IV. HON. FROST, son of Wright Horton and Ann Quereau, born in

1827, by Thomas Tompkins, Esq., to PHEBE TOMPKINS, daughter of
William Tompkins and Lydia Lane, and born at Yorktown, 25 November,
1803. William Tompkins was a cousin of Ex-Governor Daniel D.
Tompkins, of New York.
Children, all born at Peekskill:

Carpenter.

Hon. Frost Horton is a retired manufacturer, and resides at
Peekskill. He has always been a prominent man in the community,
enjoying in a high degree the confidence and respect of his fellow
citizens. He possesses fine social qualities, and, since retiring
from business, he occasionally amuses himself in hunting and fishing.
His integrity, industry and great business capacities, during the
active part of his life, rendered him a most valuable acquisition to
the community in which he carried on his business, and the articles
he manufactured were of sterling value to the farming interests of
the country.
Mr. Horton, on sending me his photograph for an engraving,
accompanied it with the following very modest and unassuming sketch
of his life:
"I was born in Yorktown, Westchester County, New York,
15 September, 1806. My parents were farmers, in moderate
circumstances. I remained with them until I was seventeen,
working on the farm in the summer, and going to school in the
winter, thus acquiring merely a common-school education. When
I was seventeen years old, at the suggestion of my parents,
I decided to learn the blacksmith trade, and commenced the
business at once, and served an apprenticeship for several
years. On the 17th of October, 1827, I married Phebe Tompkins,
and on the 9th of March, 1820, we moved to Peekskill village,
where we have resided ever since. I bought some property,
and set up the blacksmithing business. I succeeded well
in the business. In the spring of 1835 I entered into a
co-partnership business with Mr. Truman Minor, under the firm
name of 'Minor & Horton,' and went into the foundry business,
manufacturing agricultural implements, principally ploughs and
plough-castings. Our business increased rapidly, and paid us
well. We continued partners for twenty years. In 1855 Mr. Minor
retired from business, and I took in Mr. Geo. W. Depeu as a
partner, and about two years afterwards, we admitted each of us
a son, and the firm then became, 'Horton, Depeu & Sons.' Our
manufactured articles were sold in nearly every State in the
Union, and also in many foreign countries.
"In 1862 we all sold out to a stock company, formed for that
purpose. Having been in active business for thirty years, I now
retired. In the spring of 1855 I was elected Supervisor of the
town of Cortlandt, and I represented that town in the Board of
Supervisors for five years in succession.
"In the winter of 1858, I was a member of the Legislature from
this Assembly District. For many years I held the various
offices of our village, but of late have declined official
stations, preferring the enjoyments of private life."
Mr. Horton is not a public professor of Christianity, but is a
gentleman of correct moral deportment, and very temperate in his
habits. Mrs. Horton is an amiable lady, and a valued member of the
Presbyterian Church.

The following auto-biographical sketch of Dea. John W. Horton,
contained in one of his letters, is interesting and well worth
preserving:
"I was born in the town of Colchester, Delaware County, New
York, on the 12th of October, 1802. When a little over three
years old, my father moved to Lyme, Jefferson County, New York,
which was then known as the Black River Country, and settled on
the shore of Chaumont Bay, at the east end of Lake Ontario. It
was here I spent my childhood and my boyhood days, learning, as
I grew up, how to endure the privations of a pioneer life in a
northern wilderness. At the age of nine years I began to know
what manual labor meant, working on the farm in the summer, and
going to school in the winter. In those days our school-houses
were frequently some old log house, which some settler had
built and then vacated, and perhaps left the country, or moved
into better quarters. Such school-houses were splendid for
hot weather, being so well ventilated; but in the winter they
required piles of wood and great physical endurance to keep
warm. My facilities for acquiring an education were exceedingly
limited. Being the eldest of eight children, perhaps I had to
take a little more of the rough end of life than some of the
others.
"At the commencement of my seventeenth year, my father
commenced preparing for building a new house, and I then gave
up going to school, and worked through the winter at quarrying
stone and getting lumber for the new house. The house was
commenced in the spring and completed before fall, myself and
younger brother carrying the stone and mixing the mortar.
"I remained with my father until I was twenty-four years old. I
then went for myself. I purchased land, and settled permanently
at Adams Centre, after my marriage. In December, 1829, myself
and wife connected ourselves with the Baptist Church, at the
State Road, Jefferson County, New York.
"We were blessed with four daughters--all grew up to womanhood,
married, made a public profession of religion, and became
members of the Baptist Church. We occupied our old home until
the 13th of December, 1872, when death removed my dear wife
from this world of care, pain and suffering to the mansions of
everlasting rest, as I humbly trust.
"The next April I sold my farm, and I am now spending the few
remaining days of my life with my three surviving daughters,
by whose affectionate care and tenderness I am made quite
contented and happy."

"He was a good soldier; his kind and obliging disposition, and
his soldierly bearing won for him the respect and good-will
of all who knew him. His love for his country overrode all
personal considerations, and he was often heard to say, that
the life of a civilian had no attractions for him while armed
traitors refused to acknowledge the laws and its institutions
typified by the Stars and Stripes. He loved his friends and
home, but he loved his country more, and he was willing to bid
adieu to father and mother, brothers and sisters, and go into
the foremost rank of those who were battling for the right, and
he battled nobly, and fell at last a martyr for his country's
freedom. He died in Millon Prison, Ga., aged 23 years and 10
months."--_Extract of Letter of Andrew Horton._
