Funeral services were held at two o'clock Monday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi HORTON, near Wagoner Station, for their son, Eugene HORTON, aged 48, who died at 4:50 Sunday afternoon. Death was due to tetanus which developed after Mr. Horton stepped on a rusty nail ten days ago.
The deceased was born near Wagoner Station on July 3, 1881, the son of Levi G. and Susan (COFFING) HORTON, and all his life had been spent in the Wagoner Station and Fulton communities with the exception of four years spent in Florida. Mr. Horton two weeks ago planned to go to Florida for the winter but decided to remain at the home of his aged parents and help care for them. It was while engaged in tearing down an old building on his parents' farm that he stepped on the rusty nail. When 16 years of age Mr. Horton united with the Christian church in Macy but later changed his membership to the Fulton Baptist church.
Besides his parents he is survived by one brother, Davis HORTON, of Wagoner Station, one sister, Mrs. Lola ALLEN, of Jackson, Mich.; one niece and two nephews, Lenore [ALLEN] and Howard ALLEN, of Jackson, Mich., and Joseph HORTON, a student at Purdue University. Rev. C. M. READ, of Macy, officiated at the funeral services and burial was made in the Mt. Zion cemetery.
