Always a defender of the prohibition cause Judge Horn was one of the early advocates of the abolishment of spirited liquors. Throughout his entire life as a public figure in the church and the law he has fought for the cause of prohibition.
Early in his career as a crusader for the gospel Judge Horn served as a missionary in Chile where he brought the principles of Christ and taught them to the natives of South America.
Previous to his election a county judge of Prowers county Judge Horn was for several years a lecturer touring the United States at one time in lyceum work.
Graduating from Lewis College, Glasgow, Missouri, as a bachelor of arts and master of arts Judge Horn became a professor in the college and later it's president. From the presidentship of Lewis College he became missionary of the gospel and later minister.
Active until the day before his death Judge Horn attended to his duties a county judge Saturday at the Prowers county courthouse. He left his office at his usual time at 4 o'clock in the afternoon and spent the evening reading to his wife.
At the 45th anniversary of the founding of the First Methodist Church of Lamar the aged minister-jurist delivered a beautifully touching address in his work, and married life in a eulogy of Mrs. Horn, who lay ill in bed at the time of the address.
Through out an active and busy life Judge Horn never failed to attend the Methodist church and Sunday school. Since his residence in Lamar he has filled the pulpit of many Methodist and other churches in this district when the regular minister was forced to be away. He taught Sunday school class for many years in Lamar.
Reverend I.L. Morgan, pastor of the First Methodist church of Lamar, dismissed the Sunday evening service in tribute to its one time pastor and faithful attendant when notified of Judge Horn's death Sunday night.
A cultured, refined and courteous gentleman Judge Horn's many friends and the children of the community, among which he was a familiar figure, will remember him for his kindly acts and faithful service to his church, his community and his fellow man.
Judge Horn is survived by his widow, Jennie, who has been for the past few years a invalid as the result of a fall, one brother [Simon T.] and one sister [Belle Prosser], six children and 18 grandchildren. His children, all living, are: Herschel Horn, City Attorney of Lamar; Karl W. Horn, Newark, N.J.; Wallace B. Horn, Aztec, N.M.; Mrs T.E. Leiper, Cedaredge, Colo.; and Mrs. H.M. Hawkins and Mrs. V.G.
