Marcus N. Horton

1911

Glen Ridge, N.J.:  Prof. Marcus N. Horton, one of the oldest graduates of Williams College, died at his home here Wednesday night at the age of 81.  He was born in Oxford, Chenango County.  After graduation from Williams College in 1853 he became an instructor in and later principal of Walton Academy.  In 1861 he again became associated with Dr. Kerr, first as professor of botany and physics in the New York State Agricultural College at Ovid, and then as associate principal in the Jefferson County (N.Y.) Institute.  In the Agricultural College he remained only one year, due to the fact that a majority of the pupils enlisted for the Civil War.  In 1864 Mr. Horton became principal of the Oneida, N.Y. Seminary, where he applied himself to the study of law, and in 1869 was admitted to the bar.  He also served as principal of the High School at Williamsport, Pa., and later became superintendent of the schools in that city.  In 1886 he was superintendent of schools at Towanda Pa., and from 1888 to 1890 was school commissioner of Chenango County. For the last 14 years he had lived in Glen Ridge.  He leaves a wife and two sons, one of the latter, John M. Horton, being connected with the Chemical  National Bank in New York.  Mr. Horton is remembered by many of the older residents of this village.  He was a brother of Clark Horton of Afton.  He began his work as a teacher in the old Oxford Academy immediately after he left college.
