      Lydia A. LORD HORR was born in Leyden, N.Y., 1810, and died at Ravenna 1892, aged eighty-one years. Mrs. HORR's years were adorned with all the virtues of a Christian life. She engaged in teaching with rare success, until her marriage with Rev. Wm. HORR, of Denmark, in 1833. A year later he died, and four years afterward she married Abner HORR, a cousin of Rev. Wm. HORR.
      By this marriage she became the mother of Gurdon L. HORR, a prominent business man of Ravenna and Mrs. Sarah BEDELL, now deceased. Soon after her second marriage she and her husband settled in Shalersville, where he became a prominent merchant and where he died August, 1865. After her husband's death, Mrs. HORR removed to Ravenna, which was her home for many years. Her genial and happy disposition radiated light and sunshine to all about her. Her culture and superior intellect made her life a shining example of the highest type of pure and noble womanhood, and she was loved and esteemed by all who knew her, both old and young. The life of Mrs. HORR was a singularly beautiful one, and it and its story, as daughter, sister, wife, mother, Christian friend, furnishes an example worthy of emulation, which will neither fade nor be forgotten.
