HORN, ASA W.
(29 Aug 1907, Erick Altruist, Erick, Beckham Co, OK):
Mr. A. W. Horn, Died Today.
Just as we were about to go to press the sad intelligence reaches us that
our highly esteemed fellow towns-man Mr. A. W. Horn died this morning at
just about the break of day surrounded by his wife and three of his
children.  Mr. Horn had been sick for only about two weeks with a sort of
catarrhal fever; but being well advanced in years he was not robust and
was unable to survive the ravages of a continued high fever although he
had most devoted nursing and medical attention under the skilled direction
of Dr. Wells.
Mr. Horn was born at Columbus, Ohio in 1845 and lived there for about 45
years during which time he was married to Miss Amanda Getzendanner during
the year 1880 he moved together with his family to Sherman, Grayson
County, Texas, where he lived until he came to Erick about two years ago. 
Because of his sweet spirited gentle manner and upright Christian life,
Mr. Horn became endeared to all those with whom he became acquainted and
his death is sincerely mourned.  He had been a consistent member of the
Presbyterian Church since early manhood and his wise counsel and support
will be missed by our church here at Erick.
Besides his immediate family consisting of his wife and daughter, Miss
Abbie, Mr. Horn is survived by his daughter, Mrs. O. H. Ward of Erick, Mr.
J. C. Horn of Ft. Worth, Texas, each of whom were present when the end
came, and Mrs. W. J. Hollingsworth of White Mound, Texas, a daughter who
was unable to get here.
Funeral services at the Horn residence at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning
conducted by Rev. M. C. Liddell, Pastor of the Presbyterian Church,
assisted by W. T. Matthews of Durant, I.T., who is now conducting a series
of revival meetings here.  The Altruist extends most sincere sympathy to
the bereaved family of Mr. Horn.  He is not dead, he is just away.
