Jesse
Leroy Van Horn
(1872- ? )
Jesse Leroy Van Horn was born on Aug. 22, 1872 near Grand Rapids, Wood County, OH, the son of Eli and Mary Ann (Kimberlin) Van Horn.
When the federal census was taken in 1900, Jesse was unmarired and made his home with his parents in Jackson Twp., Wood County. He was age 26 at the time, and employed as a farm laborer.
In
1941, at the death of his brother Austin,
Jesse was residing in nearby Toledo, Lucas County, OH. He would have been age 69
at the time.
A rare old photographic postcard of Toledo is seen at right, dated 1915, and depicting "market day" on Monroe and Huron Streets.
Nothing further is known of his life. As additional research uncovers more tidbits, they will be added to this biography.
