Horton Genealogy: or Chronicles of the Descendants of Barnabas Horton, of Southold, L. I., 1640.
Horton, Geo. F. (George Firman)
Horton family
Sally was a good housekeeper--industrious, economizing and a
skillful worker, often taking the premium at the County Fair
for domestic articles of her own manufacture. She possessed a
wonderfully retentive memory--readily stating, not only incidents
that occurred at any time during her life, but also dates--dates of
births, marriages and deaths of all her acquaintances, even from her
early childhood. She had a peculiar faculty of stating a fact or
circumstance so connected with others as to leave no doubt of its
truthfulness. She died in Wyalusing, 27 April, 1874, leaving to her
family and friends the consoling belief that she exchanged the cares
and sorrows of this mortal life for the full fruition of that world
"Where fragrant flowers eternal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
Where rays divine disperse the gloom,
Beyond the confines of the tomb,
The endless bliss of Heaven."
Mr. Morrow died in Wyalusing, at the residence of his son-in-law,
Andrew Fee, 10 August, 1873, where he had lain sick about four
months.
