He was born in Clearfield County, February 15, 1863, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hout. His parents moved to this county when he was a pre-school child and he had lived here until his death. He was employed in the Hercules Powder Company and also in the Local Tannery. He was married to Margaret Brechtl [Prechtl] on January 14, 1889. For the past three years he had been confined to a wheel chair but kept a cheerful outlook on life. Although and invalid, his death was sudden and unexpected. He is survived by six children: Henry of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. William (Clara) Webster, Buffalo; Mrs. Floyd (Margaret) Specht, Kenvil, N.J.; Mrs. Ray (Mary) Housler, George Jr., Mrs. Thomas (Julia) Cleary, all of Emporium.
