Hon. Elijah Horton's present residence is Oswego, Kosciusko Co., Ia. In a letter bearing date 23d Sept., 1874, he says:

"You ask for a short biographical sketch. This I rather decline, further than to say that my life has been devoted to the judicial profession. I studied law in Morristown, N. J., and practiced there until I removed to Alleghany Co., N. Y., in 1832. I served as first Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of that county for about ten years. Soon after moving into the State of Indiana in 1844, I was appointed District Judge, and I have served in that office, and also as a Justice of the Peace ever since, until within a few weeks past when I resigned. In looking over my past life, I see many things that I would not do over again, with my past experience, especially would I say long and loud, NO, instead of YES, as I often did. Your letter brings to my mind views and opinions which I have been learning and experiencing for many years of my past life. Habits have grown upon me imperceptibly from my childhood. I have old diaries written in my younger days, in which I find recorded rules for my own conduct, the strict observance of which, has caused me many miles of travel and hours of labor. For illustration, I recall one or two: 'Have a place for everything, and keep everything in its place' and 'Never put off till to morrow what you can as well do to-day.' I began life under such rules, and I have always been tyrannically _ruled_ by them. If I forgot to do anything that I intended to do through the day, and happened to think of it after I had gone to bed, I could not sleep until I would get up and do it, if possible, and if not possible there would be no sleep for me that night. I have written this letter at one sitting and feel pretty tired."

The letter contained about four pages foolscap, and it is no wonder that he, now just entering his eightieth year, should feel tired. The greater wonder is that he could write at all. It is written in a bold, plain hand, giving no indications of age.

He and his wife Fannie Moore, to whom he was married 2 May, 1872; went South early in the Summer of 1873. She came North by the advice of physicians, and at her husband's request, as it was not considered safe for her to remain there during the hot season. His mother writes: "We have passed through a great bereavement. Howell died the 18 Sept. last. He was taken sick on Sabbath with yellow fever, and died the next Thursday, at eleven o'clock. Our hopes as to this world are all blasted, but we trust that he is with his Saviour, to whom he gave himself in his seventeenth year, and from that time until his death, he lived a Christian. So we may mourn not without hope."
