"Hi Roz,
Some of this information I got from newspaper clippings from Indiana--and information that Mary Charlotte Horr Mercer gave to her daughter, Agnes Fraser Krill Schaegalen--my husband's grandmother. I'm guessing on the Elnathan Horr connection based on Rushville, Rush Co., Indiana connections.
Suzie"
