Sudden Death of Pioneer

Last Thursday Register of Deeds Roscoe C. Horner had an unusually interesting letter from his father, Mark H. Horner, a pioneer of Havana and Caney township who has been making his home at the National Soldiers Home at Leavenworth, and answered it by next mail. But Monday came a telegram that his father was dead. He went there on the first train, and returned yesterday, to arrange for the funeral at Havana today, the remains coming in on the 8:00 o’clock train.
Mark H. Horner died suddenly, March 21, 1921. He was born in Angelica, Alleghany county, New York, where he grew to manhood, and answered the call of his country in its distressing needs of the Civil war by volunteering his enlistment in the First New York Dragoons, organized in Angelica, Alleghany county, New York and freely giving his best services to his county until the close of the war at which time he received his honorable discharge from the army of the United States.
In the early seventies Mr. Horner came to Montgomery county, Kansas, and bought a farm one and one-half miles southwest of Havana, where he continued to reside until recent years. One the first day of May, 1870 Mr. Horner was united in marriage to Miss Alvereta Campbell who preceded him in death passing away January 18, 1918.
Mark H. Horner was 78 years, 2 months and 8 days of age. He leaves three sons, S. C. of Bartlesville, Sheridan, near Havana, and Roscoe C. Horner of this city; also three brothers and two sisters who live in Angelica, New York. The funeral service was held in the church at Havana, March 23, at 3:00 o’clock, and the remains laid to rest in Havana cemetery beside his wife who preceded him to their long home. Rev. Howell, also of the pioneers, and an old friend of the family spoke of the high character and good citizenship of the deceased.
