He grew to manhood on the home farm, and in 1846 took part in the Mexican War, being wounded in the hip at the battle of Buena Vista. Returning home in 1848, he settled down to farming in Littleton Twp, and in course of time became the owner of 1, 300 acres of land in various parts of Schuyler Co. Five hundred acres of this property were in Littleton Twp, mostly covered with timber, some of it being swamp land along the river. He served as County Surveyor previous to 1861, holding that office twelve years. On Aug 5, 1861, he enlisted for the Civil War, becoming a member of the 10th Regiment, Missouri Vol. Infantry, at St. Louis, and rising to the rank of Lt. Colonel. He was killed in battle at Champion Hills, Mississippi, near Vicksburg, in May 1863, and was buried there, his body being removed after the war and laid in Thompson Cemetery, Littleton Twp. His widow made her home in the same township until the time of her death, Feb 20, 1907, at the age of 83 years. They reared a family of three sons and four daughters.
*************************************
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: Colonel Leonidas Horney was born in Guilford County, North Carolina, September 4, 1817. His parents moved, when he was only a year old, to St. Clair County, Illinois. He is a son of the Honorable Samuel Horney, whose history appears in this work. In the spring of 1825 his parents removed with him to Schuyler County, Illinois. Leonidas received most of his early education in the common schools of this county. After leaving school he engaged in teaching for a few years. On the 2d of September, 1841, at the age of twenty-four, he was married to Miss Jane, the daughter of William H. Crawford, Esquire, of Schuyler County. Soon after his marriage he purchased a farm and engaged in agricultural pursuits and stock raising. On the breaking out of the war with Mexico, Mr. Horney enlisted as a private in Company (?), commanded by Captain W. A. Richardson; regiment commanded by Colonel John J. Hardin. They were very soon ordered to the seat of war, after their organization. He served in that division of the army commanded by General Taylor, and while bravely fighting, he was wounded at the battle of Buena Vista. It being a flesh wound, did not disable him. At the close of the war he was mustered out and returned home, where he again engaged in farming. Soon after his return he was elected to the offices of county surveyor of Schuyler County, and retained that position until the breaking out of the war of the rebellion, when, with the same patriotic devotion to the cause of the Union as evinced in the war with Mexico, he laid aside the pursuits of peace and the endearments of a happy family, and again drew forth his sword in defense of the flag of his country. In August of 1861, he volunteered, and was elected captain of Company A, 10th regiment, Missouri Infantry, and soon after he was promoted to the rank of major, and soon after to the rank of colonel. He participated in many hard fought battles, and at the battle of Corinth, October 4, 1862, received a flesh wound, which did not disable him from active service. At the siege of Vicksburg, near Champion Hill, while bravely leading his gallant regiment into the fight, he was shot and killed, and fell into the arms of his men. He was buried on the field, within a few paces of where he fell. After the war he was brought home, and buried on the 15th of February, 1865, in what is known as the Thompson graveyard, near Littleton, being buried with the honors of war. The colonel left a wife and family of seven children, who are residing on their farm, near Littleton. The three oldest children are married; the remainder living at home and single. The colonel was a man highly respected for his many virtues, and in losing him, not only his family, but the people of the county, lost a noble and valuable citizen.You will receive the item shown in the pics.
