"An Honorable Man Passes Away.
Rucellus R. Horr, whose demise was not unexpected, after an acute illness of short duration, died at his home in this city at the age of 63. He was born in Denmark, Lewis County, New York, on April 25, 1837, and in 1855 moved to Butler County, of this state, where he has resided for forty years. During his residence there he was engaged in farming and was successful in the pursuits of life and accumulated a competency for old age. He was married to Miss Allen Townsend of Iowa Falls, in 1863, and five children were born to them. In 1878 his wife died after a long illness and left to care for his little children. The deceased was married to Mrs. Louisa Huey a year later and four daughters blessed their union, three of them are now living. The deceased moved to Rock Rapids in 1895 and his declining years were spent in comparative ease, surrounded by a happy and contented family. All through life he was regarded as an exceptional safe and reliable man, a man to be trusted and confided in, and he was never known to betray a trust. He was a conscientious Christian and lived an exemplary life. The funeral was held at the M.E. Church, Monday at 2 o'clock, Rev. Wasser, conducting the services and a large number of sorrowing friends followed the remains to its last resting-place in the Rock Rapids cemetery."
