State Chronicle December 1889
(Special cor. Of State Chronicle)

  "Winston, N. C., dec. 20 - Several of our good citizens went up to 
Wilkesboro and returned yesterday.  Their mission was to pay respects to the 
memory of Capt. Hamilton Horton, one of the pioneers of that mountainous 
section, who died on last Monday and whose remains were interred in the old 
family burying ground near Wilkesboro on Thursday.
   Capt. Horton was an estimable, high toned old gentleman and was one of the 
best heads in the county.  After a long and useful life he died in his fifty 
ninth year."


Burial of Capt. Hamilton Horton.

  "Several of our citizens yesterday participated in the last sad rites over 
the body of Capt. Hamilton Horton whose lamented death has been before 
noticed.  He was laid to rest in the old family burying ground in Wilkes 
county.
   Capt. Horton was a pioneer in that good society which has characterized the 
older inhabitants of Wilkes,  being in his fifty ninth year, and his death is 
lamented by a large circle of relatives and dear friends.  He was the father 
of our townsman, Dr. H. V. Horton, to whom, with all others who feel this 
great loss, we extend our heartfelt sympathy."
