was also an office student of Prof. Samuel McClellan of Jefferson
Medical College, Philadelphia, in 1833 and 1834. He graduated at
Jefferson Medical College in March, 1835. During the last year of his
residence in the city, he frequently visited patients in the city and
its environs, and in Feb., 1835, he was attacked with disease of the
lungs. He was examined for his degree by a part of the Professors
while confined to his bed, and he bore a very successful examination,
_all_ the Professors voting in his favor. He came home to Terrytown,
and lived but seven weeks after he reached home, dying on the 6 May,
1835. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia,
and had a complimentary letter from the Rev. Dr. Ely, introducing him
to some of the leading men of Columbia, South Carolina, and there he
would have gone if he had lived, as Dr. Ely had influential friends
there. The idea of going South to locate himself in the practice of
medicine was so deeply impressed upon his mind, that he could not
get rid of it, and he would not be satisfied until he started on his
journey, and he did start, rode four miles in a buggy, and died the
next morning at Thomas Ingham's.

of the Stewards in that church in Groveland, from 1839 to the present
time. He has frequently been the class leader of the church, and his
house has always been known as "The Methodist Tavern and Preacher's
Home." Through his efforts mainly, a comfortable church building was
erected on the corner of his farm, and it has always been known as
the "Horton Methodist Church." He was Captain of the first volunteer
militia company ever organized in that section of the country. He was
always a true republican, and frequently received the nomination of
the Whig party for a seat in the Legislature, but in consequence of
the large Democratic majority in the district, he was never elected.
With a character unblemished he has lived to an honorable old age,
and by his many virtues he commands the respect and high esteem of
