HORNE, HIRAM
(28 Apr 1910, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Hiram Horn (sic), a farmer residing two miles east and one mile north of
this city, died on Thursday afternoon last.  Mr. Horn had been ill for a
couple of weeks with a liver trouble, but considered on the high road to
recovery.  Thursday afternoon the nurse left the room to prepare his
supper, and upon returning with it found him dead.  Heart failure is
assigned as the immediate cause of death, induced by his weakened
condition consequent upon his illness.  Mr. Horn was a single man, 39 year
of age, and came to Oklahoma from Green county, Arkansas, to which point
the body was shipped for interment.  Mr. Horn was a member of the Masonic
fraternity and the Modern Woodmen of America.
(29 Apr 1910, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Hiram Horne died at the home of his sister, Mrs. R. A. Like, 3 miles
northeast of this city, at noon Friday, April 22nd of heart failure. 
Deceased was a Free Mason, a member of the Modern Woodmen of America and
the I.O.O.F.  A brother, Geo. W. Horne and a cousin, John W. Horne, of
McLoud, Okla., arrived Saturday.  After services at the home the body was
escorted to Doxey, Okla., by friends and neighbors of Sayre Camp M.W.A.
and taken to Gainsville, Ark., on the evening train accompanied by his

McCloud, Okla., and carried a Policy for $1000.00 payable to his mother.
(29 Apr 1910, Sayre Citizen, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
John Horne of McCloud, Pottowatomie County, was a Sayre visitor last
Saturday.  Mr. Horne was called here by the death of his cousin, Hiram
Horne, of Doxey.  It was his first trip into this section of the state and
he was so favorably impressed with the country and its citizenship that he
expressed himself almost persuaded to cast his lot with the people of
Beckham county.
Died, at his home near Doxey, Thursday, April 21, of heart failure, Hiram
Horne, aged 39 years.  Deceased was a single man and was living with his
sister, Mrs. R. A. Like.  He was a member of the A.F.&A.M., I.O.O.F., and
M.WA. fraternal organizations.  The M.W.A. superintended the preparation
of the body for shipment to the former home of the deceased at
Gainesville, Arkansas, for interment.  George W. Horne of McCloud, brother
of the deceased, accompanied the body to the final resting place.
