From: Ohio Biographical Sketches, 1876
Name: Charles William Horr
Manufacturer, was born in Avon, Lorain county, Ohio, January 25th, 1837. He entered college at Oberlin, Ohio, in 1856, and in 1860 graduated from the Antioch College. He was then engaged for one year in teaching in the Union Schools of Vandalia, Illinois, and at the expiration of that time entered the army as Captain in the 35th Regiment of Illinois Volunteer Infantry. He received his commission from the Governor of Illinois in 1861. At the close of a period of eighteen months he resigned his commission and commenced operating in stocks. About the termination of the rebellion he erected, in conjunction with his brother, the first cheese factory in northern Ohio. Since his entry into this business he has continued to sustain it with energy and success, and the house in which he is now a partner is at the present time the largest manufacturer of cheese and butter in the United States. His house is known under the style of Bramm & Horr. He is a Director of the Savings Bank of Elyria, and of the First National Bank of Wellington. Although admitted to the bar in Columbus in 1864 by the Supreme Court, he has never practised his profession, but devoted his time and attention entirely to his manufacturing business. By careful management he has accumulated considerable property, and gained a leading position by his unswerving integrity amid his fellow-townsmen. Politically, he is a liberal Republican. He was married in 1860 to Esther A. Lang, of Huntington, Ohio, daughter of Rev. Mr. Lang.

Medina County Gazette-October 3, 1894: the death of Charles W. Horr which occurred at his home in Wellington, Wednesday before noon of last week, is not only an imparable lose to that village, but will cause deep regret and sorrow through this section of northern Ohio.
He was a man very widely known of excellent business capabilities, and one who had made a remarkable success of life and all the undertakings with which he had been identified. He had a host of friends in Medina County, especially the western part. He is the brother to R G. Horr, the well-known political writer of the New York Tribune. The funeral was held on Friday afternoon and was attended by a large concourse of friends, including many from abroad.
