John Edward Horn was born in Granby, Newton County, Missouri, December 26, 1858. When 19 years old he professed faith in Christ and united with the First Baptist Church of Joplin, Mo. Feeling that he ought to preach the gospel, he gave up his profession (dentistry) and after a college course at William Jewell College, he was on year at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary of Louisville, Kentucky.
He then moved with his family to Haines, Oregon, accepted the pastorate of that Baptist Church, and was ordained in 1891.
When the North Pacific Coast Baptist Convention was organized, he was elected President and served as such for three years.
After three and a half years as pastor at Haines, his health failed and he resigned for a year's rest. In 1896 he accepted the pastorate of the First Baptist Church of Dayton, Washington, serving nearly four years, when owing to failing health, he resigned. After one and a half years' rest he accepted the pastorate of the Second Baptist Church of Baker, Oregon, a newly organized church. After six months his health completely failed and he gave up the church to travel in hope of regaining health. He traveld extensively throughout the United States and in company with his wife and daughter traveled in Europe, Egypt and Palestine. His health is much improved but he is not strong enough to take up regular pastoral work. He now resides in Portland, Oregon, as a retired minister. (April 5, 1913)
