This is from the Harvey B Ledman's Diary and Scrapbook. He was the nephew of this Harvey Hornaday (his mother's brother). Harvey Hornaday was the son of John Hornaday and Isabel(Isabella) Vandever. I don't have a date for the article, but it was in the Carroll county Indiana paper.
Harvey Hornaday Dies At Home Hospital,Lafayette
The following, taken from the Lafayette Courier-Journal,will be of interest to Carroll county readers of the Democrat, especially those in the Flora vicinity.
"Harvey J Hornaday, for many years a well known resident of Lafayette, died suddenly at the Home hospital at Lafayette at 2:45 o'clock Monday, January 7th, of peritonitis. He was born near Flora, Carroll county, March 5 1848,and came to Lafayette for residence in 1896. When 16 years of age he enlisted in the Union army and served for eight months as a corporal in Company E, 154th Indiana Volunteers. Returning from the war he worked for a short time on his father's farm and then took a position with the Hall Safe and Lock Company as a salesman. In 1896 he came to Lafayette and engaged in the real estate and insurance business, being active until a short time ago. He was a staunch Repulican in politics and at one time served as a member of the city council from the sixth ward. He attended Trinity ME church and was a member of Lafayette Lodge No. 15, Odd Fellows.
Mr. Hornanday was twice married. His first wife was Miss Rachel Timmons, to whom he was married August 16th 1870. She died August 25, 1919 and in September 1923, he was married to Mrs. WH Murphy, of Darlington. He is also survived by a sister, Mrs. HA Wallis, of Lafayette, and two foster children, Mrs. Willis Shelly, of Stroh, Indiana, and Charles Hornaday, of Auburn. Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday afternoon, January 9th at 2:30. Interment was at the Springvale cemetery."
