HORR, Stuart B., son of Josiah and Cora (Heald) Horr, was born at Lovell, Oxford County, Maine, February 28, 1846. He was reared upon a farm. He enlisted in 1864 in the Thirty-Second Maine Regiment, and took part in the battles of Wilderness, Cold Harbor, Petersburg, and others. He came to Waterford [Vermont] in 1871, and for several years worked here for different farmers. He married in 1878, Celia, daughter of Samuel and Lucinda Church of Waterford. Soon afterwards he bought the Huntoon farm and conducted it about a dozen years, when he purchased the paternal home farm of his wife, a fine farm of 165 acres on Connecticut river, where he has since resided.
Mr. Horr found this farm somewhat neglected, only keeping a small stock. He engaged in dairying, and as his wife is an excellent butter maker, soon found a ready and constant demand for all of his butter at Littleton, New Hampshire, at remunerative prices. He keeps a dairy of twenty or more well-selected cows and makes about 5,000 pounds of butter per annum. He usually keeps about forty head of cattle, ten horses and colts, and twenty swine, and the farm has so increased in fertility that in 1899 he built a model barn, 75x44 feet, with ell 35x26, with entire basement. Mr. Horr is an excellent horseman, and has reared and sold many good ones, and also kept and trained horses and colts for others.
Mr. Horr has acceptably served the town of Waterford [Vermont] many years as constable and collector. He is a man of quiet habits, a good neighbor, public-spirited citizen, and successful farmer.
