Gary Horn
Gary Horn, manufacturer of drain tile, Plain City, was born in Harrison County, Ohio, January 6, 1824. He is a son of Moses and Sarah (Longfellow) Horn, natives of New Jersey, of German and English descent. His education was limited to the common schools; he remained on the farm where he was raised until twenty years of age, when he began working in the rolling-mills of Virginia, where he remained six years. He then emigrated to this county and engaged in farming, which occupied his attention until 1872, when he began the manufacture of drain tile, in connection with his son, who is still his associate. Mr. Horn was married, in 1848, to Sarah Spring, a native of Virginia and a daughter of Adam Spring. They have four children, viz., Carlton A., his partner in business; Armeda and Mahlon W. and Charles W., twins. Mr. and Mrs. Horn are members of the Plain City Baptist Church, in which he is a Deacon. He is a Republican in politics.
