Horace Albert Place was born in Alfred, N. Y., April 30, 1950, and died at his home in Ceres, N. Y., on June 9, after an illness of about a month, caused by a broken limb.
He graduated from Alfred University and later from the University of New York City. He came to Ceres, settling on the Pennsylvania side, and began the practice of medicine June 1, 1878. At first it was a hard up-hill pull for him, but with perseverance and attention to business he forged ahead for thirty-six years, and his efforts were crowned with success, as he became one of the best physicians of this section, and especially for children. During his practice he drove thousands of miles over smooth and rough roads, through sunshine, rain, snow and sleet, in daylight and darkness, never shirking his duty to a patient although sometimes he felt more like dropping on the floor for a rest or a few minutes sleep. By his kindly nature and good will he endeared himself to a host of people, who will miss him greatly.
On April 18, 1878, he was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Barber, who has stood by him in his work all these years. To this union were born four children, three of whom, with the wife and mother, survive him: Merle A. Place, M. D., of Hornell, N. Y., Merton Place of Menominee, Wis., and Irwin D. Place of Ceres.
In early life he became a Christian and united with the Alfred Seventh Day Baptist Church, and later, July 13, 1879, he united by letter with the Portville Seventh Day Baptist Church, which he served faithfully for about thirty-five years. On May 1, 1897, he was ordained deacon, in which capacity he served until called home. He was a true Christian man, strong on temperance, a loving husband and father, a good citizen and neighbor. He was a charter member of the Ceres grange and had served as master for the past three years.
The funeral was held in the Seventh Day Baptist church near Portville, Thursday June 11, at 1 p.m., and was very largely attended, showing the high esteem in which he was held. Rev. Erlo E. Sutton, his pastor, officiated, assisted by Rev. J. M. Leach of Ceres, G. P. Kenyon of Richburg, and Evangelist A. Lee Aldrich of Binghamton. The body was taken to Alfred, where it was laid to rest at the close of the day, Rev. Wm. L. Burdick of Alfred officiating.
