Obituary:
Death of J. B. Horn.
John Blake Horn died in this city, at the home of his sister, Mrs. Allen, Saturday morning, April 13. His home before coming to Clay Center was in California and it is only since Christmas that he has lived here. On that date he came to spend the winter with his sister, and has rapidly declined until death came Saturday. Consumption complicated with other troubles caused his death.
Mr. Horn was an old settler having come to Kansas in the early fifties. With his brother D. H. Horn he helped lay out the city of Topeka. He was an old soldier, a member of Captain Branhall's New York independent battery, serving in twenty seven battles and being two months in Libby prison. He was the last of four brothers.
He was born in 1835 being 66 years old at the time of his death. He has four children living, two sons and two daughters, none of whom live in Clay Center. The funeral was held Sunday at Havensville, where the body was buried. Mr. Horn has been a Christian, an earnest, conscientious worker for Christ.
