By A.W. Bowen & Co "CHARLES W. HORR. Whether the causes of success in life emanate from essential elements in the individual or are quickened by extraneous circum'stances and influences it is difficult to determine with exactitude, but there can be naught but praise for the man who attains success by worthy means, commanding confidence and esteem by his integrity of character and honest endeavor. Such an individual is Mr. Horr, who merits place in this compilation as a successful rancher and stockraiser and as an honored citizen of Converse county, Wyoming. Charles W. Horr was born near Parkersburg, Butler county, Iowa, on May 28, 1864, the son of Recellus R. and Ale?na (Townsend) Horr. The grandfather Horr was of old New England stock and moved from Massachusetts to New York, where his son Recellus was born in the town of Denmark, Lewis county. The mother's Townsend ancestors migrated fror" Pennsylvania to Ohio in very early days, being among the first settlers of the state and her grandfather, Nathan Townsend, of English lineage, who was born in Pennsylvania, married in Ohio and there passed his days, holding conspicuous positions of public trust. Recellus R. Horr early went to Iowa and in 1859 there joined an expedition fitted out for a journey to Pikes Peak, later returning to Iowa, where he made his home, a pioneer settler. He was distinctively an active public citizen and worked hard for the election of Abraham Lincoln as president, voting for him and all candidates on the Republican ticket. His patriotism would have made him a soldier in the Civil War, but defective teeth caused his rejection. He died from an accident at the age of sixty-four years. Charles W. Horr was the eldest of the five children of the family and after his school life in Iowa was ended he came to Colorado and for a year was engaged in ranching on the Cache la Poudre River, thereafter, in March, 1883, coming to Wyoming, and entering the employ of J. H. Kennedy on the La Prele, remaining in that connection as a rangerider for six years, when, on February 20, 1889, he took unto himself a wife, marrying Miss Ur?ee D. Adamson, a native of Iow:a, whose father, Samuel Adam- son, was engaged in agricultural operations in that state. Immediately after his marriage, Mr. Horr purchased the relinquishments of a settler on his present home ranch, homesteaded it and engaged in stock-raising on his own responsibility. His location is a pleasant one on the La Prele River, 18 miles southwest of Douglas and now comprising 900 acres of deeded land, in addition to which he controls 960 acres of leased land. The home ranch is almost entirely under effective irrigation and producing alfalfa and hay in abundance, while a comfortable residence, with substantial barns, sheds, corrals, etc., combine to make the property a model one for the purpose of carrying out the special branch of industry in which Mr. Horr is engaged, the raising of fine cattle of a superior quality, Herefords being his favorite breed and his herd showing some thoroughbreds. \\\\"ith his surroundings and the prospects of cumulative success attending his careful and intelligent efforts, Mr. Horr can justly feel that "his lines are cast in pleasant places." He is a pronounced Republican in his political relations, belongs to the fraternal order of the Woodmen of the World, has held the office of school trustee for years, his family comprises three children, Bessie, Stewart and Ruth, and he is held in high esteem as a successful rancher, a courteous neighbor and friend and a valuable citizen."
