      Obituary:
      SOUTH BERWICK, Maine ? Cecil R. Horr, 92, of Old Mill Road, died Saturday, March 26, 2011, at the Wentworth-Douglass Hospital.

      Born July 31, 1918 in Rochester, N.H., Cecil was the son of Virgil L. and Marion (Newcomb) Horr, the seventh of nine children.

      He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II and returned to work in his father's print shop after the war. After his father's death in 1966, Cecil, along with his wife Minnie, owned and operated the Chronicle Print Shop, which at one time published both the South Berwick Chronicle and North Berwick Enterprise weekly newspapers.

      Cecil was a member of the First Baptist Church, served on the board of trustees and taught Sunday school for many years. He also wrote and published "175 Years of Service," a history of the church.

      Cecil served on the South Berwick School Board and was a member of the Quamphegan Grange, VFW , American Legion and the Old Berwick Historical Society.

      Cecil was predeceased by his wife of 60 years, Minnie (Blaisdell) Horr; and is survived by his three children, daughter, Sharon Stuart and husband, John, of South Berwick, son, Leslie Evans and wife, Sheila, of South Portland, and daughter, Noreen Byrne and husband, Charles, of East Falmouth, Ariz.; and many nieces and nephews.

      Cecil had a great sense of humor, cared deeply for his family and was always ready to help his family, friends and those in need.

      Friends may call Thursday from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the McIntire-McCooey Funeral Home, 301 Main St., South Berwick, Maine. Funeral services will be held 2 p.m. Friday at the First Baptist Church, 130 Main St. Burial will be in Woodlawn Cemetery in the spring.
