At his late residence, near Welton, Iowa, May 20, 1900, John Black Van Horn, in the 68th year of his age.
The deceased was one of ten children, six sons and four daughters, born to Bernard and Elizabeth Van Horn, and was born in Clark county, Ohio. Early in life he professed religion, and became a faithful member of the Seventh-day Baptist church of Stokes, Ohio. In 1855 he moved to Iowa, and settled in Clinton county, at the place where he loved at the time of his death. In 1856 he was married to Martha Babcock, who survives him. He also leaves a son and three daughters. The little church at Welton will greatly miss his faithful labors. The funeral sermon was preached by the writer in the church to a large congregation of sympathizing friends. Text, John 14: 2, 3. M. B. K.
