Glen HORTON, resident of the Eagle Community for around 80 years, died at his home on East Brush Creek February 14, 1970. He would have been 83 years old on February 20.
Mr. HORTON was born in Steele City, Neb. in 1882 [SSDI: Feb. 20, 1886] and came to this area with his parents, and his grandparents, the FULFORD family at about the age of two years.
The town of Fulford, south east of Eagle was named after the grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward J. FULFORD.
Upon the death of his father, his mother married Dick MORGAN, owner of several of the gold producing mines of the New York Mountain area.
Mr. HORTON never married, and although he lived a quiet life, he had many good friends who admired this quiet, kind man.
He worked as a ranch hand along the Brush Creek and spent a great deal of time fishing and hunting.
He is survived by three nieces: Mrs. Lillian BUTZ who came from Indiana for the funeral; and Mrs. Adelaid DELL and Mrs. Lela HOFSTETTLER both of Twin Falls, Ida.
Other relatives attending the services were Mrs. Una NOBEL of Las Vegas, Nev., Mrs. Arthur AMLING of Chicago, Ill.; Mr. and Mrs. Howard BOIES of New Castle and Mrs. Claude PETERSON of Rifle.
Funeral services were conducted Thursday morning at the Eagle Methodist Church and burial was in Sunset View Cemetery.
