Horr died at Lewiston, May 28, 1893, of septicaemia contracted in making a post mortem examination. Dr Horr was born in Waterford, Oxford Co., Me., in October, 18,'M, and was educated at North Bridgton Academy, Paris Hill Academy and Lewiston Seminary, now Bates College, lu 1858 he entered the Maine Medical School at Brunswick, and in the remaining months of the years, pursued also a course of study in the 14th Street Medical School, New York City. He was graduated at Brunswick in 1861, and began the practice of medicine at North Norway, Me. April 6, 1862, he married Miss Elizabeth S. Kingman, of Waterford, Me. (now Dr. Elizabeth S. Horr), and in 1863 removed to Minot to enter practice there. In September, 1863, he was appointed assistant surgeon 114th U. S. colored troops, and served with this regiment until the close of the war, when he went to Texas with it, where he remained until the close of the year 1865, when illness compelled him to return home. In Texas Dr. Horr made much advance in surgical knowledge and became an adept in the performance of autopsies. Upon the recovery of his health, he resumed the practice of medicine in Minot, where he remained till 1870, when he removed to Lewiston, where he has since resided. Dr. Horr was one of the earliest members of the Androscoggin Medical Association, of which he has twice been President, and he was long a member of the Maine Medical Association. He was one of the founders of the Central Maine General Hospital and was consulting surgeon up to the time of his death. In 1876 he represented the State of Maine in the National Medical Assembly at Philadelphia. In 1886, he went to Europe, where he took a special post-graduate course in Berlin and visited the leading hospitals of England and the continent. He was always a student and an investigator, contributing much to his profession by his careful, scientific research. Dr. Horr's life was one of unusual self-sacrifice and helpfulness. All who knew him felt his complete devotion to his life-work, and that he was indeed a physician for good and not for revenue. His death was deeply mourned by a wide circle of friends, acquaintances and brother physicians. Cemetery: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=92289903
