Some sources claim he was German-born while others say Perry County, Pennsylvania. His obituary in the Perry County Democrat claims he was born in Germany but on October 3, 1827. The son of Christian Frederick & Anna Elisabeth Gellbach Horn[e], he married Caroline Mickey November 1, 1849, in Carroll Township, Perry County, and fathered William Henry (b, 02/15/50), Mary Ann (b. 10/29/51), George Washington (b. 06/10/53), Catharine Elizabeth (b. 02/23/55 - married a Braught), Christian Frederick (b. 09/10/56), Susan A. (b. 09/30/58 - married a Kline), John Wesley (b. 01/11/62), Abraham (b. 03/30/63), Charles Grant (b. 03/30/64), Rosie W. (b. @1865), Ann S. & Emma J. (b. 02/10/67 - being twins is uncertain), Jeremiah Preston (b. 02/22/69), Samuel Wert (b. 04/09/70), and Martin Mickey (b. 12/05/73). In 1860, he was a farmer living with his family in Spring Township, Perry County, but is in the 1863-65 draft registration residing in Carroll Township, Perry County. He stood 5' 9" tall and had auburn hair and blue eyes. He is in the 1850 census as "Horne," but all other censuses spell it "Horn."

A Civil War veteran, he enlisted at the stated age of thirty-seven in Harrisburg August 22,1864, and mustered into federal service there August 23 as a private with Co. C, 201st Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company June 23, 1865. He is in Bates History of Pennsylvania Volunteers and the company descriptive list as "Horne" but in the company register as "House."

On September 20, 1879, he applied for a disability pension as "Horne" and received it. Caroline died in 1886 and he married Sarah Agnes Sheaffer November 19, 1887, fathering Ida Mary (b. 02/22/86 [?] - married Mervin George Jumper), Pearl J. (b. 09/28/87), Frank A. (b. 07/17/88), Park (b. 03/01/91), and Araminta I. (b. 10/28/94). He is in the 1890 Veterans Schedule as "Horn" residing in North Middleton Township, Cumberland County, but had returned to Perry County by the time of his death.

On April 4, 1905, Sarah applied for a widow's pension as "Horne" and received it.
