Major Warren Horr was born in New Salem, July 17, 1803, a son of Warren Horr who was at one time treasurer of the town of Shutesbury. His education was obtained at New Salem Academy, of which he was the oldest graduate at the time of his death. His early life was devoted to farming, and he was honored by his fellow townsmen with many positions of trust and responsibility, representing New Salem in the Legislature of 1850, and also served the town as selectman, assessor and overseer of the poor for seven years in succession. Actively interested in the old militia he held the office of major, and was elected colonel, which office he declined. He removed to Athol in 1857 and engaged in the grocery business with J. W. Hunt and J. F. Packard for a few years, and then gave his attention to agricultural pursuits. In 1826 he married Sally P. Sloan, a sister of Jonathan W. Sloan. She died in 1868 and in 1869 he married Mrs. Harriet Townsend. He had one child, George W. Horr. He was the oldest member of the Masonic fraternity in this section, having been made a Mason in Golden Rule Lodge, New Salem, in 1826. His life and character may be summed up in the following words: He was a just man, a true man, and a Christian. He died Feb. 14, 1890.
