  WILLIAM HORTOP. A good man, one whose life was filled with gentleness and kindness, passed out of this mortal existence leaving devoted children and many friends to mourn his loss. He died Sunday morning. Mr. Hortop came here from Chicago about a year ago, and engaged in the real estate business with the late Thomas Jensen. A few months ago he married Mrs. Bickford. This morning his remains were sent to Chicago for burial. El Reno Supper Bell. (El Reno, Okla.), Monday, October 7, 1901 ___________________ EDEN MILLS. Mr. Henry Hortop, of Eden Mills, and Mr. James Hortop, of Toronto, returned Saturday evening from Chicago, where they assisted at the funeral obsequies of their brother, the late William Hortop, on Wednesday last. Mr. Hortop died at El Reno, Oklahoma Territory on October 6th. William Hortop was a son of the late Henry Hortop, of Eden Mills. His father was one of the pioneer millers of these parts, and William was engaged in the same business for some years.
