JOSEPH HOMET HORTON was born 2 June, 1842, at Terrytown, Bradford Co., Pa., the youngest son of Major John Horton, and the only son of his wife, Lydia Horton, _nee_ Kimball. In boyhood Joseph possessed a person of rare physical beauty, and evinced a bright and happy disposition. He was frank spoken, open, genial and social. His native industry, all through his childhood and youth, displayed great aptitude for business. In all these respects, as was the boy so is the man. After availing himself of the schools of his native town, in his 16th year he entered upon the English and the commercial courses of study, in the Susquehanna Collegiate Institute, at Towanda, remaining there through 1858 and 1859. He then continued as an efficient clerk in his father's store until August, 1862. The war for the Union had burst upon the nation. His heart was ablaze with enthusiasm for the Constitution and the Union. His father was proud of the valor and patriotism of his young son. Joseph had become as his right hand, and was his main-stay in business. The fond father hesitated to spare a son so dear to his heart, and so essential to the success of his affairs. At length, like tens of thousands of other fathers, he made the sacrifice for his country, consented, and allowed Joseph to enlist on the 7th of August, 1862, at Wyalusing, under Captain George W. Jackson, in Company "A," of the 141st Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. Joseph was a week afterwards (August 14th,) elected 1st Lieutenant of this Company.
