Horn was a son of Christopher and Rebecca Rose-Horn, and the last member of that well-known family in the east end of Greene county, consisting of six children, four sons, and two daughters, all of whom, with their parents, have passed to the great beyond. Mr. Horn, the subject of this sketch, was born and reared on the home farm grew to manhood, and learned the cooper trade, and did considerable in this line of work proceeding the Civil War. He was united in marriage with Eliza Ridgway of that community on January 26, 1860. Seven children were born to this union, five of whom with the widow survive him. Samuel L., died in 1895; Dora, who has remained at home with her aged parents; Mrs. G. W. Charles, of Beloit, Kan.; W. F. of Topeka; Harry A. died at Portland, Ore., in 1909; Mrs. M. W. Sergrist of Holton, and Nevada, wife of Henry Torgeson, of Council Grove, Kan. Also seven grandchildren. In 1866 Mr. Horn left his home farm and located at Jefferson, Greene county, becoming the proprietor and operator of the “water” power mills at that place, where he continued to live, until the spring of 1882, when he sold out all his property and came to Doniphan county, Kansas, and after residing near Troy for eleven years, he moved to Jackson county, where he engaged in farming, until he sold his farm, and retired to Holton in 1912, where he has resided at his home at 523 Illinois Ave. Mr. Horn was a Whig voter, and a strong Republican … lived through a long period of years that marked wondrous changes in all lines of industry. He made local trips to Pittsburg, Pa., before a railroad entered that city. He lived near the old “National Pike,” the National road from the Ohio river to Baltimore, over which the old “Conestoga” wagons hauled all the freight, both east and west, and over all the western drovers drove their cattle, sheep and hogs to the eastern markets. He harvested grain with a “sickle,” a “cradle,” and a reaper long before a self-binder was ever heard of; telegraphs, telephones, horse-cars, electric cars, automobiles, along with scores and hundreds of other useful inventions have all come into common use since he was a boy fishing along the Monongahela river. Mr. Horn and the city of Chicago were born the same year, and Kansas was yet an unknown as a territory, or state, but was a voter when the “Kansas and Nebraska Bill” was signed by President Pierce in 1854. In his earlier years he united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church at Clarksville and later, with his wife, joined the same church at Jefferson, where he for some years was superintendent of the Sunday school … The Holton Recorder, November 2, 1922.
