Hiram Horton possessed fine social qualities, was well skilled in music, and always led the singing in the Congregational Church until prevented by the infirmities incident to old age. "With the most limited opportunities for early education, he became a great and profound thinker. He was an upright and conscientious man, and largely shared the esteem of all who knew him. He was a most sincere and ardent Universalist, living the life of the Christian, and dying in the full and perfect triumph of Gospel faith and hope. He and his wife were, for many years, members of the Congregational Church of Chester; but about thirty years before his death, he and his wife embraced Universalism, and avowed it openly ever afterwards. Nevertheless, they continued to support the church and worship within its walls, and we hazard nothing in saying that there was no man in Chester, nor in all the region round about it, who was more generally and highly respected for manly and Christian character than Hiram Horton. Some time before his death he had requested that a minister of the Universalist denomination should attend his funeral services; but the pastor of the church, the Rev. Luke I. Stoutenberg, and others, refused to let them into the church, notwithstanding that the salary of that preacher was paid in part by the 'Horton Fund,' and the church itself had been built mainly by the Hortons. His funeral had to be attended in the Presbyterian Church, the Presbyterians generously offering them the use of their church."--_Obituary of Hiram Horton._
