General Notes: Husband - Robert Van Horn


He was well educated for his day, having spent a year at Franklin College. In 1837 he came to Northfield, Ohio, and taught school, and he subsequently purchased a farm of eighty-six acres northwest of Northfield Center, on which he raised cattle and sheep. He was an out-spoken Free-Soil man and attended many of the early conventions as a delegate and subsequently became a zealous Republican. He served in many local offices.
