 47 and in the latter year did general farm work and also engaged in rafting on the Kankakee river In 1848 he took charge of the North Liberty Mills St Joseph county with his father and continued business there until the destruction of the mill by a cyclone in the year 1850

In the meantime he became severely afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism in consequence of which he was compelled to abandon milling and for several years thereafter taught school in St Joseph and Stark counties

In 1850 51 and 1852 he attended the high school at South Bend where he made rapid progress in his studies Having a decided taste for the scientific branches he read extensively upon the subjects of astronomy natural philosophy geology mineralogy etc besides giving considerable attention to mathematics and the classics in all of which he became thoroughly well informed

In 1852 he began the practice of surveying and civil engineering which he continued as often as his abilities in this direction were required for a number of years

His health failing him in 1856 he was compelled to relinquish the duties of active life and at the solicitation of his friends was induced to make the race for the clerk and auditorship of Stark county to which office he was elected and the duties of which he discharged in a highly satisfactory manner four years refusing a re election

In the meantime he had given considerable attention to the legal profession having become well informed in the same by extensive reading and on retiring from the office of auditor he turned his attention almost exclusively to the practice of law in Marshall Stark and other counties

Mr Bender has been an important factor in the political history of northern Indiana having entered politics when a young man and continued in the same ever since He was educated in the political faith of the democratic party with which he affiliated until the breaking out of the late war and which he represented as a delegate in a number of state conventions

His first recognition as a delegate was in the democratic state convention in 1859 in the deliberations of which he took a very active and prominent part Becoming dissatisfied with the policy of the democratic party at the breaking out of the rebellion he severed his allegiance from the same and cast his first republican vote for Abraham Lincoln when the latter made his second race for the presidency He opposed Lincoln's first election voting for his competitor Stephen A Douglas for whom he did valuable service during the campaign as a speaker and political writer

Mr Bender was uncompromisingly in favor of prosecuting the war and used all of his energies toward raising troops and furnishing supplies spending freely of his own money in this laudable work Owing to injury received a number of years previous which unfitted him for active service in the field he was reluctantly compelled to remain out of the army though offered the position of civil engineer with the pay of colonel

In 1864 he was a delegate to the republican state convention and was similarly honored in every state convention from that year to 1876 inclusive

A close and conscientious student of political economy Mr Bender gave a great deal of attention to financial matters and becoming satisfied that the republican party did not occupy the proper position upon this great question he became member of the national greenback party in 1878 since which time he has been one of the exponents of its principles and strongest advocates in this part of the state In 1879 he helped to construct an entirely new platform for the party having been a delegate to the national convention that year in which he served on the platform committee He was again chosen delegate to the national convention held in St Louis in 1880 in which he also served upon the committee to prepare a platform and was the author of the first resolution in favor of the enfranchisement of women ever offered in a national convention

Mr Bender as a postmaster of Stark for some time by appointment Abraham Lincoln It will thus be seen that his life has been a active one and his abilities which are recognized as of a order have been given almost exclusively to public affairs is not unknown to the literary world having contributed to a of periodicals besides publishing several more pretentious works among the best known of which are Hoosier s Experience in Europe and Money Its Definition

In the field journalism he has had considerable experience having conducted The Ptymouth Republican a political paper from 1868 1875 He is a clear and trenchant writer a close reasoner eminently fair in the discussion of political questions Mr was married in 1855 to Miss Maggie Bowers daughter of Bowers of Richland county Ohio She died in 1856

In 1858 Mr Bender's marriage with Miss Rachel Houghton of James Houghton of England and an early settler Marshall county was consummated
