parents were John Horsley and Rose Shelton.

Dr Horsley was a surgeon. He died suddenly at home of cerebral edema.

Southern Medicine, May 1946
Dr. Horsley had made a name for himself in practice in New York and in Texas before he settled on Richmond, in his native State, for the long span of his life's work. His achievements, notably in blood-vessel and tumor surgery, brought him world-wide recognition and acclaim. In his latter
years there came the tragedy of the death in an automobile accident of one of his surgeon sons, his namesake. This blow of fate he bore wth the courage and fortitude that had characterized his life; yet who would dare say the father's life was not shortened thereby? The other surgeon son. Dr. Guy Winston Horsley, is left to continue his father's, his brother's, and his own high achievement.
