(8) Charles William, b. 25 Jan 1837, at Avon, OH, d. of diabetes at Wellington 2 Oct 1894 and buried at Greenwood cemetery.[63] He married Esther Abigail Lang of Huntington (her father was b. in NH and her mother in NH)[64] at that town on 12 Aug 1860. She was b. c.1832 in OH. He was reared on the family farm and attended the local schools during the brief winter months until he was about sixteen. He ventured to Cleveland with only a few dollars in his pocket and knowing no one in the city. He spotted a sign of a leading hack and omnibus line office, and understanding something about horses, he immediately applied for and found employment as an omnibus driver. He saved his money, and at the end of five months he found himself in a financial position sufficient to enable him to take a term at Oberlin College, which he did. He then taught school at Pittsfield Center, Lorain County. At the age of eighteen, with barely enough money to pay expenses, he took the stage coach from Louisville to Nashville, TN, near which city he secured a position as teacher in Zion Seminary. In 1857 Charles entered Antioch College. In 1858 he became principal of the public schools of Napoleon, OH. Early in his life Charles also read law and was admitted to the bar. In 1860 Charles graduated from Antioch College. That fall, with his wife Esther as his assistant, he became principal of the public schools of Vandalia, IL.
Charles was a Douglas Democrat prior to the Civil War, but thereafter he was a staunch Republican. At Vandalia he became a leading local agitator in the cause of the Union, delivering many speeches, finally organized Company Co. B., Thirty-fifth Regiment IL Infantry of which he was made captain. He was sworn in at Jefferson Barrack, MO, 6 Aug 1861. With his command he did duty in Rolla, MO, and served under Fremont, Halleck, Curtis, and other leaders of the Union movement in MO. During the larger part of his service, he was employed as forage master or as brigade commissary of subsistence, and during the latter part of his service he was attached to Gen. Buell's army. However, it was not long before he became ill with chronic lastretris with severe diarhrea as well as suffering from a pre-war injury of two crushed toes. While he was granted permission to ride a horse while on marches, he was forced at a camp near Louisville, KY, to resign his commission which became effective 20 Oct 1862.[65]
After he left the army, he returned to Lorain County, and in company with his brother J. C. Horr, initiated the development of the cheese industry, building in Huntington township the first cheese factory in Lorain county. In 1870 Charles and Esther lived in Wellington with their sons Norton and Charles. Also with them was William Mitchell age 46 ("doubtful", said the census taker) who was a farm laborer and his wife Martha Mitchell, age 46 and a house keeper, both b. in England. The census stated that Charles was a cheese dealer with real estate valued at $10,000 and a personal estate valued at $5,000. Later, in 1880 Charles was still a cheese dealer and lived on South Main Street, Wellington, with Esther, Norton, Charles, Alfred, and Hurley. Living with the family was a hired man, William Beeman, and a servant, Cora Morgan, whose parents were from Wales.[66]
The firm of J.C. Horr and Co. was succeeded by Starr & Horr, and at the end of a year, that firm was succeeded by the cheese and butter firm of Horr, Warner & Co. Charles was always recognized as the company's head, and its great success was largely due to Charles' ability as a business man and to his sagacity as a financier. There were at one time some sixty cheese factories managed from Wellington. However, Horr & Warner shipped a record seven million pounds of cheese in 1878 to American and foreign markets. The building which housed the headquarters of the Horr & Warner company still stands and is listed in the national register of historic places as a part of Wellington's central historic district.[67]
Charles was also a member of the firm of Wean, Horr, Warner & Co., the most extensive onion and celery growers in OH, and probably the greatest onion growers in the world. At that time, in addition, he was also president of the Wellington Milling Company and was for years a stockholder and director in the First National Bank of Wellington and also of the Savings Banking Company of Elyria. He owned an extensive tract of land in Lorain and Medina counties and was to a large extent engaged in the breeding of fine Holstein-Friesian cattle. In 1892 he was president of the National Holstein-Friesian Association and in the early 1890s elected president of the National Dairy Union.[68] Charles and Esther had four children:
