General Notes: Husband - Dr. David Horner, M.D.

---

He received his classical education in the Latin school of Gettysburg, Adams County, Pennsylvania, which was taught by Samuel Ramsey. He read medicine in the office of Dr. James H. Miller, a cultivated and eminent physician of his day, and who subsequently became professor of the theory and practice of medicine in the Washington Medical College, at Baltimore, Maryland. From this institution Dr. Horner received his degree of M. D. As a physician he was faithful in the performance of his duty and was very successful. In politics the Doctor was a firm Whig and a decided anti-slavery man. In 1824 he was elected coroner of Adams County, to serve three years, and in 1842 was elected the second time to the same office. In 1844 he was nominated as a Whig candidate for Congress in the district, then composed of the counties of York and Adams. In this contest he was defeated by his Democratic opponent, Moses McClean, Esq., of Gettysburg, the latter having received a majority of 872 in York County, and the former a Whig majority of 711 in Adams County. The Doctor was elected in 1856 one of the associate judges of Adams County, a position he honorably and acceptably filled for two years. [HAC 1886, 356]
