End Of Distinguished Career
Prominent in Social, Bust
ness and Political
Circles.

The death of Mr.. Outerbridge
Horsey which occurred at his
home, "Needwood" near Peters.
vile, this county, last Sunday
morning, was a great shock to his
family and wide circle of friends
in this and other States. He was
taken ill on Saturday and died at
1870 the following morning.
Heart failure was the cause. He
was one of the most prominent
citizens of the State and was
widely known and esteemed.
Outerbridge Horsey was born in
Frederick county in February,
1919. His father was Outerbridge
Horsey, who at one time was
United States Senator from Della
ware. His mother was Miss Lee,
the daughter of Gov. Thomas Sim
Lee, of Maryland. He was edu-
Gated at Mount st. Mary's College,
Emmitsburg, Frederick county,
and was one of the oldest gra1u,
ates of that institution. He
studied law with John Glenn in
Baltimore and practiced for awhile
in that city with Bobert j. Brent.
He married Miss Carroll, who
was descendant of Charles Car
: roll, of Carrollton, the signer of
the Declaration Of Independence,
and a cousin of x-Gov. John Lee
Carroll, of Howard county.
He gave up the practice of law
and moved to Frederick County,
taking up his residence at Need
wood, one of the most beautiful
places in the county, and began
the manufacture of whiskey,
which he has successfully done
ever since. One of his brands
Golden Gate" is known the
country over. He shipped num-
Der of barrels around Cape Horn
to the Pacific Coast and return,
which greatly improved the wits
key. Recently company com.
posed of his sons was organized
TO carry on the business. He was
also interested in other enter
prises and was a large land owner.
Mr.. HorSey was candidate for
the State Senate in Frederick
County about 1875. on the Demo.
cratic ticket, but was defeated
by DR.. Lewis I'll. Steiner. He
was State Director of the Balti.
more and Ohio for a number of
years. He was member of the
Maryland Constitutional COnven-
tiOn of 1867. He served as a
member of the National Demo-
cratic Committee some years ago
and was succeeded by Senator A.
p. German. He was several times
mentioned in connection with the
gubernatorial nomination.
With his family he resided
during the winter in Washington
where he had handsome resi-
dence, and where he entertained
frequently. Years ago his coun-
try home was the scene of many
festive gathering and none
could carry out the role of host
so gracefully as Mr.. Horsey.
Whilst in manner somewhat
dignified and reserved, except to
those intimate with him, his
heart was big and his instincts
lofty. He was a man with strong
ideas on every subject, and al
ways had the courage to act as
his convictions dictated. This
tall, stately figure will be much
missed from his accustomed
haunts and in many hearts genu-
inc sorrow prevails at the death
of this typical old time gentleman.
Four daughters and three sons
survive him. One of his daugh-
ters Miss Caroline, entered
convent several years ago. His
wife died about eighteen years
ago.
The funeral took place on
Tuesday at noon. Solemn High
Mass was sung at st. Mary's
Catholic church in Petersville by
Rev. J. II. O'Connell, the pastor;
assisting him were Rev. Louis
O'Donovan, of the Baltimore
Cathedral; Rev. j. H. O'Rourke,
rector of the Jesuit Novitiate,
Frederick; Rev. DR.. William L.
O'Hara, president of Mount st.
Mary's College, Emmitsburg;
Rev. John b. Gaffney, former
