==Early life and career==
John Houston was born to Samuel J. and Sarah H. (Nieves) Houston on a farm near the small town of Formoso in Jewell County, Kansas, in September 1890.〔("Kansans in U.S. Congress," ''Kansapedia,'' 2010. )〕〔''Nomination of Albert Cummins Beeson to be a Member of the National Labor Relations Board,'' 1954, p. 72.〕 His father was a wealthy businessman who owned a lumber yard.〔Connelley, ''History of Kansas State and People: Kansas at the First Quarter Post of the Century,'' 1928, p. 2422.〕 He attended public school in Wichita, Kansas, from the first to fifth grade.〔 He then entered St. John's Military School in Salina, Kansas, graduating in 1905 after two years.〔〔Rosow, ''American Men in Government: A Biographical Dictionary and Directory of Federal Officials,'' 1949, p. 190.〕 He graduated Fairmount College (now known as Wichita State University) in Wichita, Kansas, in 1906, having focused on business administration.〔〔〔
From 1906 to 1912 he worked a series of odd jobs, but then became an actor on the theatrical stage with the Harry Frazee company.〔 He was with the Frazee troupe from 1912 to 1917.〔〔 At the outbreak of World War I, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and was one of 19 men selected to act as President Woodrow Wilson's honor guard.〔 He also served as a Marine guard at the State, War and Navy Building in Washington, D.C., and for a few months was the military orderly for United States Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels.〔
After the war, he returned to Kansas. He was manager of the Houston-Doughty Lumber Co. (the firm his father co-owned) from 1917 to 1935.〔 During his tenure as manager of the firm, he also served a term as president of the Kansas Lumbermen's Association and as a member of the board of directors of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce.〔〔Stark, "Houston Named to Labor-Board," ''New York Times,'' March 6, 1943.〕 He married Charlotte Stellhorn of St. Louis, Missouri, on May 28 in 1919〔 (some sources say 1920).〔 The couple had two children, Patricia (1922) and Robert (1925). Houston was elected mayor of Newton, Kansas, in 1927, serving two two-year terms.〔〔 He was elected secretary of the Kansas Democratic State Central Committee in 1934, serving for a year.〔 Houston was also active in the American Legion and in Freemasonry.〔
