SOURCE- American Civil War Soldiers, about Ai Vanhorn ============= -Email from Janet Marion VanHorn Thorngate, 03/19/2009: Ai had a medical discharge from the Army after the Civil War because of injuries (I think suffered at Vicksburg) and I seem to recall that he was nearly blind from them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ AI VAN HORN, farmer, Sec. 17; P. O. Welton; born in Harrison Co., Va., in 1823; his parents, Bernard and Elizabeth Van Horn, removed to Ohio in 1829. He married Amaranda Loofboro; they removed to Peoria Co., Ill., in 1851; came to Clinton Co. in 1856. Mr. Van Horn enlisted in the 26th I. V. I. in 1862; was discharged on account of disability, in 1863; was at the battle of Arkansas Post and at the siege of Vicksburg. From the book "The History of Clinton County Iowa" by L. P. Allen (1879) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 45, No 29, p 464, July 18, 1889. Ai Van Horn was born in Harrison Co., W. Va., Dec. 3, 1828, and died at his home in Welton, Iowa, July 9, 1889, aged 65 years, 7 months and 6 days. Bro. Van Horn made a profession of religion in early manhood and, not having Seventh-day Baptist privileges he united with a First-day Baptist church, but was allowed to keep the Sabbath. He moved to Welton, Iowa, in 1856 and united with the Welton Seventh-day Baptist Church. In 1862 he enlisted in Co. F., 26 Iowa, Vol. Inft., and served his country until discharged, because of inability. He was married to Miss Amaranda Loofboro (Whose death occurred just fourteen days before his, a notice of which appeared in Recorder of July 4th), on the 13th of April, 1847. He received a partial stroke of paralysis in the fall of 1887, from which he had so far recovered as to be able to attend church and do something in the line of work. A little less than one year ago the dread disease of cancer made its appearance, and proved fatal as above noted. He was an earnest worker in the church and in all reforms, and in his death the church has lost an earnest friend and worker. The family in this its double sorrow, have the sympathy of the entire community as was attested by the large concourse of people which attended the funeral, and also his comrades in arms who were present as an escort to his last resting place. J. T. D. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Ai mentioned by the Book of Joshua is also mentioned by the Book of Genesis as having been a religious sanctuary, which it claims was founded by Abraham; Abraham's tent, i.e. the area he settled, is stated by the Bible to have been between Bethel and Ai. In the Book of Joshua, chapter 7-8, in the Bible, the Israelites attempt to conquer Ai on two occasions, the first in Joshua 7 failing. The Biblical account portrays the failure as being due to a prior sin of Achan; for which Achan, his children, sheep, and other livestock, are stoned to death (his wife is not mentioned so it is believed that he might be a widower) by the Israelites. On the second attempt in Joshua 8, Joshua, who is identified by the narrative as the leader of the Israelites, plans and leads an ambush at the rear of the city on the western side. When the city is captured, it is set on fire and razed to the ground. "So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins" --Joshua 8:28 NIV. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
