Family History

Yarn manufacturer, William Horner, purchased the house in 1901. Owner of a wool mill, Mr. Horner was known the electric dynamo which powered his mill and also town lights. He lived in the home for five decades until his death, along with his wife, Irene, and children, Merl, Iris and William.

The stained glass window is possibly a Belcher, a rare mosaic glass window where molten metal was poured around the individual pieces of glass. Mr. Horner was wealthy enough that he could outfit his home with this glorious piece of art.
