Dr. Oren A. Horr died at Lewiston, May 28, 1893, of septicaemia contracted in making a post mortem examination.
Dr Horr was born in Waterford, Oxford Co., Me., in October, 18,'M, and was educated at North Bridgton Academy, Paris Hill Academy and Lewiston Seminary, now Bates College, lu 1858 he entered the Maine Medical School at Brunswick, and in the remaining months of the years, pursued also a course of study in the 14th Street Medical School, New York City. He was graduated at Brunswick in 1861, and began the practice of medicine at North Norway, Me. April 6, 1862, he married Miss Elizabeth S. Kingman, of Waterford, Me. (now Dr. Elizabeth S. Horr), and in 1863 removed to Minot to enter practice there.
In September, 1863, he was appointed assistant surgeon 114th U. S. colored troops, and served with this regiment until the close of the war, when he went to Texas with it, where he remained until the close of the year 1865, when illness compelled him to return home.
In Texas Dr. Horr made much advance in surgical knowledge and became an adept in the performance of autopsies. Upon the recovery of his health, he resumed the practice of medicine in Minot, where he remained till 1870, when he removed to Lewiston, where he has since resided.
Dr. Horr was one of the earliest members of the Androscoggin Medical Association, of which he has twice been President, and he was long a member of the Maine Medical Association. He was one of the founders of the Central Maine General Hospital and was consulting surgeon up to the time of his death. In 1876 he represented the State of Maine in the National Medical Assembly at Philadelphia. In 1886, he went to Europe, where he took a special post-graduate course in Berlin and visited the leading hospitals of England and the continent. He was always a student and an investigator, contributing much to his profession by his careful, scientific research. Dr. Horr's life was one of unusual self-sacrifice and helpfulness. All who knew him felt his complete devotion to his life-work, and that he was indeed a physician for good and not for revenue. His death was deeply mourned by a wide circle of friends, acquaintances and brother physicians.

Obituary:
From Journal of the Maine Medical Association, vol. 10, 1920:
Elizabeth Kingman Horr
1835-1920
[Note: headstone gives birth year as 1833]
We regret to announce the death, at an advanced age, of Dr. Elizabeth Horr, widow of a physician once famous in medical Maine, Dr. O. A. Horr, of Lewiston. Those of us who are sixty years of age, or over, will recall vividly the steady appearance at our meetings, for years, of Dr. O. A. Horr, both on account of his striking personality and for his keenness of debate on almost every paper presented. He was indeed ubiquitous with us for years, and his wife, Dr. Elizabeth Horr, was equally a fluent speaker on many occasions. Together, too, they practiced medicine from the same home, one as it were, supplementing the work of the other. Dr. Elizabeth Horr was a nurse in the Civil War, one of the earliest women physicians in Maine, and she owed much of her great success by keeping out of politics as much as she could, and also out of too prominent progress on the part of women.
It is rare in the annals of medicine to be able to bear testimony to the unity of medical work accomplished by this active, capable, and happily wedded pair of medical practitioners, and for that reason we stop a moment to think it over, and to write these few words of farewell to a worker, lately laid to rest, and of a memorial to her husband, both of them once famous personages in the ranks of our Association.
In the absence of additional information concerning the death of Dr. Elizabeth Kingman Horr, we state, as a matter of historic fact, that she died suddenly at Waterford at the age of 85, in May, 1920, having retired there after a long and honorable practice in Lewiston soon after the death of her much admired husband. -- J. A. S.
