General Notes: Husband - Dalbert Wallace Houston


He was reared on the family farm and educated in the country district schools and at the normal school at Newville, Pennsylvania. After the death of his father, he, for one year, continued to do the farming, but after that gave his entire attention to his trade, carpentering and cabinetmaking.
After marriage he and his wife settled in Carlisle. Mr. Houston for ten years continuously worked in the sash and door factory of Messrs. Gardner & Co. Subsequently he worked for three years in the planing-mill of Vance & Co., and later formed a partnership with Daniel Rupp under the firm name of Houston & Rupp, at cabinet making, repairing and upholstering.
