Frank Horr Killed in Auto Accident
Frank Horr of Hayward was killed and John H. Green of Oakland was seriously injury when their automobile, plunged over a twelve foot embankment seven mile from here from here on Cazadero Road [Sonoma County] last Monday. For more than an hour Green pinned beneath the tonneau of the machine beside his dead companion cried feebly for help before aid came.
The two men were on their way to Cazadero when in rounding a sharp turn, their automobile leaped the road and plunged downward turning over as it fell. Horr and Green were trapped before they could leap to safety. [this is 1916:) ]
A man and woman passing in an automobile extricated them.
An investigation tonight by the Coroner decided the fact that Horr's chest had been crushed. Horr, who was 50 years of age, was the starter of the Pit River Lumber Company.

========================================================
From the Biographical History of Clark and Jackson Counties, published
by the Lewis Publishing Co., 1891 pages 184 & 185
Riley J. Horr, a prosperous farmer on section 5, Unity Township, was born
in Lorraine, Jefferson County, New York, October 6, 1832. His parents,
Warren and Lovisa (Stillman) Horr, were born in the same county, and were
reared and married there. The paternal grandparents were Israel and Joanne
(Haskins) Horr, natives of the State of New York. The maternal grandparents
were Benjamin and Pollie (Maxon) Stillman, early settlers of New York,
but natives of New England. Warren Horr removed with his family to Wisconsin
in 1868, and settled in Adams County, where he still resides, at the
advanced age of eighty-three years; his wife is aged seventy-six years. He has been a carpenter by trade, but a farmer by occupation, and has accumulated some
property. Three sons and one daughter were born to this worthy couple:
Riley J., Amanda, the wife of Hiram Brigam; Austin W. and Leonard..
Riley J., the eldest child, was reared to farm life in the counties of
Jefferson and Lewis, New York. He lived in the former county until 1869,
when he removed to Adams County, Wisconsin and in 1872 he came to Clark
County, Wisconsin; he purchased land in Green Grove Township and in 1877
located on his present farm; he owns 177 and a half acres, 100 of which
he has reclaimed from the wild state of nature and placed under cultivation.
He also owns 120 acres in Beaver Township, section 1. In addition to his
agricultural interests he has been largely engaged in the lumber business;
he has operated a mill for a good many years, and has done a considerable
amount of logging.
Politically he affiliates with the Republican party. He has represented
the people of his township in many of the public offices, but takes no
active interest in the movements of his party. In August, 1862, he enlisted
as a member of Company E, Tenth New York Heavy Artillery, and served until
the close of the war. He was with the army of the Potomac until the
declaration
of peace, when he was mustered out of the service at Petersburg, Virginia.
He was honorably discharged at Sackett's Harbor, New York, June 30, 1865.
He was in Virginia the greater portion of the time, and was garrisoned
in New York harbor for nearly a year.
Mr. Horr was united in marriage March 14, 1855, to Miss Louisa L. Ives,
who was born in Watertown, New York, January 21, 1834. Her parents are
Joel and Mary (Ingalls) Ives, natives of the State of New York. Five
children
have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Horr: Frank, George and Bert are all in
California, and Benjamin and Fred are at home.
Mrs. Horr's parents were born in Connecticut, but were early settlers of
Jefferson County, New York, where they lived some years, and finally passed
out of this life; the father died in 1871, at the age of sixty-four years;
the mother lived to be thirty years of age, and at her death left five
children: Erastus, Louisa, Amelia, Julia and Edward. Louisa is the wife
of Mr. Horr, and Julia is the wife of S.H. Hall, of Jefferson County, New
York. Jonathan Ingalls, the grandfather of Mrs. Horr, was a soldier in the war
of 1812, and died as an English prisoner of war.
