"TIMOTHY WHEAT HORTON 22 JAN 1897
Again it becomes a painful duty to record the death of a well known and much respected citizen, who passed to his heavenly home, after a long and useful life. Timothy W. Horton, died at his residence near Rockville, in the town of Wallkill, Monday, Jan. 18, 1897, at 1:15 p.m., after a short illness. He was the son of Barnabas and Jerusha Wheat Horton, and was born on the old Horton homestead, now owned by George E. Beakes, Jan. 25, 1819. In early life he taught school but he has really lived the life of a farmer. He married Sarah A., daughter of Perter Beyea, Jan. 31, 1846, and she with six children survie [s.i.c.] him. Chauncey E., William A., Mary A., wife of William Wheat, and Seymour, all of New York City; James M. and Ella, wife of Frank Beyea, at home. He is also survived by two brothers, Alfred, of Middletown, and James M., of New York, and one sister, Millicent J., widow of Chauncey Horton, of New York.
In 1848 he bought what is well known as the Vinson Clark farm, and since then it has been his home, and there he has devoted his life to farming and been very successful in the milk business, which for more than 20 years, the production he has supplied the people of Middletown. Mr. Horton was a Democrat, but never aspired to an office, although many times was strongly urged to accept the important ones of his town, which he always refuse, until Middletown became a city and was no longer a part of Wallkill. Then by urgent appeal of his friends he consented and was elected Supervisor of this town for two terms and filled the position with great satisfaction. He was a great reader, and well informed on all subjects, very far-seeing and possessed a wonderful memory. He was a man of strict integrity, deep judgement and his decisions were made with great consideration and wisdom. He was a kind husband, and indulgent and exemplary father, an excellent neighbor and a good friend to the poor, and many a one will miss his hand of charity.
Among his relatives he was much esteemed for his genial manner, and all who came to his home, must remember that pleasant smile, that cordial handshaking by which he greeted his friends and made them welcome to his hospitable home. In Jan. 1896, he and his ife celebrated the golden anniversary of their marriage, the last time he has had the pleasure of having his friends and neighbors meet at his home. It is somewhat singular he was born married nd died in January. His life was such that he leaves a record to be reverenced, and his example to be handed down to his sons, for them to follow, and be proud of. The last few years of his life he has had infirmities which kept him at home, but he always saw something in life to cheer and make life pleasant.
He will be greatly missed in his own home and among his relatives, and neighbors, but we trust he has gone from these mortal shores to a land of peace and love, and will meet those who have gone before.
Interment in the family plot at Hillside Cemetery."
