Prominent Adams County Farmer Dies.
Thos. W. Horton of New Rome died
very suddenly last Friday evening, June
14, 1902, of heart disease. He had not
been sick to be confined to his home at
all, but had been in failing health for
some time. The funeral was held on
Monday afternoon in New Rome, Rev.
W. A. Peterson of Grand Rapids officiat-
ing. It was the largest funeral ever
held in that section, over eighty teams
being in the procession. The deceased
was born in Orange county, New York,
May 16, 1831, and came west in 1855, lo-
cating in 1857 at New Rome where he
has since resided. He was a very prom-
inent citizen of Adams county and was
well-known to all the older residents of
this locality. His wife died about twelve
years ago. Seven children survive him
—Schuyler, of Milwaukee, Almond of
Spring Creek, Dwight, Nellie and Mamie
of New Rome, and Arthur and Walter
who are traveling salesmen and make
their headquarters at Eau Claire. All
were present at the funeral.

T. W. HORTON DEAD.
Old Resident of New Rome Passes
Away Suddenly.
T. W. Horton, who resided at New
Rome for nearly half a century, died
on Friday, June 13, from heart failure
at the age of 71 years. His death came
very sudden and unexpected, as he
had been in his usual health up to the
time when the final summons came.
It was in the evening and he was
just preparing to go after the stock
when he was stricken, and he died
very shortly thereafter.
The funeral was held on Monday,
Reverend Smith of New Rome offi-
ciating, assisted by Rev. W. A. Peter-
son and Rev. Mr. Jefferson. The
funeral was one of the largest ever
seen in that neighborhood. Although
only two of his children were present
at the time of his death, his five sons,
two daughters and two daughters-in-
law, one sister and other relatives
were present at the funeral. His
wife died some twelve years ago.
Mr. Horton was born on the 16th
of May 1831, in the state of New
Jersey. He grew to manhood in
Tioga County, Pa., and came to Wis-
consin in 1855. In 1857 he was married
to Mary E. Chester and during that
year settled on the farm in New Rome
where he has since resided. During
Mr. Horton's residence at New Rome
he has made many friends and has
occupied positions of trust that were
extended to him by his neighbors.
His life has been a busy and useful
one, and he is universally mourned
by all who knew him.
