Marcus H Horner entered the service of his country on August 22, 1864, by joining the 1st New York Dragoons. He was wounded on April 6, 1865, during the battle of Sailor's Creek just 72 hours before General Lee signed the articles of surrender a few miles away. He was mustered out on June 30, 1865.

After a short illness, Mr. Horner passed away very suddenly at the hospital in the National Soldiers Home, Leavenworth, Kansas, at 6:35, March 21, 1921, at the age of 78 years, 2 months and 8 days.

In the early seventies Mr. Horner came to Montgomery county, Kansas, and bought a farm one and one-half miles southwest of Havana, where he continued to reside until recent years. On the first day of May, 1870 Mr. Horner was united in marriage to Miss Alvereta Campbell who preceded him in death passing away January 18, 1918. To them were born three children all of whom are living. Mr. Horner leaves these children and three brothers and two sisters who live in Angelica, N. Y., to mourn his loss.
The funeral services were held at the church in Havana Wednesday, March 23 at 3:00 o'clock and the remains were laid to rest in the Havana cemetery beside his wife, Mrs. Alvereta Horner.
