Milton Horton is now (1873) living at West Salem, Wis. He has been a farmer all his days, an occupation as honorable, certainly as useful, as any other known to the family of man. The intelligent, conscientious, upright farmer is, and of right should be, one of the lords of our happy country. He cannot be surpassed by any profession or class of persons.
Milton Horton moved from Orange Co., N. Y., to Milan, Ohio, in 1835, and thence to West Salem, Wis., in 1865. He is a worthy follower, and so also was his wife, of the Good Shepherd, and he has always commanded the respect and esteem of all who have known him.
V. Nicholas Townsend, son of [Benjamin Horton and Hannah Vance], born in Belvale, N. Y., 20 Jan., 1805; married 1. in New York City, 19 August, 1827, Sarah Van Orden, of Jersey City. She died in Cincinnati. He was married 2. in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Eliza A. Smith.
He commenced in New York City about 1826, the business of setting iron railings around door-steps and iron fences in front of dwelling-houses and other buildings. In 1832 he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and carried on his business on a large scale, manufacturing as well as setting iron-railings, mantels, grates, and fencings, giving employment to quite a number of workmen. He was doing a large business in and about Cincinnati, and was reputed to be worth $200,000.
In July, 1857, he was killed by one of his employees. The murderer was arrested, tried, convicted, and executed.
By his sudden death his business matters were so deranged that his wife and family realized only a small part of his large estate.
Children, by 1st wife:
1. David Claudius, born in New York City, 1828; dead. 2. [Benjamin J.], born in New York City, 13 Feb., 1831.
