DIES NEAR SITE OF LOVED HOME
Woman Had Lived in Same House 72 Years—Moved Recently.
Dec. 21. (AP)-After living in the same house for 72 years, removing from it only six months ago when it was torn down to make way for a service station, Mrs. Emma Horton, 95, died here today. Her husband had built the home for her as a young bride in 1856 and her children say she had long cherised the hope of dying in it. 
The house in which she died was right next door to the old home. 
Born in Belmost county, Ohio, February 4, 1834, when Abraham Lincoln was a young man of 25, Mrs. Horton, then Emma Hartsock, went with her parents in her early childhood to Iowa. A wagon train left that state in 1852 for Oregon and the Hartsocks were among the immigrants. Many were killed during the journey to the Coast, set upon by bands of marauding Indians. The train was six months in the journey from Iowa to The Dalles, Ore. 
A girl of 19 in 1853, she married William H. Horton in Portland, Ore. Two years later the came to Olympia and built their home. 
Her husband built the Olympia water system in the sixties. He died 41 years ago. 
Three daughters and a son, 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren survive.
