"Cyrus Horton was a New York merchant for some years, but by reason of ill-health, he abandoned active business and purchased the homestead of his father in Philipstown, and there he spent the closing years of his life in comparative retirement, possessing a moderate competence, acquired in merchandising. He died in the same house in which his father had lived and died, thus two generations died on the homestead. He was distinguished for his gentlemanly deportment, Christian life, and public spirit. The old homestead was a church and a religious centre for more than sixty years. He knew well the advantages of education, and he inculcated it in his children."—Letter of E. J. Horton.
