OBITUARY ---------------

Death of Mrs. Horton.

Times-Gazette Saturday, June 15, 1895

At her residence at Belmont Mrs. Kezia, wife of Henry Horton, passed to her final place of rest last Wednesday. She was a native of England and aged about 65 years. The deceased was highly respected and well known in this city, to which place she, with her husband, moved nearly twenty five years ago and continued their residence here until Mr. Horton sold out his place on Main street to Mr. Barton in 1888 or 1889. Two weeks ago Mrs. Horton was taken down with congestive chills but it seems she rallied from this. Wednesday morning she complained of feeling unwell and died that afternoon. The doctors who attended her say heart trouble was the cause of death. Mr. Horton, who conducts a plumbing business at Belmont, had just commenced the erection of a neat cottage for himself and wife. The funeral took place from her late residence at Belmont yesterday at 2 o'clock. Interment in Union Cemetery, Redwood City.
