Horace died November 5, 1860. He was accidently killed by an accidental discharge of his gun while out on a hunting excursion with several others near Merom, Sullivan County, Indiana.

Mr. BLINN was one of our oldest residents, having settled in Terre Haute when it was a mere village, and was known and respected by all of our citizens. He was always noted for being foremost in all works of temperance, religion, charity and other philanthropic enterprises. He was one of the first organizers of the Congregational church in Terre Haute, and he spent much of his time and means in the cause of humanity.
