Hiram Horton possessed fine social qualities, was well skilled in
music, and always led the singing in the Congregational Church until
prevented by the infirmities incident to old age.
"With the most limited opportunities for early education, he
became a great and profound thinker. He was an upright and
conscientious man, and largely shared the esteem of all who
knew him. He was a most sincere and ardent Universalist, living
the life of the Christian, and dying in the full and perfect
triumph of Gospel faith and hope. He and his wife were, for
many years, members of the Congregational Church of Chester;
but about thirty years before his death, he and his wife
embraced Universalism, and avowed it openly ever afterwards.
Nevertheless, they continued to support the church and worship
within its walls, and we hazard nothing in saying that there
was no man in Chester, nor in all the region round about it,
who was more generally and highly respected for manly and
Christian character than Hiram Horton. Some time before his
death he had requested that a minister of the Universalist
denomination should attend his funeral services; but the pastor
of the church, the Rev. Luke I. Stoutenberg, and others,
refused to let them into the church, notwithstanding that the
salary of that preacher was paid in part by the 'Horton Fund,'
and the church itself had been built mainly by the Hortons.
His funeral had to be attended in the Presbyterian Church,
the Presbyterians generously offering them the use of their
church."--_Obituary of Hiram Horton._

"This is my hand-writing, so, through the mercy of the Lord, my
life is yet prolonged, but I am aged (77) and infirm, going the
down hill of life, living on borrowed time. Oh, how important
to be prepared for the final change!
"Of my sisters, the oldest is gone, taken in her 84th year,
departed suddenly, gone, we trust, to 'Heaven above, where all
is love,' and where sorrowing and sighing can never enter."
In another letter, she says: "Our home is pleasant, we live in a
beautiful village of New Jersey. Yes, little New Jersey,
"'With all thy faults, I love thee still;
I see beauties on every hill;
Thy rocks in grandeur rise;
Thy rills are charming in my eyes.'"
She wrote and published a very pretty obituary of her sister, who
died recently.
