 Acie Benjamine Houk was
 born in the aftermath of
 the civil war in central
 Missouri and from the records
 I have he spent his entire 
 life there. 

 As it turns out he lived
 near others with names that
 pop up in the family tree
 like the McDaniels, the
 Williamsons and the
 Zimmermans. Because of
 this I was getting side
 tracked everytime I got 
 started on this page. 

 A photo of his tombstone
 is in the cemetery section
 of the HoukFamilyTree.
