| Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, February 17, 1882, page 3, column 4 Local Intelligence - Died - Horne - At his residence, on Montezuma Street, in Prescott this morning, February 5th, 1882, Louis Horne, a native of Baden, Germany, aged about 67 years, of heart disease. Mr. Horne was an old citizen of the Pacific coast, having resided many years in Yreka, California, and Jacksonville, Oregon, where he was engaged in hotel keeping, in which position he became widely known, very popular and quite well off in worldly goods. He came to the United States at the age of 26, married in New York City, and removed to this coast in 1855. After sixteen years residence in Jacksonville, where he had built up a fine hotel property and business, that scourge of frontier towns, fire, swept away in a few minutes the accumulations of all these years, and left him without the means to build up again, so he removed his family to San Jose, and three years ago came to Arizona. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters, all residents of Prescott, who have the undivided sympathies of the entire people, among whom they are much respected. Few, if any, better men than Louis Horne have lived or died in Arizona, or elsewhere, honorable, to the last cent, as well in adversity as in prosperity he had gained the confidence of all with whom he did business, and was the idol of an affectionate family, for whom he lived and toiled. Transcriber's note: Mr. Horne is buried at the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona. See Also: Arizona Gravestone Photo Project |
