GEORGE V. HORN PASSES AWAY

George V. Horn was born near Wilton Junction in Cedar county on May 26, 1861. He passed away on Sept. 8, 1933, at the age of 72 years. He was the son of Sarah and Josiah Horn.

On Oct. 14, 1886, he was married to Nora Smith. To them were born three sons and one daughter, Harry, Marshall, Arthur and Eva.

The deceased lived on a farm near Wilton Junction until about 32 years ago, when he, with his family, moved to the farm in Chester, where the better part of his remaining years were spent. For a few years the family resided in Grinnell, returning again to the farm.

About four years ago Mr. Horn had a stroke of paralysis from which he was a contant sufferer until death came as a relief.

He is survived by his wife and all four children: Harry E. of Gilman; Marshall W. of Melbourne; Arthur L. of Grinnell, and Mrs. Eva Grattan of Campbell, Calif.

Funeral services were held at 2:30 Sunday afternoon form the Chester Congregational church, conducted by Rev. H.L. Wissler. A male quartet composed of Leslie Lavender, Homer Sears, Claude and Ben Thompson, sang three selections. Pallbearers were all relatives. All the sons were present, but the daughter, Mrs. Grattan, was not able to come from California.
