Patriarch Horne was bom at Nauvoo, Ill, May 4, 1842 a son of Joseph and Mary Isabella Hales Horne. He was the fifth child in a family of 15. He lived at Nauvoo where he was acquainted with Joseph Smith, prophet-founder of the L.D.S. church until 1847, when with his father who was captain of a wagon train, he came to Salt Lake valley. In later years years he frequently recalled incidents of his acquaintance with the prophet. The religious influence which directed his entire life started then and his faith never wavered. He was a member of the Sunday school established by Richard Ballantyne on December 9, 1849 at his log cabin residence in the Fourteenth ward in Salt Lake. He told of his experience last October at the annual conference of the Deseret Sunday School Union in Salt Lake. In the spring of 1865 he was sent as a missionary to Europe, serving in the Swiss German mission. After his return president Brigham Young called him to preside as bishop over the Gunnison ward but again in 1876 he was called to serve as mission president in Switzerland, a position which he held until he was succeeded by Dr. Karl G. Maeser. In 1878 he was called to serve as bishop of the Richfield Second ward, a position which he held for more than 16 years. He was released to become the second counselor to president W. H.

He served as a member of the territorial legislature in 1880; as mayor of Richfield, superintendent of schools and as a city councilman and county commissioner at various times. He resided in Salt Lake for some years before coming to Richfield. As a contractor he supervised the building of the Sevier county court house. He also was believed to have been the first undertaker in Sevier county and for 35 years worked as carpenter and wheelwright.
