      Frank Ives Horr obituary, news.... [email "Tim Purdy" <]
      Big Valley Gazette, Bieber, California - 17 September 1916 2;2
      Frank Horr Killed in Auto Accident
      Frank Horr of Hayward was killed and John H. Green of Oakland was seriously injury when their automobile, plunged over a twelve foot embankment seven mile from here from here on Cazadero Road [Sonoma County] last Monday. For more than an hour Green pinned beneath the tonneau of the machine beside his dead companion cried feebly for help before aid came.
      The two men were on their way to Cazadero when in rounding a sharp turn, their automobile leaped the road and plunged downward turning over as it fell. Horr and Green were trapped before they could leap to safety. [this is 1916:) ]
      A man and woman passing in an automobile extricated them.
      An investigation tonight by the Coroner decided the fact that Horr's chest had been crushed. Horr, who was 50 years of age, was the starter of the Pit River Lumber Company.

      [[The following census information was compiled and contributed by Joyce S.

      In California by 1891.

      Then 3 families down (from Ada Horr), is Fred Joel Horr and his family.
      My guess would be that George R. (Riley G.) Horr's father is Frank Ives Horr, brother of Fred Joel Horr, but I have yet to find anything that says it is so.
