LOUIS HORNE

Mr.. Louis Horne died this morning
at 4:45 o'clock at his residence on Ok
lawaha avenue. Mr.. Horne had been
i'll for the past two weeks but his con-
dition was not considered serious till
within the past few days. He was suf-
fering from a complication of trou-
bles. but the immediate cause of his
death was liver and kidney trouble
Mr.. Horne returned from North Car
DINA about a month ago. where he
had been for several months, visiting
at different places, among them hts
old home at Jacksonville. His family
followed him home to Ocala a week
later. Mr.. Horne was feeling excep-
tiOnally we'll when he returned but
the improvement did not last and he
was not out many days before TAX
ing to his bed. He had been in fail
ing health for several years but at
times would be feeling so we'll that he
would think the improvement perma-
nent and that he would regain his old
time perfect health once more.
Mr.. Horne was. up to about five or
six years ago. when he began to close
out his naval stores interests. among
the most extensive in Florida. He own
in whole or part many locations
and was always successful in their
operation. One by one he disposed Of
his locations and interests. getting out
in most cases before the great drop
came in the naval stores market. He
invested in securities that would not
give him any trouble or responsible
ity and prepared to take life easy.

the writer has ever known. He was
the same genial. pleasing and sociable
