From: History of Minnesota
Augustus E. Horr
The late Augustus E. Horr was one of the pioneer leaders in the lumber and logging industry in Minnesota, coming to St. Anthony in 1865, immediately after the close of the Civil war. He was a member of the old lumbering firm of Leavitt, Horr & Company until 1878, when an association with J. S. Pillsbury and others was formed under the name of the Gulf River Lumber Company, Mr. Horr serving as its treasurer. He also became interested, with his son-in-law, Mr. E. W. Backus, in what is now the Backus-Brooks Company, lumber manufacturers and merchants of Minneapolis. Mr. Horr was vice president of the latter organization at the time of his death. He died at his home in Minneapolis September 15, 1908, after an illness of more than two years. His high ideals, simplicity and straightforwardness of character in his everyday life made his name synonymous with business integrity for nearly fifty years in Minneapolis commercial circles. Augustus E. Horr was born at Waterford, Maine, in 1838. A native of the Pine Tree State, he possessed the rugged qualities of its hills and forests and came almost naturally into lumbering as a business, and it is a noteworthy fact that many of the ablest characters in not only the lumbering but other industrial lines of the Northwest have been from Maine and adjacent states of New England. In 1861 Augustus E. Horr enlisted in Company G, First Maine Volunteer Infantry, and saw active service with that regiment, contracting while in the service a malignant form of measles, which left his eyes in a very weak condition. However, immediately upon being released from the hospital he rejoined his regiment, and as a result, entirely lost the sight of one eye. He was an ardent patriot and for many years was identified with the Rawlins Post No. 126 of the Grand Army of the Republic at Minneapolis. For many years he was also a trustee of the First Congregational Church of Minneapolis. Mr. Horr's associates knew him to be a man with whom hard work was a native characteristic, straightforward in all his dealings, a keen and efficient business man of scrupulous honesty whose word was as good as his bond and the mere mention of his name in connection with any business or enterprise was sufficient guaranty of its worthiness. Mr. Horr is survived by his widow, Emily Leavitt Horr, a daughter of Josiah Leavitt, and by two children - a daughter, Mrs. E. W. Backus, and a son, Mr. Renselaer Leavitt Horr. Mrs. Horr still resides at the old homestead, No. 421 Fourth Street, S.E., Minneapolis, and her son, Mr. Renselaer L. Horr, resides at No. 419 Fourth Street, S. E., next door to the place where he was born. He has followed in his father's footsteps in the lumber business and is one of Minneapolis' progressive business men
