at a camp meeting held near the town
He attended Sunday services and week
day prayer meetsings. Finally he was Sc

Sunday school, which position he retained
until 1SS5 when he left this section.

did not disd9in TO irt with the rosy

However. in the spring of 1855, Horsey
found himself involved in financial diff
culties with the probability of embar-
raSsment on account of mis- intimacy with
one Of the women of his congregation
No one knew it until his cheese factory
burned. When he attempted to collect
the insurance the scandal arose. HOrsley
fed the town and country. He sOok with
him $3.50 in cash which he had realized
from the hurried sale, and another
