Larry V. Horn

Larry V. Horn of Fayetteville was born in Black Rock, Ark., to C.L. and Donna Horn in 1935. He died at home Sept. 18, 2015, after a brief illness. Larry was graduated from Black Rock High School, Harding University, and the University of Arkansas, culminating in a Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, in 1977. Known by his students as an inspiring and favorite teacher, he taught at colleges and Universities in Florida, Illinois, and Arkansas. During his retirement, he focused on his intense interest in the history of his family, researching the genealogy for several years. He was able to present it to members of his family in book form. Larry was known for his wide variety of friends, and his love of animals. He was a very early volunteer as an investigator for animal abuse before such a program even existed. He also served as board member for the Humane Society of the Ozarks. And, of course, he was never without a good number of cats and dogs at home, most of them rescues. At Larry's request, there will be no service, and his ashes will be taken to the family plot in the Powhatan Cemetery in Lawrence County. Memorials may be made to the Lester Howick Animal Shelter of Washington County.
