Mr. T. K. Horton is a first-class merchant in the city of Brooklyn,
and is doing a large business. He visited Europe a few years ago,
and when in England he went to Mousely, the birthplace of the old
puritan, Barnabas. But he found no one there who knew anything of the
ancestry of Barnabas.
Mr. Horton is distinguished for his business capacity, industry,
strict integrity and honorable dealing with his fellow men. He is
highly esteemed as a citizen and Christian gentleman, and is a
liberal supporter of the Gospel.

born in Brooklyn, N. Y., 8 Nov., 1823; married 15 August, 1859, by
Rev. Dr. Thrall, to AMANDA F. WELCH, daughter of William Welch, of
Rockland, Me. Mrs. Horton died 12 Feb., 1871, leaving two daughters:
Florence Isabell and Elizabeth, who survived their mother but
a few days, the former dying the 15th, and the latter the 22d
of Feb., 1871. All died of malignant scarlatina, leaving the
deeply-afflicted father and one son, viz.:--Frederick Osborn,
born 4 July, 1860.
Mr. Horton married 2. in Brooklyn, 20 June, 1872, by Rev. Dr. Dillon,
to LYDIA A. HOLBROOK, daughter of Capt. Samuel Holbrook, of Portland,
Maine (a gentleman who weighs only about 300 lbs.), and Catherine
Rogers, of Liverpool, England, and born in Rockland, Me., 8 Feb.,
1851. Mr. Horton was formerly a partner in the dry goods business of
the old-established firm of Horton & Sons, of Brooklyn. He retired
from business some years ago, and now lives in princely style, with
his amiable and accomplished young wife in Brooklyn, 223 Clermont
Avenue. She is a member of the Episcopal Church.
