George Harrison Horton was born in Fulton County, Illinois, January 8, 1867. He departed this life December 5, 1935, at the age of 68 year, 10 months and 27 days.
At the age of three years, he came with his parents to Nebraska. They homesteaded in Fillmore County, where George grew to manhood.
He was united in marriage to Mary Elizabeth Price, December 30, 1885, and was very near the completion of fifty years of happy wedded life.
To this union four sons were born, three of whom survive: Charles H., George F. of Exeter and Archie W. of Lincoln. Jonathan Franklin preceded his father in death three years ago. He also leaves to mourn his death his wife, one sister, Mrs. Minnie Armstrong of Fairmont, eleven grandchildren, one great-grandchild and several nieces and nephews.
His father passed away December 3, 1931, and his mother, January 11, 1933. His brother Osa died April 17, 1933. His other brothers and sisters passed away years ago.
After farming many years, Mr. Horton moved to Exeter in December, 1905, and engaged in business. His wide acquaintance made him many friends.
He was a member of the Church of God that was established at the Indian Creek school house, which is located on the Horton homestead. He was a member of the Modern Woodman and Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
He was a devoted husband and kind father. He will be greatly missed in the family circle and in the community in which he lived.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Saturday afternoon at 2:30 with Rev. Samuel Beechner in charge. The L.O.O.F. Lodge had charge of the services at the grave. Burial was in the Horton Cemetery north of Exeter.
