General Notes: Husband - Moses Horner


He was reared to farm work. He received only the advantages of about six months schooling, but so improved his time as to acquire sufficient education for all ordinary business pursuits.

On this farm Mr. Horner built a fine brick residence and made many other valuable improvements.
