Watauga Democrat
from the Watauga Democrat, Thursday, April 15, 1920
Obituary: James C. Horton
   Mr. J. C. Horton of Route 1, after an illness of many years died at his 
home on Saturday last, and the body was laid to rest with Masonic honors in 
the family burying ground on Monday in the presence of a large concourse of 
friends and relatives.
   Mr. Horton was a man loved and respected by all who knew him.  In his 
younger manhood he was prominent in every move that leoked (sic) to the 
betterment of his county.  He succeeded well as a farmer and a business man 
and held different positions of trust at the hands of his friends.  He was 
loyal to his church his country and his God and in his death Watauga loses one 
of her best men.  All that the best physicians could co, or loving hearts 
could suggest was done to try to ? the ravages of the disease, but to no 
avail.  He had heard the call "Come up higher" and peacefully, quietly, 
willingly, obeyed the summons.  He is survived by one daughter, Miss Carrie, 
who had full charge of his business during his long illness, even directing 
the work on his beautiful farm, and her tender loving care of "daddy" was 
something beautiful.  His aged mother, Mrs. Rebecca Horton had made her home 
with him for many years and was with him when the end came.  He leaves two 
sisters, Mrs. Moore, and Mrs. J. S. Winkler, of Boone; and three brothers, Dr. 
W. P. Horton, of North Wilkesboro, Mr. J. B Horton, of Elkin, and Mr. H. W. 
Horton, of Boone.
   A tribute to the memory of this good man, will appear in our next issue, 
which is being prepared by his former pastor, the Rev. L. C. Wilson
