Dea. J. W. Horton
The following auto-biographical sketch of Dea. John W. Horton, contained in one of his letters, is interesting and well worth preserving:
"I was born in the town of Colchester, Delaware County, New York, on the 12th of October, 1802. When a little over three years old, my father moved to Lyme, Jefferson County, New York, which was then known as the Black River Country, and settled on the shore of Chaumont Bay, at the east end of Lake Ontario. It was here I spent my childhood and my boyhood days, learning, as I grew up, how to endure the privations of a pioneer life in a northern wilderness. At the age of nine years I began to know what manual labor meant, working on the farm in the summer, and going to school in the winter. In those days our school-houses were frequently some old log house, which some settler had built and then vacated, and perhaps left the country, or moved into better quarters. Such school-houses were splendid for hot weather, being so well ventilated; but in the winter they required piles of wood and great physical endurance to keep warm. My facilities for acquiring an education were exceedingly limited. Being the eldest of eight children, perhaps I had to take a little more of the rough end of life than some of the others.
"At the commencement of my seventeenth year, my father commenced preparing for building a new house, and I then gave up going to school, and worked through the winter at quarrying stone and getting lumber for the new house. The house was commenced in the spring and completed before fall, myself and younger brother carrying the stone and mixing the mortar.
"I remained with my father until I was twenty-four years old. I then went for myself. I purchased land, and settled permanently at Adams Centre, after my marriage. In December, 1829, myself and wife connected ourselves with the Baptist Church, at the State Road, Jefferson County, New York.
