Mr. Horton died a couple of weeks before his wife, but her condition was so serious that his body was held in order that both funerals might be held at the same time.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Horton (Frances Parmalee) were born in Floyd county but they came to Mitchell county when young.

Their marriage took place in Osage fifty years ago. Mr. Horton was a painter and paperhanger by trade. They moved west about thirty years ago.

Mr. and Mrs Horton visited in Osage three years ago and went on east from here in an extended vacation trip.
