History of Bustins Island Casco Bay (Maine) 1660-1960 , pgs. 23 and 24
In 1881 Elisha Stover conveyed Moses' half of the island to Henry Horr son of. The Horr's came from one of the Portland (Maine) islands??.Henry, wife Catherine and three sons: William, Jake and Levi.
Victor Coffin, a resident of Flying Point, who had fished and lobstered around the bay with his father in his boyhood, tells about the Horr family. He said, "They had a fishing sloop. Sometimes they would be gone several days at a time. During the winter on the island they would live on whatever they had stored in the house cellar, such as cabbage, turnips, potatoes and pickled pork.

It is also told by Mr. Coffin that one of the Horr boys started to build on a location, which is now the golf course, on the end nearest Goose Island. The cellar hole was about half dug when they excavated some Indian bones. They quickly ended the digging in that locality. He next chose a place on the west side. Levi (Horr), it is understood, built part of the Charles B. Henderson house which stands at present on Lot 15, Section E. The other two Horrs built nearby. These houses were typical of fishermen's houses on the Maine coast with just one or two rooms. They lived there with their wives for a few years. However, during the middle nineties, Coffin said he helped one of the families move out. In a year or so one of these houses burned and later the other was moved and added to Levi's. There are two cellar holes in evidence today, all that remain of where two of these establishments formerly stood.

Another old house in this locality is the one presently occupied by the Hightower family on Lot 7, Section E. It was known for many years as the Old Fisherman's Cottage, on the west side or in more recent years "The Birches". An old letter, written by the Kelsey family revealed that it was built in the 1880's and occupied by a Chadwick family for several years.

Soon after the Henry Horrs (brother of Orison Dana Horr) took up their residence in the Bibber Farm House on Bustins (Island), arrangements were made to teach school in the old home. In an early Town Report of Freeport (Maine), 1885, we have the following information: George H. Hughey, a teacher, reports that there are fourteen scholars on the various islands belonging to this town. My predecessor, Mr. Burr, established a school in the house of Henry Horr on Bustins Island. There has been a winter term only. We visited it at the first of the season, but owing to the bad storm, it was not visited at the close.
