Married 1 Mar 1856, Logan County, Ohio, USA,: Sarah M. (FURROW) b. 29 Mar 1835, Stokes Township, Logan, Ohio, USA, d. 6 Apr 1918, Farnam, Dawson, Nebraska, USA
"The Sabbath Recorder", Vol 71, No 23, p 734, Dec. 4, 1911.
At his home at Farnam, Neb., on October 25, 1911, Lewis R. Van Horn, in the seventy-seventh year of his age.
Brother Van Horn was born near North Hampton, in Clark County, Ohio, on April 28, 1835. He was the son of William and Mary Davis Van Horn. His early life was mostly spent in Stokes Township in Logan County, Ohio, where at the age of nineteen he professed faith in Christ and became a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church of that place.
In 1856 he married Sarah M. Furrow, who survives him. In 1878 the family removed to Richardson County, Neb., and entered into the life of the Long Branch Church where Brother Van Horn was chosen and ordained deacon. In 1899 Deacon Van Horn and wife removed to Farnam in Dawson County, to be near their children, but their church membership was never removed from the Long Branch Church at Humboldt.
Their surviving children are: Evaline, wife of Rev. D. C. Lippincott of Garwin, Iowa; Robert, Ella, wife of U. F. Davis; Hannah, wife of R. J. Davis of Farnam; and William, of North Loup. R. V. Hurley, a nephew of Sheboygan Falls, Wis., was raised as a son of the family.
"Uncle Lewis" Van Horn was a man of high ideals. He was a Christian man of the type that is passing away. There will be good men when those of his generation are gone, but they will not be like him.
As he felt that his last hour was at hand he called about him his children and other near relatives and gave to each his parting admonition and blessing, which was very like the blessing which the patriarch Jacob gave to his sons and which will remain with each an abiding benediction.
The funeral was conducted by a friend of the family, Rev. D. W. Parker, pastor of the M. E. Church at Farnam.
