Isaac Vore Horney was born in Richmond, Wayne. Co., Ind., in 1839, eldest of 
two children of Solomon and Ruth W. (Vore) Horney. His father was a native of 
Guilford County, N.J., and settled in Wayne County, Ind., in 1832. He was 
married in Richmond and established the first plow manufactory in that city, 
known as the Horney Plow Works, where he was successfully engaged a number of 
years. Isaac V. was educated in the schools of Richmond and also attended 
Commercial College in Dayton, Ohio, one term. At the age of eighteen years he 
entered his father's shops where he was engaged twelve years, and in 1869 he 
purchased the farm where he has since resided. His farm contains seventy-six 
acres of fine land, and since purchasing Mr. Homey has made many valuable 
improvements, and he may be classed among the progressive farmers of Wayne 
Township. He was married in 1864 to Harriet A., daughter of Elizabeth Rhoads 
and granddaughter of John E. Elderkin, one of the pioneers of Wayne County. 
They have had two sons---Charles, born in 1865 and died in 1866; William E., 
born in 1866, now at Commercial College. Mr. Horney is a member of Whitewater 
Lodge, No. 41, I.O.O.F., and of Oriental Encampment of Richmond.
