H., who is engaged in the sale of smallware at wholesale in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts, was born in Vermont, in November, 1850. His parents, Harvey B. and Delia (Pearson) Luce, were both natives of Vermont. The father, who enlisted in Company G, Tenth Vermont Regiment, was taken sick and died in the service. Their children were: Addie, wife ,of Chauncey E. Hayes, John, Horace H. and Sqsan E., who mar-, ried Nathan Bailey, now deceased. The paternal grandfather of our subject was Anson Luce. Horace H. Luce was educated in the common schools and subse- quently was engaged in farming until attaining his majority. He then came to this section and for some time was variously employed until he took up his present business over forty years ago. He has been quite successful in it and is now regarded as one of the substantial and prosperous citizens of the town of Exeter. Politically he is a member of the Progressive party. Mr. Luce was married in 1884 to Mrs. Cora (Horr) Colby, the widow of Aldana A. Colby, and daughter of Isaac and Phoebe (Hill ) Horr.
