After his marriage Mr. Horine removed to Cambridge City, Ind., and two years later to Jackson County, Ill., where he remained until 1867, engaged in fruit growing. He then came to Gadsen, and was the first to introduce the growing of small fruit, which was then considered a very profitless undertaking, but is the most profitable enterprise in West Tennessee, he is one of the most extensive fruit growers of the county, and owns 210 acres of land near Gadsden, also a fruit farm in Illinois. His land is well cultivated, and he has a commodious and pleasant home. He has been a life-long Democrat, and cast his vote for James Buchanan. He is a member of the I.O.O.F., and he and wife belong to the Lutheran Church.
