Obituary:
HORR, WILLIAM OWEN
(20 Oct 1939, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Illness Fatal to Pioneer Banker.
Funeral services for William Owen Horr, 71-year-old pioneer Elk City and
western Oklahoma banker who died Wednesday at Pryor, Okla., will be held
at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon at the Killough-Hullum funeral chapel here.
Burial will be in Fairlawn cemetery.
The body was being returned to Elk City late Thursday for burial.
Mr. Horr was born December 15, 1867, at Urbana, Ill. He came to the
southwest and entered the cattle business at Amarillo, Tex. in 1902. Two
years later he went to Garden City, Kans., in the banking business,
remaining there until 1906 when he came to Elk City and established the
old Cotton Exchange banks at Elk City, Cheyenne, Crawford, Rhea and Texmo,
now one of western Oklahoma's "ghost" towns. The Rhea and Texmo banks
later were moved to Moorewood and Leedey.
He operated the banks until 1914, when they were sold to the Thurmond
interests. After sale of the banks, Mr. Horr went to Fort Stockton, Tex.,
and re-entered the ranching business. He returned to Elk City in the
early 1920's and turned his attention to real estate affairs.
He built the block on South Jefferson street from Puckett's Grocery south
to Sixth street, and the business buildings along sixth street both east
and west of Jefferson on the north side of Sixth street. He also built
three brick apartment houses on North Main street and West Broadway as
well as several other residences.
He had been at Disney, Okla., for some time prior to his death. He was
stricken with his final illness while at Disney and was taken last week to
a hospital at Pryor.
Mr. Horr is survived by his widow, Mrs. Edith Horr of Grand Junction,
Colo.; a daughter, Mrs. Bea Manning of New Castle, Colo., and a niece Mrs.
Ben H. VanGundy of West Fork, Ark.

A Biographical record of Clark County, Ohio
CALVIN A. HORR.
Calvin Auburn Horr was for many years a prominent factor in business circles of
Springfield and at his death he left to his family not only the splendid financial result
of his labors but also an untarnished name. Everywhere in our land are found men who
have worked their own way from humble beginnings to leadership in the commerce, the
great productive industries, the management of financial affairs, and in controlling the
veins and arteries of the traffic 'and exchanges of the country. It is one of the glories of our nation that it is so. It should be the strongest incentive and encouragement to the youth of the country that it is so. Prominent among the self-made men of Ohio was the subject of this sketch, a man honored, respected and esteemed wherever known and most of all where he was best known.
Mr. Horr was 'born in Denmark, New York, August 9, 1818, and was a son of Jacob Horr, of Scotch descent. The schoolhouse which he attended was three miles from his home. He had limited opportunity for acquiring an education for his services were needed upon the home farm. He was the youngest in a family of nine children and with one exception all were sons. At the age of fourteen years he went to Mechanicsburg,
Ohio, living with his brother, Dr. Obed Horr, until he went to Jeffersonville, where he engaged in, the drygoods business for a time and then returned to Mechanicsburg,
where he again became a drygoods merchant in partnership with his brother, Dr. Horr. He came to Springfield to purchase the right of way for the Springfield, Mount Vernon & Pittsburg Railroad Company, of which he was the secretary and treasurer. His association with that company continued for a number of years and in its behalf he went to' Europe, where he spent five months, purchasing railroad iron for the construction of the road. On the expiration of that period he returned to his native land in the month of March, 1861, but sold his interest in the road in the same year. The following year Mr. Horr became a member of the firm of Wright, Horr & Bacon, wholesale grocers, and continued in that business up to the time of his death, which occurred January 21, 1873. He was a very successful business man and conducted a number of enterprises. For years he devoted his entire time and concentrated all his energies toward the supervision of the active details of his business and his was the heart to resolve, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute all its various transactions. He also became the owner of considerable city real estate.
Mr. Horr was twice married. He first wedded Mazey Ann Owens and they became the parents of three children: Luvenia;, Llewellyn, who is living in Oklahoma; and Elijah, who died in childhood. On the 11th of December, 1845, Mr. Horr was again married, his second union being with Miss. Elizabeth Morgan, a most estimable lady, who was to him a. faithful companion and helpmate on life's journey and who still survives him.. She was a native of the city of London and in 1832, when twelve years of age, was a passenger on a westward bound sailing vessel, which dropped anchor in the harbor of New York, after a voyage of seven weeks. She came with her parents, Thomas
and Mary Morgan. Unto the second marriage five children were born : Louise, who is
now the wife of L. C. Smith, of Saginaw, Michigan; Laura, who became the wife of
Jonathan Harshman and now lives with her mother, her husband having died in 1S74;
Lucien, who is married and has five (children, and lives in Ogclen City, Utah; Mary
L., whoi was at home; and Lillian, the widow of Edward C. Leffel. She also resides
with her mother and has lost her only only son, James, who died at the age of
eighteen years.
Mr, Horr possessed many admirable qualities. His record was that of a man who by his own unaided efforts worked hisway upward to a position of affluence. His life was one of industry and perseverance and the honorable and systematic businessmethods
which he followed won him the esteem and confidence of many. Without the
aid of influence or wealth he rose to a leading position in Clark county and his native genius and unremitting diligence formed the stepping-stone on which he mounted.
