Horton, J. M -
The Lenox friends are saddened by the news of the death of J. M. Horton who for many years was a resident of this town. Mr. Horton died at the home of his daughter, Mrs J M Williams of Perry, Iowa, last Thursday afternoon. Mr. Horton had been in failing health for several months and it was known for some time that the end would soon come. Mr and Mrs Horton moved from Lenox last February after making this their home for 17 years. Mrs Horton was in feeble health when she left her home here and died in July. Mr Horton was born in England in 1827 and lived there until he was thirty years of age when he came to America. In 1858 he was married to Miss Mildred Dean. Of the nine children born to this union, only four are living: Mrs W H Crawford of Creston; John H of Clearfield; Albert H, Cromwell; and Mrs J M Williams of Perry, Ia.
Funeral services were held and interment made in Cromwell last Saturday, Rev Conrey officiating.
