Julia Ann Adeline HORN, second daughter of Thomas Jefferson and Jane (Mansfield) Hardisty, was born in Coshocton County, Ohio, February 9, 1845; went home to be with Jesus May 17, 1923, after a lingering illness of over three months; aged seventy-eight years, three months and eight days.

Her death was due to a complication of diseases.

She came to Indiana with her parents when a small girl.

On December 12, 1861, she was united in marriage to Sampson HORN. To this union thirteen children were born, two with the husband and father, having preceded her to the Great Beyond. The children are Ben, Centralia, Oklahoma; William, Drew, Oregon; Mark, Switz City; Steve, Owensburg; John, Boonville; Mrs. Thomas SPARKS, and Mrs. Sam SPINKS, Bloomfield; Mrs. Irvin LONG, Owensburg; Frank, Rachel and George, are left to mourn the loss of a loving mother.

She had thirty-four grandchildren and thirty great-grandchildren, two sisters and three brothers, with other relatives and a host of friends.

She was converted in early life in a meeting at Koleen; later on moved her membership to Ashcraft Chapel. She lived a true Christian life, every day the same, until the Master called her to her reward.

A few years ago when very sick, her daughter told her, the doctors said her time here on earth was short, and asked her if all was well. She said: "As I look back over my past life there is just two things that I did that I didn't feel right about; one was to pick up some apples when passing through an orchard. I told the man when I saw him. The other was, to charge a neighbor 50 cents for a bunch of wool, although that was what it was selling at, I always thought it was too much."

She lived a pure clean life. We have often heard her say, "I am not ashamed to live or afraid to die." She was a kind and loving mother, and devoted much on her children. She often admonished them to be honest and upright in all things. Truly her children can raise up and call her blessed. As a neighbor there was none better; and not one was ever more ready to lend a helping hand; no night was too dark, no road too muddy; no day too cold, for her to go and administer to the sick. No one was turned away from her door when it was in her power to help.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Quince FERGUSON, of Kirby. She was laid tenderly to rest at Ashcraft Chapel, followed by a large concourse of friends and relatives.
