his present place of residence. He was married at Cold Springs
Village, 8 Sept., 1850, by Rev. S. W. Jones, to SARAH DAVENPORT, only
daughter of William Davenport and Euphemia Perry, and born at Cold
Springs.

E. J. Horton came to Peekskill in 1844. He has been an editor and
publisher for twenty-four years, and he still follows the same
occupation, being at present editor and publisher of the "_West
Chester News_," an interesting and useful weekly paper, published at
White Plains, the Seat of Justice of West Chester Co., N. Y. He spent
two years at the New York University, but by reason of ill-health,
he was compelled to leave it. He also studied medicine, but for the
same reason he was forced to give this up also, and abandon all ideas
of a professional life. Publishing and editing seemed better adapted
to his health, and in this occupation he has been successful. He is
now (1875) also publishing a paper at Port Jervis, N. Y.
