MRS. HORNER DIES
Mrs. Nancy Horner, an aged and honored lady, perhaps the oldest white person in the county, died at the home of her son W. N. Horner, on Cedar creek, Sunday morning Sept. 6, 1914. Death came peacefully, and perhaps not unwished to this gentle old lady, who had long since passed the three score years and ten, her age being 94 years and 12 days. However, during her remarkably long life she had enjoyed the blessings of good health, and as a result, retained all her faculties in an unusual degree. She had lived a useful, unselfish, Christian life, and leaves behind her an affectionate and tender remembrance of friends and relatives.
 

Mrs Horner was the daughter of Amos Randle, one of the pioneer settlers of Perry county. Born in Indiana, she came to the county in infancy; lived a short time on Sinking creek, then moved to Cedar creek where she spent the remainder of her life, the last 31 years of which was in the home of her son W. N. Horner. She was the widow of William Horner, deceased, and was the mother of a large family, only four of whom survive her. W. N. Horner, Mrs. R. E. Wiley, Polk, Tenn., Mrs. S. C. Holcomb and Mrs. T. J. Holcomb, of Murray, Ky. In addition to these there are a large number of grandchildren, great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. Mrs. Horner joined the primitive Baptist church in early life and lived a constant member of that church.
 

The remains were intered at the family burying ground on Cedar creek, Sept. 7^th, 1914.
