From the obituary in the Frankfort, Marshall Co, Kansas Newspaper;
"Mr Orwel C. Horr, was born in Denmark, Lewis Co New York, and when he was about nine years old the family moved to Mechanicsburg, Ohio, and in a few more years to Danville, Illinois, where at the age of fifteen [probably eighteen] he lost his parents and was thrown entirely on his own resources. In the spring of 1840 being then twenty-four years of age, he joined the "march of empire" and settled in Platt City, Missouri and in 1856 on account of slavery, he again moved westward and with his family settled in Atchison, Kansas then the limits of a vast wilderness. He had been up the Missouri as early as 1836 and obtained permission of Rubidoux, the commander of the trading post, where St. Joseph now stands to land.
In the fall of 1858 he again moved with his family to Marysville, in our county, where he engaged in the mercantile business and remained until Frankfort was laid out; then on 20 Jan 1868 he came to our city, where he has remained ever since."
In Jan 1888 his sister Mrs N. Gilbert spent last winter in Frankfort, will spend this winter in Florida." Note the obituary does not state who his wife and children were.

HENRY C. HORR. Prominent among the business houses of Frankfort, is the general merchandising establishment which bears the firm name of O. C. Horr & Sons, and in which the subject of this sketch is now senior partner. The firm carries on business in an elegant two-story stone edifice, with plate glass front, the main portion of which occupies a space of 38x100 feet, and the two additions being 15x80 and 20x30. The buildings represent an outlay of $12,000, and contain a stock costing over $25,000. The latter consists of dry goods, boots and shoes, hats and caps, gentlemen's furnishing goods and groceries. The establishment is in a very prosperous condition, and the members of the firm, H. C. and T. C. Horr, both of whom are popular as business men and citizens, are proving themselves worthy successors of their honored father, whose name is still retained by the firm.
The grandfather of our subject was Robert Horr, a general merchant in Boston, and also in Meclianicsburg, Ohio. As the name indicates, he was of English ancestry. During the war of 1812 he was Colonel of a New York regiment, which served in the campaign against the British in Lower Canada. During the later years of his life he lived at Danville. 111., and was engaged in the stock business. His son, O. C. Horr, father of our subject, was a native of Lewis County, N. Y., and was but twelve years of age when his father removed to Illinois. When but sixteen years old he began life for himself, by engaging as a drug clerk with Dr. Fithian, in Danville, and continued in that employment for two years. lie next engaged in the stock business, driving cattle and horses to Cincinnati, which was at that time the great stock market of the West. After two or three years spent in this way, he turned his face westward, arriving in St. Joseph, Mo., in 1837. After remaining a short time, prospecting with a view to locating, he went back to Illinois. He soon returned to Missouri, however, and located at Platte City, Platte County. Shortly after settling there, he secured a contract for outfitting Government trains, preparatory to journeys over the almost unexplored wilderness west of the Missouri, and he also engaged in freighting. At that time Ft. Leavenworth was an important frontier military post, and Mr. Horr's business brought him into familiar contact with Gen. Leavenworth, Col. Doniphan, Gen. Atchison, and other leading military men and civilians of the then Far AVest.
During his residence at Platte City, in July, 1847, O. C. Horr was married to Elizabeth Jane, daughter of T. O. Rader. She was a native of Pennsylvania, and of Pennsylvania Dutch descent. In 1856 he moved to Atchison, where he continued in the business of outfitting Government trains, and also furnished emigrant outfits. After a sojourn of four years he came to the then recently established town of Marysville, now the county seat of this county. He was one of the earliest and most prominent business men of the place, in which he remained until 18G8. At that time he transferred his business of general merchandising to Frankfort. He began business in a frame building, where the State bank is now situated. It was a one-storv structure, 22x80 feet. After a year spent in that location he erected a frame building 20x60, on the site now occupied by his sons, and in 1887 that edifice gave way to the present beautiful buildin"1 He continued to reside in Frankfort until his death, which took place Aug. 7, 1887, at the age of seventy-four. His widow still survives him. Mr. Horr was a very successful man, and during his life maintained a high reputation for Uprightness, integrity, and honorable business methods. His prosperity was the result of his own efforts and good judgment. lie Was a Mason and an Odd Fellow, a member of the School Board, and was Postmaster of Frankfort during the latter part of Johnson's administration, and all of Grant's first term. He was prominently identified with every enterprise calculated to advance the interests of the city.
Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Horr were the parents of seven children. The two eldest are members of the firm before alluded to. Aurelia M. is single, and lives with her mother; Elizabeth J. is the wife of W. W. Lane, a salesman in the dry-goods establishment of D. C. Newcomb, at Atchison, Kan.; Lillian E. is the wife of T. H. Lainhart, a merchant in Alban', Mo.; Orwell S. is unmarried, and rerides in Frankfort, participating in the business of the firm; Adell is single, and living at home.
Henry C. Horr, the subject of this sketch, was born in Platte County, Mo., Sept. 14, 1848. His boyhood and youth were passed in Platte City, and Atchison, Kan., in the common schools of which he received the greater part of his education. After his parents' removal to Maryville, this county, he finished the High School course in that place. It might almost be said of him that he was raised behind the counter, as he early began assisting his father in the store. When he was twenty years of age his father gave him and his brother, Thomas C.. each a share in the business. In that year (1868) they adopted the firm name under which the business is still continued. On Jan. 23, 1877, the marriage of our subject took place, the bride being Amanda E., daughter of Amos and Harriett (Wolf) Flin. (See sketch of Amos Flin, which occupies another page in this Album). The young lady was a native of the Hoosier State, where she first saw the light June 19, 1854. She is a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church.
Thomas C. Horr, brother and partner of our subject, was born in Platte City, Mo., Oct. 22, 1849. and his boyhood and youthful history is similar to that of Henry C. In Frankfort, June 22, 1873,he celebrated his marriage to Ella, daughter of T. J and Mary E. Snodgrass. The bride was born in Ohio, Aug. 26, 1856. To Mr. and Mrs. T. C. Horr have been born two children. The parents are members of the Presbyterian Church.
Both the present members of the firm are to be found in the ranks of the Republican party. They are gentlemen of courteous address and cordial manner, of excellent business habits, prudent yet liberal, and stand high in the regard of their fellow-citizens.
