      Horr Afredl P 431001 p2 Al Horr, Last of Pioneer Family, Passes Away; The last of a real pioneer family of Stanislaus County vanished Sunday as Alfred Perry Horr, youngest of seven brothers, of whom the oldest was the first white child born in this county, died at Palo Alto. The family settled on the east side in what was later the Modesto area, in gold rush days and Benjamin, the oldest, was born about 1850. In order, John, Henry, William, Frank, Charles and Alfred followed, the latter being born in 1862, making him 81 years of age. Later, most of the brothers moved to the West Side, locating in the Del Puerto Canyon country, and there were so many in that section that it became family saying that they "built the hills." But as the generations rolled by, the families have grown and scattered until Mrs. Bert Sykes, daughter of Henry Horr, is the only one of the family remaining here. Another interesting item in connection with the family history is that the second, third and fourth sons -- John, Henry and William, all passed away on their 73rd birthdays. Funeral Wednesday -- Al Horr had resided in this county all his life with the exception of the past year, when he spent considerable time with a niece, Mrs. Edna Roberson of Palo Alto, at whose home he passed away. The remains were brought here for interment Wednesday afternoon, services being held at the Evans Funeral Chapel with Rev. Spiese of Palo Alto presiding, followed by interment in Del Puerto Cemetery.
