HORN is a representative stockman of Wheeler county and resides about two miles west from Twickenham. He was born in Marion county, Oregon, on December 23, 1855, and has spent most of his days in the Webfoot State. His father, James M. Horn, was born in Orange county, North Carolina, and was a veteran of the Mexican war. In 1849, he came from Mexico to California and there engaged as a mechanic for a year. In 1850, he journeyed to Benton county, Oregon, where he married Miss Mary J. Writsman, who was born in Missouri and crossed the plains with her parents in 1847. From Benton county, the parents moved to Marion county and bought land where they engaged in farming until 1864. In that year they went to California and in 1881, they journeyed to our subject's present location, where they engaged in the stock business they now reside in Malheur county, Oregon. Our subject was educated in California and the other places where the family lived and as soon as he had come to the proper age, he began to work for wages. In 1880, after having traveled about considerable, he came to what is now Wheeler county and spent one year in looking over the country. Then he settled on the ranch that he now occupies and which he has increased to four hundred and twenty acres. It is a choice piece of land, one of the best, and has been well handled and improved by its owner. Mr. Horn raises stock and has been very successful in his labors for the past twenty-five years. On September 1, 1900, Mr. Horn married Miss Almira Moore, who was born in Polk county, Oregon. Her father, William. S. Moore, was born in Missouri, crossed the plains when a boy in 1852 and was raised in Polk county, Oregon, where he has been farming since. His father died while they were crossing the plains. Mrs. Horn's mother, Sarah (Wren) Moore, was born in Illinois and crossed the plains with her parents in pioneer days. Mr. Horn is a member of the I. 0. 0. F. and the A. F. & A. M. He is popular in fraternal circles and is a man of ability and excellent standing. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios. Project in March 2011 by Diana Smith.
