STEPHEN R. HORNER, Webster County, was born in Orange County, N.C.,
February 13, 1838, and is a son of Jacob and Elizabeth (Murdock) Horner.
He is the sixth in a family of nine children, and is of German-Irish
origin.  In 1857 he began serving a three-years' apprenticeship to the
harness-making trade, and afterward continued that business and farming in
his native State until 1867.  He then came to Webster County, Ky., and for
thirteen years has been a resident of Sebree.  On coming to this place he
opened a boot and shoe store, and also carried on harness-making.  In 1875
he engaged in general merchandising, which he has since continued.  When
Mr. Horner began business at Carlow, Webster Co., Ky., in 1867, he had only
$70 to invest, and now he is estimated to be worth about $10,000; he worked
at the saddle and harness business there four years, and then came to
Sebree, Webster Co., Ky., about 1871.  He is one of the oldest merchants in
Sebree, and is doing a fine business.  He was appointed postmaster at
Sebree in 1877, and still retains that position.  He was married, in 1866,
to Miss Martha J. Bolin, of North Carolina.  He is a Mason and a Democrat.
Mr. and Mrs. Horner are members of the General Baptist Church.
