From Story County Watchman June 6, 1890

DIED.--Thursday morning, at his residence in this city, John Horton, aged 70 years and 6 months. Mr. Horton was a native of Pennsylvania and came to this state some twenty years ago and settled on a farm some six miles south of Nevada. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his loss.

He was one of those in whom you could rely in all instances and for that reason stood high in the estimation of all who had dealings with him and all will be pained to learn that he has now gone the way of all the earth.
