Author: William Henry Perrin (1883)

  A. W. HORNING, Principal of Schools, Hutsonville, was born July 2, 1854, near
New Lebanon, Ohio. At the age of eleven years, his father purchased a farm in
Crawford County, to which he moved in 1865. Owing to a great amount of labor
that was to be performed on the farm, the great distance from the schoolhouse,
and adverse circumstances, he was deprived of the educational advantages offered
by the common schools. On attaining his majority, he entered the normal school
at Valparaiso, which he attended one year. On returning horn he began teaching,
which occupation he followed during the fall and winter months, and during the
spring and summer months attended school. On his return from school in 1880, was
elected President of the Crawford County Teachers' Association, which position
he held until 1882. In the spring of 1882, was appointed Principal of the
Hutsonville schools, which position he has since retained. Politically, he is a
Republican, a firm believer in the principles of total abstinence from all that
intoxicates, and an earnest advocate of all that has a tendency to elevate the
morals of mankind.
