The Soldier Clipper, September 3, 1913
Jackson County Kansas
Peter Horn was born on June 3, 1842 at Nieder-Ramstan by Hessen Darmstead, Germany, and was at the time of his death 73 years of age. He met his death by being run over by a train at Leavenworth on Monday night Aug. 25th. Mr. Horns boyhood days were spent in his native land, he serving six years in the German army. He came to the United States and settled in Iowa. Here he married a Miss Don Carlos, a relative of the Don Carlos heirs to the throne of Spain. To this union four children, Adam, Henry and Charles Edward and Mrs. Kate Fryberger were born. Adam met a tragic death by fire some years ago. Sixteen years ago Mr. Horn moved to Soldier and has since made this his home .... It was his efforts that put the Soldier cemetery in a neat condition ..

Peter Horn of Soldier was killed on the railroad track in Leavenworth Tuesday. The dismembered body of Peter Horn, of Soldier, Kan., was found on the Missouri Pacific tracks near the Fort Leavenworth depot Tuesday morning. Coroner Davis sent the body to the morgue and started an investigation. It was learned that Horn came to Leavenworth from Soldier Monday morning with the intention of returning last night. It is believed that Horn lost his money, as he appeared at the Union depot last night and asked to have a check cashed. He was not successful. This was the last seen of him last evening. The supposition is that Horn started to walk to Soldier over the Leavenworth & Western tracks, but kept on north over the Missouri Pacific. Mrs. O. Fryberger, a daughter, who resides in Topeka, has been notified of the death of her father. A son resides at Oskaloosa, Ia. Horn was a stone mason by trade and was about 50 years of age.
