    "Horr, Samuel D., a well-to-do farmer and sheep grower of Pulteney, was born in Prattsburg in 1829, a son of Appleton Horr, a native of Maine, born in 1795. Appleton Horr came to Prattsburg about 1820 and cleared the most of a 100 acre farm. He was a great hunter and fisherman. His wife was Hannah Decker, a native of Pennsylvania and daughter of Samuel Decker, who later removed to the town of Urbana. Their children were William, Lucy, John, Samuel, Rebecca, Betsey, Sarah, Rhoda, Mary, Emily, Elisha, and Lottie, all of whom grew to maturity. Mr. Horr died in 1871 and his wife many years before. Samuel D. remained with his father until twenty-one years of age, when he engaged as woodchopper. A year later he took up carpentry, which he followed for three years, when he was married and engaged in farming, but soon resumed his trade, which he has followed the greater part of his life. He came to Pulteney in 1849 and some years later in connection with his trade bought and conducted a vineyard. In 1881 he purchased his present farm of 130 acres and for several years has been interested in breeding fine wool sheep, now owning 250 head. In June, 1852, Mr. Horr married Sarah E., daughter of Phineas and Ellen (Havens) Casteline, early settlers in Prattsburg. Mrs. Horr was born in New Jersey. Mr. and Mrs. Horr had two children: Olney, who died at the age of eight years; and Mary, wife of Charles Skinkle, of Pulteney. They have three sons. Mr. and Mrs. Horr have been members of the Baptist church in South Pulteney for forty-five years, Mr. Horr having been trustee and deacon for [many] years. John and Elisha Horr, brothers of Samuel D., served three years each in the war of the Rebellion."
