SUDDEN WAS DEATH of Mrs. George Horn Late Tuesday Night
CANNED FRUIT THAT DAY
______
Mrs. George Horn, living near the Wabash River on Etna Avenue, was taken seriously ill
Tuesday night about eleven o'clock an died at 11:45 about five minutes after a
physician arrived. The nature of the illness was heart disease.
Mrs. Horn had been about the house all day, working in the garden during the evening.
After supper she helped her daughter with strawberries until about ten o'clock. It was
about this time that she felt the attack coming, although she regarded the feeling as
being one of fatigue instead of illness. The serious attack followed before anybody knew
she was ill and relatives were powerless to do anything except call the physician.
Mrs. Horn was born in Polk Township November 13 1849, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
W. Fisher. She married Mr. Horn Easter Sunday 1864. Eighteen years they spent in Andrews,
Arkansas, and Union Township and the last twenty five in Huntington.
A number of years their home was on Market Street, Mr. Horn having worked in the Erie car
department. The home has been on the Etna road several years.
She leaves the husband, two daughters, a son, two brothers, three sisters and three
grandchildren. The children are Engineer John Horn of this city, Mrs. William Dumbauld of
Union Township, and Mrs. Carl Miller of this city. Brothers and sisters are Samuel Fisher
of Arkansas, Mrs. Rebecca Skinner of Blackford County, Mrs. Martha Haley of Illinois, and
Mrs. Cynthia Lewis of this city.
The Funeral will be held Friday afternoon at two at the Church of the Brethren, Rev. W.H.
Miller of Roann officiating.
