Headline Death of Harrison Horine
Text Harrison Horine died at his home in Cassville Wednesday afternoon, January 22, 1919, at the age of 76 years, 10 months and 10 days, following an illness of long duration. He had been confined to this home nearly all of the time for the past six or eight months and had been at his place of business with the Cassville Produce & Seed Co. of which he was a member, very little for a year or two on account of his failing health.

The funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home. The services were conducted by Rev. Will Ireland, pastor of the Baptist church in this city. A large crowd of relatives and friends were in attendance. In his honor the business houses of Cassville were closed for one hour during the funeral services. Interment was made in Oak Hill cemetery.

Harrison Horine was one of Barry County's well known and highly respected citizens. He had lived in Barry County since 1858 and served the people of the county as county assessor and as public administrator with credit to himself and to the county. For many years he had been a faithful member of the Baptist church and had always been a liberal supporter of the church and it institutions.

Following the Civil war he was one of the men who took an active part in the affairs of the county and in the pursuits of peace. He was Captain of the Home Guards and did a great deal of work in helping the old soldiers with their claims. He had served as Mayor of Cassville and for years was Justice of the Peace in this township.

He was a native Missourian, having been born in Washington county, March 12, 1842. In 1856 he with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Eilas Horine, moved to Barry County. During the civil war he espoused the cause of the Union and served in the Union army. He was a Sergeant in the First Arkansas Cavalry in which so many Barry County men did serve.

Soon after he was discharged from the army at the close of the war, he was married to Miss Mary F. Keller. To them six children were born, three of whom Mrs. Julia Turner, wife of F. A. Turner, E. K. Horine and Miss Bessie, all of Cassville, are living. He is survived by his wife, three children, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. He also leaves two brothers, Michael Horine of Cassville and Hiram Horine of Monett and one sister, Mrs. Thomas Carlin of Pierce City.

As a token of the esteem and respect in which he was held as a father, brother, neighbor, friend and citizen, many beautiful floral offerings were sent to the home.
