HORN DEAD Passes away Saturday After a Long Illness. The cup of sorrow of our good citizen, John Horn, has been filled to overflowing during the past month. About a month ago one of his daughters, Mrs. Cora Burnley, wife of Jas. R. Burnley, died and then on last Saturday morning grief came to him again when his wife passed into the great beyond. Mrs. Horn had been an invalid for a long time, the principal cause being rheumatism, with which she suffered intensely for a long time. A few days before her death she contracted pneumonia, which disease her weakened condition could not withstand. Mrs. Horn was a daughter of Capt. Nicholas Frech, who was, until his death, a citizen of this county for a long time. She was born in Mephis, Tenn, in 1863 and moved to this country with her parents in early life. In 1884 she was married to Mr. Horn and to them five children were born, three of whom are dead. She is survived by her husband and two children, the latter being Mrs. Ed Martin and Herman Horn. One brother and one sister also survive her. They are Mrs. Tolly Reddick and Gus Frech. Mrs. Horn was a member of the Christian church and ruing her life she lived a model, conscientious and devoted christian life. She was a fine woman and always ready to do what she could in alleviating the suffering of others. The funeral services were conducted at the home by Eld. Joseph Ratcliffe and the burial was in the Bardwell cememtary Sunday afternoon. The grief-stricken husband has the sincere sympathy of scores of friends here and elsewhere. The grief that naturally is his lot because of the death of two of his loved ones in the worst period of two weeks is made more severe by the fact that his son was callled to the service of his country immediately following the death of Mrs. Burnley and did not reach home until after his mother's death.
