I. HARVEY ADDISON, M. D., son of Dr. Harvey Horton and Mary Bennet (_Barnabas_, _Silas_, _Barnabas_, _Barnabas_, _Caleb I._), born at Greenville, Orange Co., N. Y., 12 March, 1832; married in Middletown, N. Y., in March, 1859, to FANNY CAROLINE BEEBE, daughter of Elder Gilbert Beebe, the distinguished and able editor of the "_Signs of the Times_," and sister of the Hon. George M. Beebe, member of Congress from Orange Co., N. Y., and born in Middletown, N. Y., exact date not given. Dr. Horton graduated in Albany Medical College, Class of 1856. He established an office and commenced the practice of medicine at Middletown, N. Y., and was very successful. After his marriage he removed to Kansas, and settled at Atchison. On his way returning home from a journey East he was instantly killed, 3 Sept., 1861, by the fall of a bridge with a train of cars upon it, one of which he was in, which spanned the Little Platte River, nine miles east of St. Joseph, Missouri. The bridge had been partly burned by the rebels, but left standing ready to fall when the cars came upon it, for the purpose of killing Union soldiers. Thirteen persons were killed, and over eighty badly injured by this barbarous outrage. The Doctor's corpse was taken to Middletown, and buried in the Hill Cemetery by the side of his father, and mother, and sisters.
They had one child, Mary Evelyn, born 3 Aug., 1861. After the death of her husband, the Doctor's wife returned to Orange Co., where the little child died, 21 Oct., 1861, and was buried by the side of its dead father.
Dr. Horton was a man of superior mental capacity, possessed high literary talent, was deeply learned in his profession, and doubtless, had he lived, would have attained to great eminence in the science of medicine.
III. HON. ALBERT HOWELL, son of Dr. Harvey A. Horton and Mary Bennet, born near Brookfield, in the town of Minnisink, Orange Co., N. Y., 13 March, 1837; married in Middletown, N. Y., by the Rev. Mr. Harris, 26 May, 1864, to ANNA AMELIA ROBERTSON, daughter of William Wells Robertson and Adaline Sayer, and born in Centerville, Minnisink Township, 2 July, 1840.
Children:
1. Carrie Robertson, born in Middletown, N. Y., 22 April, 1865.
2. Mary Bennet, born in Atchison, Kansas, 12 July, 1868.
3. Rosa Sayer, born in Atchison, Kansas, 2 June, 1871.
4. Albert Howell, born in Atchison, Kansas, 1 April, 1874.
Albert H. Horton attended the public school at West Town, N. Y., until 13 years of age, and then attended the "_Farmer's Hall Academy_," at Goshen, Orange Co., New York, and was there prepared for college. He entered the "University of Michigan," as a freshman, and remained there two years, but was compelled to leave college on account of inability to study, owing to some trouble with his eyes. In 1857, he entered the law office of Hon. Joseph W. Gott, at Goshen, New York, as a law student, and remained there until December 18th, 1858, when he was admitted as a counsellor and attorney at-law, at a general term of the N. Y. Supreme Court, held in Brooklyn, New York. In 1859, he went West, with his brother, and the Hon. George M. Beebe, now member of Congress from New York State, to engage in the practice of the law. He formed a partnership in the law business with Mr. Beebe, under the firm name of Beebe & Horton, at Macon, Moscow, Mo., in 1859, but both parties soon became tired of Missouri, and removed to Kansas. Mr. Beebe soon became Secretary of the Territory of Kansas, and their acting Governor. Mr. Horton selected Atchison, Atchison Co., Kansas, as his adopted home, and has resided there ever since. In 1860, he was appointed City Attorney of Atchison, by the Mayor, the Hon. Geo. H. Fairchild. In the Spring of 1861, he was elected City Attorney of the same city, on the Union ticket. In September of 1864, he was appointed District Judge of the 2d Judicial District, of Kansas, by the Governor, Hon. Chas. H. Robinson. He was elected and re-elected to the same office, and then resigned in 1865, to continue the practice of his profession. On his entering practice, he was again elected City Attorney of Atchison, and held the position one year. In 1868, he was elected as one of the State Electors on the Republican State ticket in Kansas, and was selected the messenger to take the vote of Kansas to Washington, to be deposited with the Vice-President for Grant and Colfax. From 1861 to 1864, in addition to attending to the duties of Judge of the District Court, he edited, with Hon. John J. Ingalls, the weekly "_Champion_,"--a newspaper printed and published at Atchison. Mr. Ingalls is now the U. S. Senator from Kansas. In May, 1869, Mr. Horton was appointed, by President Grant, U. S. District Attorney of Kansas, and he held this office till July 18th, 1873, and then resigned the position. Upon the resignation of Judge Delabay, U. S. Judge of Kansas, in 1874, Mr. Horton's name was mentioned very prominently in connection with the vacant Judgeship, and at a State Bar meeting, called to recommend names for the position, Mr. Horton was presented by the majority of the lawyers present for the place. Owing to some difference of opinion among the Kansas delegation in Congress, however, Hon. C. G. Foster, of Atchison, was appointed in his stead. Mr. Horton still continues the practice of his profession at Atchison, and is the local attorney of the Chicago and Rock Island R. R. Co., and the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe R. R. Co., at that place. In March, 1873, Horton was associated with the Hon. Caleb Cushing, of Massachusetts, in the defence of Senator S. C. Pomeroy, before the U. S. Senate Investigating Committee, charged to inquire into certain pretended charges of bribery, connected with the Senatorial election in Kansas, in January, 1873. After a lengthy examination, Senator Pomeroy was acquitted by a majority of the Senatorial Committee. Afterwards the charges against Mr. Pomeroy were dismissed in Kansas, and the case against him never came to trial. In the Fall of 1873, Horton was elected by upwards of 500 majority to the Legislature of Kansas, and took a prominent part in the impeachment of Hon. Josiah E. Hayes, State Treasurer of Kansas. Mr. Horton was chairman of the committee which reported and carried the impeachment through the House, in February, 1874, and was then appointed Chairman of the Board of Managers to prosecute the impeached Treasurer before the State Senate. The State Treasurer then resigned, and the impeachment ended. In politics Mr. Horton is a Republican, but belongs to the Conservative side of the party.
The celebrated York-Pomeroy Bribery Case was brought to a final termination on the eleventh of March, 1875, and the $7,000 historic package was turned over to Mr. Pomeroy's counsel, the Hon. A. H. Horton. Great credit is due Judge Horton for his untiring efforts in having such an unjust and malicious prosecution brought to a close.

Y., 15 Jan., 1830; married in Middletown, 23 March, 1859, by the Rev. Daniel F. Wood, to John Wheeler Gardner, son of John Gardner and Elizabeth Wheeler, and born in Warwick, N. Y., 7 Feb., 1827.

Mrs. Gardner was the first to propose a GENERAL GATHERING and SOCIAL UNION and RE-UNION of the Horton family of our country, which is to take place in Philadelphia in July, 1876.
