    [Hartford, Vermont]
    Of the gambrel-roofed house which stood back of the Newton and E. W. Morris houses ... The records indicate that it was built about 1803. Samuel Horr first lived in it ; after him Ruth Wood ; then Joseph Horr ; and its last owner and occupant was Paschal Hatch, who took it down and built the Newton and E. W. Morris houses, perhaps, in part, out of its remains. The Misses Newton's mother used to tell of coming to play with children in it named Horr and the little Davises next door. Mrs. Bailey and Mrs. Steele remember its large fire-place. Mrs. Tarbell recollects being taken there as a little child by her father to buy a little chair of old Mr. and Mrs. Horr, or Orr, as she recalls the name.
