Obituary:
HORR, WILLIAM OWEN
(20 Oct 1939, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Illness Fatal to Pioneer Banker.
Funeral services for William Owen Horr, 71-year-old pioneer Elk City and
western Oklahoma banker who died Wednesday at Pryor, Okla., will be held
at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Killough-Hullum funeral chapel here.
Burial will be in Fairlawn cemetery.
The body was being returned to Elk City late Thursday for burial.
Mr. Horr was born December 15, 1867, at Urbana, Ill. He came to the
southwest and entered the cattle business at Amarillo, Tex. in 1902. Two
years later he went to Garden City, Kans., in the banking business,
remaining there until 1906 when he came to Elk City and established the
old Cotton Exchange banks at Elk City, Cheyenne, Crawford, Rhea and Texmo,
now one of western Oklahoma's "ghost" towns. The Rhea and Texmo banks
later were moved to Moorewood and Leedey.
He operated the banks until 1914, when they were sold to the Thurmond
interests. After sale of the banks, Mr. Horr went to Fort Stockton, Tex.,
and re-entered the ranching business. He returned to Elk City in the
early 1920's and turned his attention to real estate affairs.
He built the block on South Jefferson street from Puckett's Grocery south
to Sixth street, and the business buildings along sixth street both east
and west of Jefferson on the north side of Sixth street. He also built
three brick apartment houses on North Main street and West Broadway as
well as several other residences.
He had been at Disney, Okla., for some time prior to his death. He was
stricken with his final illness while at Disney and was taken last week to
a hospital at Pryor.
Mr. Horr is survived by his widow, Mrs. Edith Horr of Grand Junction,
Colo.; a daughter, Mrs. Bea Manning of New Castle, Colo., and a niece Mrs.
Ben H. VanGundy of West Fork, Ark.
