JACOB HORR. An enterprise in Mechanicsburg which represents in its rapid growth a vast amount of well directed energy and pronounced business sagacity is the lumber and coal business of Jacob Horr, one of the well known citizens of the town. Owing to his honest and careful methods of dealing with the general public Mr. Horr finds himself the recipient of a patronage gratifying from both a personal and financial standpoint, and a continued demand fur his necessary commodities is a prediction justified by the success of the past. So nearly were his first business expectations realized that in 1889 he broadened his interests to the extent of operating a well equipped saw and planing mill, and the combination thus effected has materially augmented the output of the yards. With the exception of temporary absences. Mr. Horr has spent his entire life within the radius of his present surroundings, and he was born not far from Mechanicsburg, March 13, 1844. His parents, William and Mary (Coan) Horr, were born in Carthage, Jefferson county, New York, in which city thev were married, and from there removed to Goshen township, this county, in 1837. As early pioneers of their locality they contributed much to the agricultural prosperity, and their well tilled farm continued to be their home for the remainder of their lives. Not the least meritorious of their many claims to the consideration of the coniimunity was the rearing to lives usefulness of seven children, two of whom are now deceased. The children were taught the dignity and qutility of a model farming existence, and educationally were permitted every advantage at the disposal of their parents. With his brothers and sisters Jacob Horr attended the public schools of Mechanicsburg, and further qualified for the future by taking a course in the Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware, from which he graduated in the spring of 1866. His career at the university was interrupted in the spring of 1864. at which time he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, with the rank of corporal, and served until October of the same year. Although not a long service, he gained a fair knowledge of the horrors of war, and of the character of that grand and silent soldier, Grant, with whom he fought at and around Petersburg. Since the war he has been a member of the Stephen Baxter Post, No. 88, Grand Army of the Republic. After completing his education Mr. Horr taught school for about four vears, and then turned his attention to farming in the vicinity of Mechanicsburg until 1886. During that year he saw an opening for a live business in coal and lumber, and wisely devoted his energies to the building up of his present lucrative industry. A large measure of success he attributes to the assistance of his wife and helpmate, who was formerly Sarah Magruder. and whom he married in Mechanicsburg in 1871. Of this union there is one daughter, Nellie, who is now the wife of John B. Outram, of Lippincott. Ohio. Mr. Horr is a Republican in national politics, but has never desired or accepted official recognition. He is a member of and generous contributor to the Methodist Episcopal church. The farming and stock-raising enterprises to which he devoted several years of his life are still maintained on a large scale, but in other respects he is identified with the energetic and resourceful life of the town which has benefited to no slight degree by his admirable citizenship.
