HORR, president and treasurer of the Holland-Horr Mill Company, a pioneer of 1888, was born in Kansas, in 1862, and there the first twenty-four years of his life were passed. He followed lumbering during the lifetime of his father, then was engaged in farming for the remainder of his stay in Kansas. Upon coming to Spokane he re-entered the lumber business, serving as foreman in the yard of Mr. W. B. Turner, now principal of the Cheney Normal School, until 1890. In 1892 he and his two brothers, with Mr. T. H. Holland, formed the firm of Holland, Horr & Company which dealt extensively in sash, doors, lumber, etc., until 1897. In that year they bought out part of the stockholders of Spokane Sash, Door & Lumber Company and consolidated with that firm under the corporate name of Holland-Horr Mill Company. They manufacture all lkinds of mill work, sash, doors, moldings, etc., employing about sixty men, all skilled mechanics. They do considerable business outside of the city. The company has a saw-mill at Clayton, on the Spokane Falls & Northern Railroad, with a capacity of twenty thousand feet per day. Mr. Horr is one of the leading business men of this city, possessing an unusual degree of the shrewdness, sagacity and foresight which are characteristic of all men really successful in commercial pursuits. He is also one of the thoroughly reliable and substantial citizens of Spokane and though not ambitious for political preferment or leadership, possesses the confidence and respect of the people generally. Fraternally Mr. Horr is identified with Mr. Carleton Lodge, No. 107, I.O.O.F., with Unique Encampment, No 32, the Canton Patriarchs Militant. He is also a member of the I.O.F. He was married, in Spokane, in 1894, to Clara J. Ellis, and they have one son, Harry E. Cemetery: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=141813929
