A descendant of Plymouth Pilgrim Richard Man, Horace is on record as having taught the first year of Athol High School, 1857. He had various occupations--dealing in furniture, lumber and real estate. He built several houses and furnished the major portion of the means to build the Seventh-day Adventist church in Athol. A very generous man.

Won to the truth by the religious liberty platform held by Seventh-day Adventists, he became a valiant champion of liberty and wielded a powerful influence for good among local business men. They respected him and joined him in many petitions to Congress asking to preserve the religious freedom of our nation. Faithful to church and in prayer meeting, he often appealed to the young to yield their lives to God and testify to His glory.
