General Notes: Husband - John Horner

---

He was born at the old family homestead on Frankstown road in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. He obtained his elementary education at home and later attended college at Washington and Canonsburg. Having completed his studies he learned the druggists' business, and in 1820 engaged in business with Thomas Cleland. They conducted a store in a log cabin at the corner of Market and Third avenue, in Pittsburgh. Here they continued to operate for a number of years. Later he engaged in the lime business, employing four four-horse teams to haul lime to the Pittsburgh market. Upon his giving up the drug business he removed to Wilkinsburg and occupied the old homestead, his father then being deceased. In 1840 he was elected justice of the peace, which office, then one of much importance, he held for about fifteen years. In 1853 he was elected clerk of the courts of Allegheny County, in which capacity he served for two terms. About this time his health began to fail him and he was compelled to retire from all active labors, public and official. In politics he was an uncompromising Republican.
