Part 14

"So far as my knowledge extends, the Hortons as a family have not been renowned for their attainments in literature, in the fine arts, or in natural science; not distinguished as warriors or statesmen, or in the learned professions. Indeed they have not been celebrated for great heroic achievements of any kind. Nevertheless, with but few exceptions, they have been industrious, peaceable, law-abiding, and very respectable citizens, possessing commendable self-reliance and independence. They belong to the middle class of the people--the class which has always constituted the basis of a good-ordered, well-regulated, and prosperous State and Nation. Let their merits and their virtues be inscribed on the tablets of our memories, and preserved for our veneration and emulation."--_Letter of Harrison Faulkner Horton, September, 1872._

Brother Israel has the old powder-horn, made by his great grandfather, Israel Horton, of Southold, L. I., N. Y. It descended to my father, by virtue of his name, Israel, and by him to Israel, my brother, who now has it, and it is to be handed down in regular succession to each of the family bearing the name of Israel. It will hold about three pounds of common rifle-powder; nicely carved on it are the words, 'Lieut. Israel Horton, his horn, made at Fort Stanwix, Nov. 3, 1758.' The same paint is yet on it that he put on it, and doubtless it will long be an heir-loom in the family of Israels."--_Letter of Allie W. Horton, 1874._

M. Horton._

The little girl whose death is mentioned above, was a remarkable instance of early piety. She possessed a precocious intellect, which very early became deeply pervaded with the religious element soon ripening into genuine Christianity. Her death-bed scene, though she was less than six years old, was like that of a matured Christian, exhibiting a brilliant trophy of Divine grace, deeply impressive and comforting to all who witnessed it.

Children:

1. Edgar Clayton, born at Clifton Springs, N. Y., 9 Feb., 1864; died 29 March, 1872. He was a wonderfully intellectual little boy. He seemed to pass through childhood and youth in a few months, and become, as it were, a man in intellect at the age of seven years. He died of scarlatina. On the third day, knowing that his sickness would prove fatal, he said, "Oh dear, I wish it would not be so long," and then added, "Methusalah only lived 969 years." At another time, when his father was fixing the pillow under his head, he said, "I would rather have a stone for my pillow, for Jacob, when he had a stone for his pillow, saw a ladder whose top reached to Heaven, and the Angels of God ascending and descending upon it." Just before he died he repeated the Lord's prayer, and then said, "I am ready to die and go to Heaven," and in a solemn tone, added, "I go down into deep water," and soon after, in a cheerful tone, exclaimed, "but I got into the Ark." On the evening of the third day of his sickness, without a struggle or a groan, "He neared the tide,--sunk as to cradle-rest and died."
