HORACE H. LUCE, a resident of Exeter, N. 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. Her parents were natives of Maine, where her father followed
farming. She was their only child. Mr. and Mrs. Luce are the parents
of a son, Harry A., who was educated in the Exeter schools, both com-
mon and high, and at a commercial college in Boston. He married Ella
McKee of Massachusetts, and they have two children-Hazel Ruth and
Horace George. The family attend the Methodist church. By her first
marriage Mrs. Luce had a son, Irving A. Colby, who was educated at the
New Hampshire College at Durham and married Mary Bartlett of Ep-
ping, N. H. They have two children, Joseph Walker and Frederick.
