He attended New Salem Academy and learned the carpenter trade, later owned and operated a lumber yard, and carried on a successful business as a building contractor for many years in Spencer [Ma.]. Mr. Horr married Mary Reed of Warren in 1881, and the couple occupied a handsome home in Spencer for fifty-six years. He was an ardent lover of good music, played the piano and organ, sang in the Spencer Congregational Church for a number of years, and at one time was a member of the Spencer band.

There are a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Mrs. Horr died December 21, 1938 in Spencer. Mrs. Hathaway, the former Helen Horr, was the mother of four sons and one daughter. Her youngest son died at an early age, and she died in 1935. Mrs. Spooner was Olive Horr, and she has a step-son and lives in Spencer.
