BIOGRAPHICAL
three daughters: Flora, Josephine and Hattie, all residing at home, 674 Walker street. Frederick W. Horn was a man of great prom- inence, as his protracted and distinguished services in the Wiscon- sin legislature strongly indicate, for he was a member of the Senate during the years of 1848-49-50 and 1891-93 ; a member of the House in1 1851-54-57-59-60-67-68-72-75-82-87 and '89.

Among his friends he is highly thought of, being a royal good fel- low, who considers all mankind as brothers.
