Arminda Harkness Van Horn Home in North Loup

If I could only see the photographs on the wall!


















Arminda Harkness Van Horn at house in North Loup, Nebraska after her husband Obediah Davis Van Horn died in 1895 from injuries received when riding a horse at Van Horn ranch in Davis Creek. Her son Edwin Burtell Van Horn & his wife Lottie Belle Davis Van Horn lived with their family in this home after Arminda passed away in 1905 -- until their tragic deaths in 1907 and 1909.

Dec 6, 1895, page 2, col 1: from 'Over the State' O. D. Van Horn, a prominent farmer and ranchman resident of North Loup, who received severe internal injuries by getting his vest caught on the pommel of the saddle when thrown from a bucking bronco at his ranch, died from his injuries.
