Letter written to the newspaper by Ellen in 1916:
*Thunder Hawk, S. D., April 20th
Dear Review:
As so many of our friends wished to hear from us, I take the opportunity of writing to our dear paper. We left home April 20th, after bidding many of our friends goodbye, for a trip to South Dakota and Montana, going by the way of Bronson, Iowa, to visit a few days at the homes of relatives, James and Martin Horr. The afternoon of our departure was very rainy. Goose Lake was full of ducks that flew up and lighted elsewhere as the train was passing
. We were met at the depot by James Horr, who conveyed us in his auto to his pleasant home. Saturday evening after supper, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Horr and I autoed to Sioux City, a distance of 15 miles, where we did some trading. From Morningside we have paved streets for five miles to the city. The street cars and autos compel one to be on the lookout constantly in driving a car. We got back at 11 p.m.
On Sunday we partook of a lovely Easter dinner prepared by Miss Carrie Patton and Mrs. M. A. Horr at James Horr's home and in the afternoon we autoed to Graceland cemetery at Morningside, where Mrs. James Horr is buried. This is a lovely cemetery and kept up in fine condition. We left Bronson Monday afternoon, going by auto in company with James Horr and Mrs. M. A. Horr and spent a short time around the city. At 7 p.m. we took the Milwaukee train and went right into the sleeping car, where we spent a comfortable night and got up greatly rested just as we reached Aberdeen. We did not have to change cars there as usual and went on to McIntosh, where we left the flyer for a local train as the flyer did not stop at Thunder Hawk, our destination which was about the fourth station from McIntosh.
The first afternoon all along the way coming to Bronson some fields of small grain were up and in other fields men were out working in the rain. Tuesday morning we had reached the level country of Dakota, where one could see as far as the eye could reach. We missed the hills and the trees and the splendid scenery of good old Iowa. It is tiresome to my eyes to look over that level country. After we crossed the Missouri River at Mobridge, passing through the Indian reservation, there were small houses, but very little land under cultivation until we drew near to McIntosh. In and around Thunder Hawk and Lemon there are large fields and a great deal of stock raising.
The farmers are busy getting their small grain in. The spring is at least two weeks later than at home, but the farmers are prospering and all seem happy and contented. We are both feeling well and enjoying our visit.
With love to all. Mr. and Mrs. S. Horr
27 Nov 1916 : LEAVE DELOIT AFTER 50 YEARS
*Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Horr to Locate Permanently on Farm Near Glen, Minn.
*Review Writer Twenty Years
*Brief but Interesting Letter From Mrs. Horr in Which She Bids Farewell to Friends
Glen, Minn. Nov. 17, 1916
*Editor Review: We arrived at Glen, Minn., November 2nd, where we have been enjoying a nice visit at the pleasant home of our cousins, Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Goff, and where we have had land interests for several years. The many lakes, with the clear crystal water and the abundance of timber looks good to us. We have decided to locate on our land and move here as soon as possible and sell our home in Deloit, which has been our home for fifty years, and for more than twenty years I acted as correspondent for the Review. And I wish to thank the readers of the Deloit items for their support, which I appreciated greatly. I tried to be loyal to all in the general news, weddings and obituaries as far as I was able to obtain the items. Where I made mistakes I beg pardon. We were in the Deloit post office for eleven and a half years, with other business interests and thereby made a wide acquaintance. I served as notary public thirteen years and hope I have contributed something toward the best interests of Deloit and vicinity. I have a great many friends there that I hate to leave; some old people that I should have loved to comfort in their old age. But my health and that of my husband is so much better here. I think the change of climate is best for us And to my dear old friends, I will say, although absent from you, you will ever be held dear in my memory. With love and best regards to all and the success and best wishes for the Review.

Mrs. S. Horr
Ex-Correspondent in the Review

P.S. Mr. and Mrs. John Goff and my husband and I visited last Sunday, the 12th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. F. Wedlock, formerly of Deloit, on Lone Lake. A pleasant home on a splendid lake. Mr. and Mrs. Jay Myers visited with us there also. We can have quite a gathering of Crawford county people for a picnic next summer. Mrs. Horr
6 Dec 1916 : Sylvester Horr will hold a public sale at his old home on Saturday afternoon, December 9th, commencing at 1 o'clock. He is preparing to move to his new home in Glenn, Minn. and will sell household goods and other articles. Died 10 Oct 1927
Note: FGS had that she died in Deloit, but considering the 1925 Census in South Dakota, I rather doubt it. However, she may have gone 'home' to visit someone? If you know the truth, please share it.

Norris McKim: About me
I was born in Deloit, Iowa in February of 1907, to Claude McKim and Olive Blanche McKim (Horr). By the spring of the same year my parents loaded my sisters and me onto a covered wagon headed west; with my father's parents and brothers with a plan
to homestead tracts of land that were adjoined. We settled in Corson/Perkins Counties in South Dakota, near what is now Thunder Hawk, beside the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. All this before I had reached my first year of age. Near to us at the same time a small rail stop was turning into a town that I would later be known as Lemmon. A place I would later call home.
Our family worked the land with two oxen for the first few years, and then a team was purchased to assist in the labors. I remember being taken away by the size of the two horses.
In the following years to come, I would be given two younger brothers, this was a big thing, because up to that point I had been the only boy of three children. Gertrude was the oldest of us, then came Bertha, followed by myself, Arlo followed in the tradition of boys next, and last born was Billy.
The boys outnumbering the girls on the farm only lasted till the younger two came of age, Arlo went off to WWII and Billy went of to school and was married, staying around where he graduated.
When Arlo returned from the war, he was minus a leg and became a Parkman at Yellowstone National Park where he remained until retirement.
Billy was killed in the early 70s by a moving car, while trying to help another motorist that had been involved in automobile accident. He was the first of us to pass.
A few hills over to the east, toward the Grand River, lived two brothers that we all grew up and went to school with. It goes to say that Bertha married Henry and Gertrude married Oko to become the Waldeckers. Each moving off to be with their new families, thus leaving just me to tend to the farm: which by this time had grown in size.
As the depression of the 30s hit, it made it tough to work an already tough land. Many of dads brothers signed over the lands they owned to the remaining and headed toward the greener pastures of California and other parts.
I stayed with Mom and Dad, I remember one fall and I had ridden one of our horses over to Oko's place to visit. A snow squall had come up and as I pressed for home it turned into a heavy white out. I had no clue what direction to go; lucky for me my horse had half an idea. My folks being worried that I might not be able to find my way in sat on the back porch, dad playing his trumpet and mom the violin. As the temperature dropped to more then I thought I could take much more of, I heard that sweet duet and it guided me to the safety and warmth of the homestead.
Time moves on, as it tends to do. My father I, along with one remaining bother worked the land; hiring help from Lakota relatives living on the reservation, when we could afford to pay them. The Lakota blood in our family tree is somewhat of an enigma and was never talked much about. Our family bond to the Sioux was however always prevalent. Chief Thunderhawk and my father would talk for hours and were the greatest of friends. The Sioux were our closest neighbors to the south. I had more of my learning from them then school as I had left school to work the farm after the third grade.
I worked the land and hunted the years away, as the years passed so to did my fathers brother William This now left two people with the task of working too many acres, even with the modern machinery we now possessed. Not far after William passed, mom took sick and this all was too much for my now aged father to bear. Dad decided to move to the town of Lemmon so mom could be close to the doctors that she now needed so badly. We sold off major parcels of the once vast lands in our holding. Land and lumber was purchased and I built them a house on Lemmon's North East side.
With less land to work, I was free to work part time on other projects, it was about this time major excavation began to clear out the town of Simm; a dam could be constructed to hold up the waters of the Grand River. This project kept me employed for a few years.
Working the new lake and the farm took most of my time. From the now submerged town of Simm sprang Shadehill Reservoir. Leaving nothing, but one small
patch of island from the hill above the town.
With in a few years of moving in to town we lost mother. The added burden of a long drought forced me to work less on the farm. This did however free me up to live a little of my own life. I went to work on the same land my father and his brothers had homesteaded with sweat and blood, but now in the employ of those who had purchased it, years earlier. It was during this time I began to court Katherine Wolfe, whom I would
marry. Marriage at the age of 53 was a new experience, but one that was long overdue.

"My [Anna Boyle Boone's] mother married Patrick George Boyle, a surgeon in the navy. He passed the Royal College of Surgeons as an assistant in 1810, and 1816 as a full surgeon : and wax' appointed in that capacity at the Stonehouse Naval Hospital, Plymouth; and on the 1st of August, -1826, he took his degree as a doctor of medicine at the Royal University, Edinburgh. My father was the son of Justice Boyle of Sligo, Ireland. He was not hand- some, but distinguished in manners and appearance, proud to a fault, but generous and charitable to the poor. During his life, we lived stylishly; he and my mother mixing among the most refined classes of society in Scotland. Besides an extensive practice, rny father had a liberal pension for life, for a periodical paralyzation of his hands, caused by the climate in the East Indies, where he was appointed by the British Government for some years. Added to this, he had his half-pay as a surgeon in the navy ; but he lived up to every guinea of his income, and, at his death, we were reduced to almost indigent circumstances."

ELIJAH HORR.
It is an important public duty to honor and perpetuate, as far as possible, the memory of an eminent citizen ? one who by his blameless and honorable life and useful career reflected credit not only upon his city, but upon the county and state as well. Through
such memorials as this at hand the individual and the character of his services are kept
in remembrance, and the importance of those services thus stand as an object lesson to those who come after him, and though dead he still speaks. Long after all recollection of his personality shall have faded from the minds of men, the less perishable record may tell the story of his life and commend his example for imitation.
Mr.Horr, who was for years prominently identified with the interests of Bloomington
and McLean county, was born in Denmark, New York, September 16, 1826, a son of
Peirsoll and Drusilla Horr. The name was originally spelled Hoar, and the founder of
the family in this country was one of the early Puritan swho located in Massachusetts.
Senator Hoar comes of the same stock. The first nine years of his life our subject spent in his native place and then accompanied his parents on their removal to Old Town, McLean county, Illinois, where the father engaged in farming until his death in 1840. The son then went to work for seven dollars per month and with the money thus earned finished paying for the farm.
Until about twenty-one years of age, Mr. Horr continued to engage in agricultural pursuits, and then worked at cabinet making in Bloomington and Clinton, Illinois,
for a time. Later he formed a partnership with A. C. Washburn [Amasa C. Washburn] and engaged in the grocery business on Main street, Bloomington, until their store was destroyed by fire.
Mr. Horr then bought out his partner, rebuilt the brick block now standing, and continued in successful business there for some years. Finally selling his store, he bought
the Hodge farm and again turned his attention to agriculture for a number of years,
returning to the city in March, 1886. He was a member of the Harber Brothers
Company, and while the other members of the firm gave their attention to the business,
he acted as overseer in the building of their fine new warehouse on South Main street
and the Lake Erie Railroad. He was a heavy stockholder in the new company at
the time of its incorporation, and was also a director of the Third National Bank for
many years. Upon the death of Mr. Dooley in November, 1893, he was made acting president of the bank and on the 5th of February, 1894, was elected to that position, which he most capably filled until he, too, was called to his final rest May 7, 1895.
On the 1st of May, 1855, Mr. Horr married Miss Martha Elizabeth Packard, of Bloomington, a daughter of Job and Martha (Clark) Packard. The father, who was an
expert gunsmith, died in Massachusetts, in 1836. The Packard family was originally
from England, and the first to come to this country located in Bridgewater, Massachu-
setts. Mrs. Horr was born in Milbury, that state; she went to school at Worcester, whither her mother removed on the death of her husband, and after attending the schools at that place and Berlin Academy, taught one term in Massachusetts before
coming west. In the fall of 1849, in company with her mother, brother Alvin, and
sister Perces, she came to Bloomington and taught on South Centre street the first
school that ever drew public money in the city. She not only conducted that school
successfully, but also taught others in dwellings for two or three years, and had charge
of the Mount Hope and Price schools and others in the county, being one of the popu-
lar teachers in this section of the state at that time. Although she has no children of
her own, Mrs. Horr has reared two, Mrs. Fannie P. Harber and J. Warren Young,
who were given all the advantages possible.
At one time Mr. Horr was a member of the county board of supervisors, and was one of the advisory committee that built the new court-house. He was chairman of the board, and during the erection of that handsome structure, he devoted all of his time during the day and many of his evenings to the business, of which he had almost complete charge. He bought all of the material, and it is mainly through his untiring labors that the county to-day has the finest court-house in this section of the state. Of the four hundred thousand dollars expended upon it, every cent was accounted for, and so ably and satisfactorily was everything done that there was not a single law-suit. Mr. Horr built the residence where Peleg Soule now lives, and there he made his home a short time, and then removed to his farm. He was one of the most successful and honored business men of the town; had the confidence and respect of his tenants and business associates, and was held in high regard by all who knew him. From the organization of the Republican party he was one of its stanch supporters. In his life span of over sixty-eight years he accomplished much, and left behind him an honorable record well worthy of perpetuation.
Those who were most intimately associated with him speak in unqualified terms of his
sterling integrity, his honor in business and his fidelity to all the duties of public and
private life. He attended the Baptist church. Although Mrs. Horr attended that church with her husband, she is a charter member of the Second Presbyterian church, and is one of the very few original members now living. She is a most estimable lady of many sterling qualities, and has a large circle of friends in the community.
