is a son of Isaiah H. and Nancy (Thompson) Hornaday. The parents were
natives of North Carolina, born in 1789, and 1796, respectively. Our

1841, when he began working for himself. He rented land for two years
and then purchased eighty acres of land. By his untiring industry he has
incresed his farm to 1,200 acres. He was married to Elizabeth, daughter
of Thomas and Catherine (Mathews) Meadows. They became the parents of
these children: Mary, Thomas, Elizabeth C., Bell L., John K., and
Benjamin. He was not a soldier in the late war, but he rendered good

Union. He belongs to the Republican party, and his first vote for Van
Buren. He takes some interest in local politics, but has never aspired to
office. He and wife have been members of the Methodist Epi!
scopal Church for about twenty years. He is one of the self-made men of
the county, and has met with fair success in his business matters.
