received high honors at the hands of his
fellow altizene, having been a member of
Parliament mod also Mayor of Goderioh
for a long period, For game' years push
bie aobivities were confined mainly to the
Heron and Bruce Loan and Investment
Company, of which he was managing
director. The late Horace Horton settled
in Goderioh with hie parents in 1852, and
bad be been tapered till the Summer
would have been a reeideut of the old
town for three score years and ten.

fellow oitizeue'when he was elected a
member of the first ()outwit after Lhe in.
oorporatioi.of the town in the year 1850,
He was a member of the town Oouncil
for many years, and vane sleeted mayor
by the popular vote for the years 1872,
73, 74, and °coupled the mayor's chair for
several years at a later period, He was
a J. P. for tbe county, and before the ap-
pointment of a polies magistrate his
magisterial duties were many, and always
efficiently -performed. Lt 1874 deoeased's'
name was placid before a Beform con.

Centre Moron, and reoeived the unantm-
time endoreatioo of that body, an endorse.
tion that meant election, mit the political.
cone/alone of the Centre riding electors
were strongly Reform. The late Mr.
Horton oonduoted both contests himself,
and many of the old residents will re
memb.r the energy with which be
oonduoted these contests. He 000upied
the seat for one Parliament, and was
again eleeted, defeating our, at that time
well known citizen, the tate Samuel
Platt, but reeigued after Bitting one Bee-
ston, in favor of Sir,Riohard Cartwright,
who had suffered defeat in Lennox.
Although Mr. Hortoa afterwards ooaapied
the mayor's chair and took an active
part in forwarding the town's interests,
he never again solicited parliamentary
honors at the hands of bis friends, and
though it was thought be might have
obtained a senatorship had be desired, he
never sought such an appointment, For
the past 20 years Mr. Horton devoted hie
time to bie managerial duties and the
management of bis property, and poster.
ity will say that bie dnties were faithful.
ly and ably performed. The late. Horace
florton was born in the county of II°tit,
England, almost within sound of Bow
Bells, but bie memories of the old land
were not many, as he sailed for the new
world when quite a child. The deceased
married io 1855, Hannah, daughter of
the late Sheriff Gibbons, who eurvives
him, with two sons, W. L. vine pre(. of
the Goderich Elevator Oompaey and
