Following his honorable discharge from the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry in Florida on 9 January 1863, Henry Hay Horn (1828-1893), returned home to the city of Easton in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where he tried to regain some semblance of his old life as a civilian bricklayer. Sometime during that same decade, he then married Anna Catherine Seyler (1837-1927), a native of Petersburg in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada who was a daughter of Johann Adam Seyler (1812-1887) and Catharina Jane (Kress) Seyler (1821-1851), who was known to family and friends as “Barbara.” After settling in Easton, Henry and Catherine Horn welcomed the birth of Emma Matilda Horn (1867-1924), who was born on 1 May 1867, was baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Easton on 8 July 1867 and would later wed Charles H. Heater (1861-1922) in 1886. Six months later, Henry’s mother, Catharine (Barthold) Horn (1792-1868; alternate birth year: 1799), died at the age of sixty-nine in Easton, on 22 January 1868. Following funeral services, she was laid to rest at St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery in Easton.

Still employed as a bricklayer in 1870, Henry H. Horn resided with his wife and daughter in Easton’s West Ward. As that new decade progressed, however, his father, Joseph Horn (1791-1871), then also passed away. Following his death at the age of seventy-nine in Easton, on 21 May 1861, Joseph was also laid to rest at St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery in Easton. Two more children were then born at the Easton home of Henry and Catherine Horn: Mary Ann Horn, who was born circa 1873 (but may have died or married sometime before 1900 because her name did not appear as a member of Catherine’s household on that year’s federal census); and Charlotta Amanda Horn (1875-1957), who was born on Christmas Eve in 1875, was baptized at the Zion Lutheran Church in Easton, was also known as “Charlotte” and would later wed Patrick Kelly (born 1866-died between 1900-1918; alternate surname spelling: “Kelley”).

But less than two years after that happy holiday, Henry H. Horn’s sister, Charlotte E. (Horn) Shipe (1823-1877), then also passed away. Still in her early fifties at the time of her death in Easton in September 1877, Charlotte was also interred at Easton’s Easton Cemetery.

* Note: Charlotte E. (Horn) Shipe (1823-1877) had married butcher John S. Shipe (1819-1890) sometime during the 1850s, had settled with him in Easton, Pennsylvania and had then become the mother of: Mary Catharine Shipe (1841-1896), who had been born in 1841 and would later wed Philetus Robert Harrison (1851-1904); Joseph Horn Shipe (1844-1904), who had been born on 5 October 1844, was baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Easton on 2 March 1845 and would later wed Emily C. Drake (1848-1898); and Emily L. Shipe (1859-1910), who had been born in 1859 and would later adopt the married surname of “Stimetz.” In 1870, Charlotte (Horn) Shipe resided with her husband, John, in Easton’s Lehigh Ward. Also residing with them were their married daughter, Mary (Shipe) Harrison, and her husband, teamster Philetus Robert Harrison, and butchers Thomas Flinn and Philip Hoffman.

After the loss of his sister, another daughter then arrived at the Easton home of Henry and Catherine Horn — Ellen Elizabeth Horn (1878-1948; alternate death year: 1955), who was born on 13 April 1878, was baptized at Zion Lutheran Church in Easton on 5 September 1879, became known to family and friends as “Lizzie,” and would later wed John Samuel Phillip Reese (1870-1941). A laborer and resident of Easton’s Seventh Ward by June of 1880, Henry Hay Horn resided there with his wife, Catharine, and their children, Emma and Mary Ann, who were both attending school, and Charlotte and Lizzie, who were still pre-schoolers. Still more children soon followed: Joseph Henry Horn (1880-1891), who was born on 9 August 1880 and was baptized at the Zion Lutheran Church in Easton on 6 October 1880; Harry Hay Horn (1885-1923), who was born on 24 February 1885 (alternate birth year: 1884), was baptized at Zion Lutheran Church in Easton on 18 May 1885 and would later become a contractor; and William Gilbert L. Horn (1889-1956), who was born in 1889.

* Note: When the federal government’s special veterans’ census was conducted in Easton’s Seventh Ward in June 1890, that year’s census enumerator noted that Henry Hay Horn had “contracted piles” while serving with the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the American Civil War. A common condition that had plagued many of the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteers during and after they were stationed in Florida and Louisiana between 1862 and 1864, those hemorrhoid problems were most often the result of frequent bouts of diarrhea that had been caused by dysentery related to their unsanitary living conditions and the poor quality of water available to them for drinking and bathing.

But another tragedy was looming on the Horns’ horizon. On 13 October 1891, Henry H. Horn’s eleven-year-old son, Joseph Henry Horn (1880-1891), was fatally injured in a railroad accident and died later that same evening. According to Allentown’s Morning Call newspaper:

Joseph Horn, son of Henry H. Horn, residing at Easton, was run over on the Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad, at Odenweldertown, shortly after 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon [13 October 1891], and so badly injured that he died about 7:30 o’clock that evening at the Easton Hospital, where he had been taken in the patrol wagon. It is though young Horn made an attempt to jump on one of the cars, and slipped and fell under the wheels. His right leg was crushed into a pulp from the ankle to the hip. He was about 11 years old.

Following funeral services, Joseph Henry Horn was laid to rest at the Easton Heights Cemetery in Easton. Another son — Lawrence Horn (1892-1971) — was then born to Henry and Catherine Horn. After opening his eyes for the first time at their Easton home on 15 November 1892, he would ultimately survive and go on to marry Augusta Schmidt (1895-1977).

Death and Interment

Sadly, Henry Hay Horn died roughly fifteen months after that heartbreaking tragedy. Following his passing at the age of sixty-four in Easton on 17 January 1893, Henry was laid to rest at the at the Easton Heights Cemetery in Easton (the same cemetery where his eleven-year-old son, Joseph, had been buried in 1891).

What Happened to the Widow and Surviving Children of Henry Hay Horn?

Henry Hay Horn’s widow, Anna Catherine (Seyler) Horn (1837-1927), survived him by more than a quarter of a century. By 1900, she was residing in a home that she owned at 1408 Buttonwood Street in Easton’s Seventh Ward. Still living with her were her children: Harry, aged fourteen; William, aged eleven; and Lawrence, aged seven. Sometime after that census was taken, she relocated to New Jersey to be closer to several of her children, who had begun to forge new lives in that state. During her final years, she resided at the home of her daughter, Ellen Elizabeth (Horn) Reese, in Hopewell, Mercer County, New Jersey. After a long, full life, Anna Catherine (Seyler) Horn died at the age of ninety in Hopewell on 9 December 1927, and was buried at the Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton, Mercer County. She was survived by that daughter, as well as by her daughter, Charlotte (Horn) Kelly, who was residing in Trenton at that time; two sons, William Gilbert L. Horn and Lawrence Horn, who were also living in Trenton; and one sister, Mrs. L. Whelan, of Trenton.

Henry H. Horn’s son, Harry H. Horn (1885-1923; alternate birth year: 1884), also spent much of his life in New Jersey. Employed as a contractor in 1910, he resided at the home of his married older sister, Emma (Horn) Heater, and her family at their home in the city of Trenton. Very little else is present known about his life after that year’s federal census was enumerated. What is known for certain is that Harry Hay Horn died in his late thirties at the home of another of his sisters, Ellen Elizabeth (Horn) Reese, at Ewing Gardens on Pennington Road in Ewing Township, Mercer County, on 24 August 1923. Following funeral services, he was also buried at the Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton.

Following her marriage to Charles H. Heater (1861-1922) in Phillipsburg, Warren County, New Jersey on 11 April 1886, Henry H. Horn’s daughter, Emma Matilda (Horn) Heater (1867-1924), settled with her husband in New Jersey, where they became the parents of: George W. Heater (1887-1927), who was born on 28 May 1887 (alternate birth year: 1888); Harry H. Heater (1888-1933), who was born in June 1888 (alternate birth years, 1887, 1890); and Anna M. Heater (1894-1964), who was born in February 1894 and would later wed Frank C. Barber (1893-1963). Sometime after Anna’s birth, Emma (Horn) Heater and her husband packed up their family and moved to the city of Easton in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. More children soon followed: Mary E. Heater (1896-1972), who was born in July 1896 (alternate birth year: 1895) and would later wed Leroy B. Knowles (1894-1958); Frank Edward Heater (1899-1985; alternate birth year: 1898), who was born on 29 July 1899 and would later wed Carrie May Rogers (1910-1995); and Lyman Edward Heater (1900-1970), who was born on 29 July 1900. Sometime after Lyman’s birth, Emma (Horn) Heater and her husband then packed up their children again and moved back to New Jersey, where their son Charles William Heater (1905-1956; alternate middle initial: “E”), was born on 28 May 1905 (alternate birth year: 1902). Baptized at the Fourth Presbyterian Church in Trenton on 7 July 1905, he would later go on to marry Alice M. Woolverton (1907-2000). Another daughter was then born — Viola May Heater (circa 1908-1908), who was christened at her parents’ home in Trenton on 20 February 1908 by the Reverend Charles H. Elder of the Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, according to Trenton’s Evening Times. Sadly, Viola died in infancy a short time later. Following her passing in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey on 24 August 1908, Viola was laid to rest at the Greenwood Cemetery. In 1910, Emma’s Trenton household also included her twenty-five-year-old brother, Harry Hay Horn. Another daughter — Catherine Heater (1912-1964) — was then born in Trenton in 1912; she would later go on to marry Thomas McLaughlin (1899-1977). During the summer of 1915, the household of Emma (Horn) Heater at 10 Jefferson Street in Trenton’s Fifth Ward included her husband, Charles, who was employed as a “crematory burner,” according to that year’s New Jersey State Census, and their children, Harry, who was a teamster; and Frank, Lyman, Charles, and Catherine. Still renting a home with her husband on Jefferson Street in Trenton’s Fifth Ward in 1920, their household still included Harry, Frank, Lyman, Charles, and Catherine. Their son, Frank, was now also employed as a teamster. Widowed by her husband when he passed away at the age of sixty-one in Trenton, on 13 November 1922, and was then buried at that city’s Greenwood Cemetery, Emma Matilda (Horn) Heater died at the age of fifty-six in Trenton on 20 January 1924, and was also buried at the Greenwood Cemetery.

Following her marriage to John Samuel Phillip Reese (1870-1941) in Phillipsburg, Warren County on 25 March 1896, Henry H. Horn’s daughter, Ellen Elizabeth (Horn) Reese (1878-1948), who was known to family and friends as “Lizzie,” became the mother of: Emma Reese (1895-1975), who was born in Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania in February 1895 and would later adopt the married surname of “McBride”; and Ethel Reese (1898-1978), who was born in June 1897 and would later wed Joseph Johnson before marrying Clifford Hedden (1902-1978). In 1900, Ellen E. (Horn) Reese resided with her day-laborer husband, John Reese, and their two daughters, Emma and Ethel, in Phillipsburg’s First Ward. Also living with them was a thirty-eight-year-old boarder and cook, Rosa Johnson. In 1910, Ellen and John Reese and their two daughters resided in the First Ward of the city of Easton in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where her husband was a laborer who found “odd jobs.” Ellen also helped to support her family as a servant at another Easton family’s home, as did their fifteen-year-old daughter, Emma, who worked as a packer at a factory. In addition, they received income from Merian Shick, a seventeen-year-old boarder, who was also employed as a servant elsewhere in Easton. But by 1920, Ellen and John Reese were residing in the First Ward in Trenton, Mercer County, New Jersey. Although she and her husband were both unemployed that year, they were able to survive on the wages brought in by their son-in-law, Joseph Johnson, who was employed as a truck driver by the City of Trenton and had married their daughter, Ethel, who was also residing at the Reese’s home with her son, John Johnson. Also residing with the Reese family were: Joseph Johnson’s seventy-five-year-old aunt, Marie Wheeler; Joseph’s twenty-one-year-old niece, who was also named Marie Wheeler and was employed as a forewoman at an electric shop; and a twenty-seven-year-old boarder, Charles Palone [sp?], who was employed as a truck driver for an ice cream factory. By 1930, however, Ellen (Horn) Reese’s household was located in Ewing Township, Mercer County and had dwindled to include just her husband and unmarried daughter, Emma. Renters, they were supported solely by her husband’s wages as a fish dealer. Residing without their daughters in a rented home in Hamilton Township, Mercer County in 1940, their household included a step-brother of John Reese and three lodgers. Widowed by her husband when he passed away in his early seventies in Hopewell, Mercer County on 11 February 1941, Ellen E. (Horn) Reese subsequently died in her late sixties in Hamilton, Mercer County on 3 December 1948, and was interred at the Colonial Memorial Park in Hamilton. She was survived by: her daughters, Emma (Reese) McBride and Ethel (Reese) Johnson; one sister, Charlotte (Horn) Kelly; and two brothers, William and Lawrence Horn (Trenton, New Jersey).

Henry H. Horn’s son, William Gilbert L. Horn (1889-1956), also relocated to the city of Trenton sometime after the turn of the century. By 1905, he was employed by the City of Trenton at its crematorium — a position he continued to hold for decades, according to his obituary. Still single in 1917, he was documented by federal government draft records that year as an employee of the Trenton Transportation Company. By 1930, he was described on the federal census as a city cemetery laborer and an unmarried boarder who resided at the Violet Street home of Laura Johnson in Trenton’s Seventh Ward — an arrangement that continued into the 1950s. Employed as a watchman at the city’s crematorium during his final years, William G. L. Horn died in his mid-sixties in Hamilton on 17 March 1956, and was also subsequently buried at the Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton.

Following her marriage to Irish immigrant Patrick Kelly (born 1866-died between 1900-1918; alternate surname spelling: “Kelley”) in Phillipsburg, Warren County, New Jersey on 17 January 1896, Henry H. Horn’s daughter, Charlotta Amanda (Horn) Kelly (1875-1957), who was known for much of her life as “Charlotte,” settled with her husband in Easton, Pennsylvania, where they became the parents of: Mary Beatrice Kelly (1895-1967), who was born in November 1895 and would later wed Joseph John Feehan (1895-1973); and Martha E. Kelly (1898-1921), who was born in May 1898. By the summer of 1900, the Kelly quartet was residing at 20 Detweilers Court in Easton’s Fourth Ward. Widowed by her husband sometime after the federal census of 1900 was enumerated, but in or before 1918, Charlotte A. (Horn) Kelly subsequently relocated to New Jersey. By 1930, she was living at the home of her daughter, Mary (Horn) Feehan, at 122 Burton Street in Trenton’s Fifth Ward. Also living with them were Mary’s husband, Joseph John Feehan, Sr., a wholesale motor oil salesman, and their sons: Joseph John Feehan, Jr. (1917-1970), who had been born in Trenton on 11 June 1917 and would later wed Elizabeth Ann Gribbin (1916-2005); Robert Feehan (1919-1943), who was born in Trenton in 1919 and would later be declared as missing in action during World War II; and Richard Emmett Feehan (1921-1986), who had been born in Trenton on 2 June 1921 and would later wed Ruth Munnion (1919-1982). Still part of her daughter Mary’s Fifth Ward household in 1940, which included Mary’s husband and three sons, Charlotte Amanda (Horn) Kelly continued to reside with her daughter into the late 1950s. After a long full life, Charlotte died in her early eighties in Mercer County on 12 June 1957, and was buried at Saint Mary’s Cemetery in Hamilton, Mercer County.

* Note: Second Lieutenant Robert E. Feehan, who was a grandson of 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry veteran, Henry Hay Horn, was assigned to the 80th Fighter Squadron of the 8th Fighter Group of the U.S. Army Air Force during World War II. After failing to return from a mission over Wewak, New Guinea on 21 August 1943, he was declared as Missing in Action (MIA). Present day researchers believe that he may have died while being held as a prisoner of war (POW) by Japanese troops.

Following his marriage to Augusta Schmidt (1895-1977), Henry H. Horn’s son, Lawrence Paul Horn, Sr. (1892-1971), settled with his wife in the city of Trenton, where they became the parents of: Dorothy Horn (born circa 1915-died before 1971), who was born circa 1915 and would later adopt the married surname of “Higgs”; and Lawrence Paul Horn, Jr. (1918-1973), who was born on 10 October 1918 and would later wed Thelka Sophie Chebunin (1921-2011). Employed as a teamster by the City of Trenton in 1920, Lawrence P. Horn, Sr. resided with his wife and two children in that city’s Fifth Ward. More children soon followed: Joseph Henry Horn (1920-2000), who was born on 29 April 1920 (alternate birth date: 28 April 1920) and would later be awarded the Purple Heart after being wounded while serving with the U.S. Army during World War II, would marry June Ann Fisher (circa 1917-1974), and would become a teamster for Mid-Jersey Trucking Industries; Ellen Elizabeth Horn (1925-1998), who was born on 26 November 1925 and would later wed Lawrence Joseph Griffiths (1922-2003); and Lora M. Horn (1929-2009); alternate spelling of given name: “Laura”), who was born on 5 September 1929 and would later wed Michael L. Novak (1925-1979) and work for the custodial department of the State of New Jersey’s Office of the Treasury. By 1930, Lawrence P. Horn, Sr. was employed as a teamster for the City of Trenton’s crematory. Residing in a rented home at 213 Southard Street in that city’s Fifth Ward with his wife, their household also included their children: Dorothy, Lawrence Jr., Joseph, Ellen, and Lora. Another son — Charles R. Horn (1931-2009) — was then born on 29 January 1931. (Charles would go on to serve in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War and would later marry Theresa Jonkowsky and work for General Motors as a shipping clerk.) Still employed as a truck driver for his city’s crematory during the 1940s — a job he would continue to hold into at least the early 1950s) — Lawrence Horn, Sr. resided in a rented home at 622 North Clinton Avenue in Trenton’s Eighth Ward with his wife, Augusta, who was employed as a florist at a flower shop, and their children: Ellen, Lora and Charles. By 1950, however, his wife was no longer employed. Their household at 23 Clinton included their unmarried children, Lora, who was employed at a porcelain factory, and Charles, who was employed as a clerk at a food store. During the years prior to his retirement, Lawrence Paul Horn, Sr. worked as a truck driver for the City of Trenton’s sanitation department. He died at the age of seventy-eight at St. Francis Hospital in Trenton on 12 October 1971, and was also laid to rest at Trenton’s Greenwood Cemetery.

What Happened to the Siblings of Henry Hay Horn?

Following her marriage to merchant John Evans (1815-1904) during the late 1830s or early 1840s, Henry H. Horn’s older sister, Mary Isabella (Horn) Evans (1821-1904), had settled with her husband in Lower Mount Bethel Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. They were the parents of: Ellen C. Evans (1841-1903), who had been born on 25 September 1841 and would later wed Lorenzo I. Weaver (1838-1922); Anna Margaret Evans (1843-1923), who had been born on 2 September 1843, was also known as “Maria” and would later wed the Reverend Wilmer Coffman (1840-1908); Edwin Lewis Evans, M.D. (1845-1900), who had been born on 17 September 1845 and would later become a physician and the husband of Elizabeth Virginia Montague (1848-1920); Pennell Coombe Evans (1848-1919), who had been born in Richmond, Northampton County on 31 May 1848 and would later wed Caroline Wolslayer (1850-1936); John Wesley Evans (1850-1906), who had been born in Martins Creek, Northampton County on 22 November 1850 and would later wed Mary Callum Towles (1852-1916); Mary C. Evans (1853-1920), who had been born on 24 March 1853 and would later wed John Taylor Dungan (1838-1914); Ida Keturah Evans (1856-1943), who had been born in Richmond, Northampton County on 29 February 1856 and would later wed Horace Little Magee (1850-1922); Joseph Horn Evans (1860-1895), who had been born in Richmond on 9 April 1860 and would later wed Hattie Grove Rodenbough (1859-1891); and Evan William Evans, M.D. (1863-1927), who had been born in Richmond on 17 January 1863 and would later become a physician and the husband of Ella May Yeomans (1863-1939). In 1870, Mary (Horn) Evans resided in Easton’s Lehigh Ward with her husband and their children: Ellen, Pernell, Mary, Ida, Joseph, and William. Also residing with them was Frank Wolslayer (1853-1873), the future brother-in-law of Pernell Evans. Their lives were relatively comfortable ones, supported by the wages that the family’s patriarch, John Evans, earned as a bookkeeper. His real estate and personal property were valued by that year’s federal census at three thousand four hundred dollars (the equivalent of roughly eighty-seven thousand U.S. dollars in 2026). By 1880, however, John Evans was employed as a justice of the peace and the Evans family waa residing at 432 Ferry Street in Easton’s Fifth Ward. The household that year included patriarch John Evans and matriarch Mary Isabella (Horn) Evans, as well as their daughter, Mary A. Evans, who was employed as a school teacher, and their sons, Joseph and William Evans, who were still both students. In 1900, Mary (Horn) Evans and her husband, John, were “empty nesters” at their Ferry Street home. Her husband was described as a “landlord” by that year’s census enumerator. Four years later, Mary Isabella (Horn) Evans was gone. Following her death at the age of eighty-three in Easton on 7 May 1904, she was buried at the same cemetery where her husband would also be buried just weeks later (the Easton Cemetery in Easton).

Following her marriage to George G. Zane (1825-1886) in 1854, Henry H. Horn’s older sister, Anna Erle (Horn) Zane (1826-1889), settled with her husband in Northampton County. Childless in 1860, they resided in the Borough of South Easton, where her husband was employed as a clerk. Still childless as of 1880, Anna Erle (Horn) Zane and her husband, George Zane, resided in the city of Easton’s First Ward. Her husband was employed as a clerk by a railroad company. Also residing with them was a twelve-year-old servant, Eliza Maddough. Sadly, before that decade was done, Anna was gone. Following her death at the age of sixty-three in Easton in February 1889, she was also buried at the Easton Cemetery in Easton.

The American Civil War was still on the minds of Easton, Pennsylvania residents in 1870 as shown by this photo of an unidentified man standing next to a cannon atop Mount Jefferson, with the Northampton County Courthouse in the distance, upper left (public domain).

Married to Arabella Anthony (1838-1924) circa 1861, Henry H. Horn’s younger brother, George Wolf Horn (1831-1895), had settled with her in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, where they had become the parents of Georgeanna Horn (1862-1902), who had been born in November 1862 while her father was serving as a private with the 79th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the American Civil War. After sustaining a hand wound while serving with that regiment, he had subsequently been discharged, honorably, on a surgeon’s certificate of disability on 30 March 1863. Three months after returning home to his wife and daughter in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, he had then re-enlisted with Company E of the 38th Pennsylvania Militia, Emergency of 1863 in response to the invasion of Pennsylvania by Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s army, and had continued to serve with that militia unit until it had been disbanded on 7 August 1863 after the emergency had ended. He had then returned home to his wife and daughter again. Roughly four years later, he filed for, and was subsequently awarded a U.S. Civil War Pension. In 1870, George Wolf Horn was employed as a laborer and resided with his wife in Easton’s Lehigh Ward. By 1880, he was a retail grocer who resided with his wife and daughter in Easton’s Seventh Ward. He continued to reside with his wife for roughly fifteen more years, and died at the age of sixty-four in Easton in December 1895. Following funeral services, he was also interred at Easton’s Easton Cemetery.

* Note: Although the woman that George W. Horn resided with in Easton in 1870 was listed as “Frances Horn,” that woman was evidently his wife, Bella. Bella survived George by nearly thirty years. In 1900, she resided at the home of their daughter, Georgeanna Horn (1862-1902), who had married New Jersey native Harry A. Boyd (1864-1928) circa 1887 and had settled with him in Camden County, New Jersey, where they has become the parents of Bella L. Boyd (1891-1933), who had been born on 17 November 1891 and would later wed Joe Yahraes.

Very little is presently known about the adult life of Henry H. Horn’s younger brother, Gilbert Martin LaFayette Horn (1834-1888). What is known for certain is that he died at the age of fifty-three in Easton on 4 May 1888, and was buried the same cemetery where his parents had been interred — St. John’s Lutheran Church Cemetery in Easton.

Following her marriage to Henry Augustus Daily (1842-1871) during the late 1850s or early 1860s, Henry H. Horn’s younger sister, Emma Catherine (Horn) Daily (1839-1906), had settled with her husband in Easton, where they had become the parents of: Thomas Henry Daily (1862-1894), who had been born on 3 July 1862, had been baptized at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Easton on 28 September 1862 and would later marry Martha Jennie Wadhams (1863-1945) on 5 September 1882, but would then widow her when he died in Denver, Colorado on 6 March 1894; Joseph Horn Daily (1868-1901; alternate death year: 1902), who was born circa 1868 and would later marry Martha Jennie (Wadhams) Daily, the widow of his older brother, Thomas, in Bradley Beach, New Jersey on 12 August 1895; Catharine Daily (1869-1944), who was born on 25 November 1869 and would later wed Aaron J. Smith (1863-1937); and George Wolfe Daily (1871-1942), who was born on 10 April 1871 and would later wed Elizabeth N. Lieberman (1888-1950). Widowed by her husband, Henry Augustus Daily, when he died at the age of twenty-nine in Easton on 20 September 1871, and was subsequently buried at the Easton Cemetery, Emma Catherine (Horn) Daily continued to raise her children in Easton. Married for a second time to railroad brakeman Charles Denney sometime before the federal census was enumerated in Easton’s Fifth Ward in June 1880, she and her husband continued to reside in Easton. Also living with them that year were her four children from her first marriage: Thomas, Joseph, Catharine, and George Daily.

* Note: Emma Catherine (Horn Daily) Denney reportedly died in 1906. Researchers have not yet identified her burial location.

Following her marriage to Thomas J. Middaugh (1841-1872; alternate surname spelling: “Middagh”) in Easton on 22 April 1865, Henry H. Horn’s younger sister, Ellen Matilda (Horn) Middaugh (1842-1913), settled with him in Easton, where they became the parents of Mary Parmley Middaugh (1868-1937), who was born on 4 January 1868, would later become known as “Mame” and would work as a dressmaker but would never marry. Widowed by her husband when he died in his early thirties in March 1872, and was subsequently interred at the Easton Cemetery, Ellen Matilda (Horn) Middaugh continued to raise their daughter in Easton as a single mother until marrying for the second time (sometime before the summer of 1880) — to Ervin P. Plattenburg (born circa 1850-died before 1890). By June of 1880, Ellen, who was known to family and friends as “Tillie,” was living at 120 South Fifth Street in Easton’s Fifth Ward with her second husband, who was employed as a paper hanger. Also living with them was her daughter from her first marriage, Mame Middaugh, who was still attending school. Ellen (Horn Middaugh) Plattenburg and her second husband, Ervin Plattenburg, then welcomed the birth of their son, Albert Roy Parker Plattenburg (1881-unknown), who was born in Easton in 6 September 1881. Widowed by her second husband sometime before the federal census of 1900 was enumerated on 4 June that year, Ellen (Horn Middaugh) Plattenburg was documented as a dressmaker who resided in her own home at 1306 Morris Street in Philadelphia’s Twenty-Sixth Ward. Also living with her were: her daughter from her first marriage, Matilda Middaugh [sic, “Mary” or “Mame Middaugh”], who was employed as a dressmaker; Ellen’s son from her second marriage, Roy P. Plattenburg, who was employed as an express driver; and two roomers, Julia Deaney, a twenty-one-year-old saleswoman, and Thomas McNulty, a twenty-five-year-old motorman. Four months later, Ellen’s son, Roy Plattenburg, married Florence Cranston Long in Philadelphia on 3 October 1900. By 1910, however, Ellen and her daughter were renters at 1316 Tasker Street in the Twenty-sixth Ward. Ailing with intestinal cancer during the final months of her life, Ellen Matilda (Horn Middaugh) Plattenburg died at the age of seventy in Philadelphia on 21 March 1913. Following funeral services, she was buried at the Mount Moriah Cemetery in Philadelphia.

* Note: Although multiple family trees on Ancestry.com indicate that Henry Hay Horn had another younger brother — William Frederick Horn, who had been born circa 1846, had migrated west to Iowa and had died in Iowa circa 1913 — that data appears to be incorrect. Most of those trees do not cite sources for that potential relationship, and, unfortunately, the few that do provide “sources” for their research cite 1850 and 1860 federal census records for Easton, Northampton County, Pennsylvania, which recorded a William F. Horn residing at the home of Melchior Hay Horn (1820-1890) and Matilda Louisa (Heller) Horn (1823-1903) during the 1850s and 1860s.

The Henry Hay Horn (1828-1893) who served with the 47th Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War, however, was not a son of Melchior and Matilda Horn. He was a son of Joseph Horn (1791-1891) and Catharine (Barthold) Horn (1792-1868; alternate birth year: 1799). Therefore, William Frederick Horn (circa 1846-1913) could not possibly have been a brother of Henry Hay Horn.
