Born June 11, 1818 in Washington County, Missouri, in 1837 he married Mary A. Raber, by whom he had eight children, five boys and three girls. Those who survive him are Michael and Harrison Horine, Cassville; Hiram Horine, Monett Township; Mrs. Thos. Carlin and Mrs. Eva Johnson, Pierce City. In the spring of 1853 he went to California but returned the next fall. In 1857 he moved to this county, which was his home until his death, which occurred Feb 8.
Sept 11, 1861, he enlisted in Co. G., 6 MO., Cav., commended by Col. Wright, and remained in the service until Oct. 27, 1864 when he was mustered out at Baton Rouge, LA. Dec 19, 1864, he was commissioned probate judge of Barry County; July 10, 1865, first lieutenant and recruiting officer for Barry, Newton and McDonald Counties; Jan 2, 1883, as postmaster at Seven Star; and Sept 17, 1889 as postmaster a t O'day, now Washburn. In 1885 he professed religion and joined the Baptist Church, with which organization he was associated until death. As a citizen and neighbor he was respected, and sincere regrets are felt over his departure. The remains were brought to Cassville, Friday and interred in the Cassville Cemetery. |
