‘David D. Horn, one of the oldest residents of Easton, died at 9 o’clock Tuesday night, at his home, No. 1521 Butler Street, of a complication of diseases incidental to old age. He had lived retired for many years, but in his earlier days he was a prominent contractor and builder, having been at times connected with his brother, Reuben H. Horn, and Lewis H. Mattes, in various operations. The largest contract the firm engaged in was that of building the present court house. The deceased was well known to the community and always bore a most excellent reputation for business uprightness, strict honesty and high Christian character. He was esteemed by all who knew him and was a valuable man in the community until he ceased to take active interest in local affairs.
David Horn was the son of the late Charles and Elizabeth Horn and the grandson of the long deceased Adam and Deborah Deshler. He is survived by his wife, Anna M., who was the daughter of the late John and Catherine Cooper, and by the following children—Martin L., Alfred J., Lewis L., George D., Carrie H., wife of George E. Sciple and Ida M. Horne.” [Newspaper clipping furnished by Mrs. Florida Heitman.| .
