"Philip Muchenor" was a Butler Co. Pioneer.

Civil War Pension Record: He enrolled as a private on 2 May 1864 (he enlisted in G Company of the 34th regiment Ohio National Guard 24 Jul 1863) and was described as 5' 11 3/4", fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair; he was a farmer. He moved to Dublin from Richmond in 1895. He later stated that he'd lived in West Elkton Ohio "from my discharge until 1866-Richmond, Indiana 1866-1898, Dublin, Ind. 1898-1913-Richmond, Ind. 1913 to present time[1915]." He guarded prisoners at Cincinnati and traveled to Cumberland, Md.

They stood guard duty in Cincinnati, the 18th July moved to Paris, Ky., 31st July to Cumberland, Md., and 1st August were involved at Folch's Mills where they sustained a slight loss. 1st August they went back to Ohio.

Preble Co. Deeds: Horner, Philip M. from Silas Duskey March 31, 1871 West Elkton pt of lots 6 & 1.

The 1875 Preble Co. Directory listed him under "Lightning Rods" in West Elkton. The 1885-6 Richmond City Directory Reads: "Philip L. Horner (Ellen S.), tinner, Williamsburg Pike, near first toll gate." The Richmond City Directory 1888-9 listed: "Philip M. Horner (Mrs. Ella), tinner, wks Joseph Potts, res over 435 Main." The 1896-7 directory read: "Philip M. Horner (Ella S.) tinner 424 Main, h. 119 W. Main.

His pension record located Philip in Dublin in 1905, when he received an increase to $6 a month. He was a member of Co. E, 156th Reg. Ohio Vol. Infantry, originally a National Guard company. The increase was partially applied for because of his "injury to right leg caused by jumping out of his wagon near Dublin, Indiana, June 10th, 1901, when his horse had fallen in the road, which broke the bones in the ankle."

George C. Hayward: "Philip was in the roofing business with his son Edward along with his son-in-law George in Richmond. He lived with us for a while and he was a tall man. We had a lamp hanging over the dining room table and he would hit his head on it."

George C. Hayward, Interview (1994): "Philip Edward Horner was a big fellow and I remember his height involved a ceiling fixture in our kitchen. He was in the Civil War in the United States Army and was very active in it and they did a lot of marching to the extent that he had foot...feet trouble and he couldn't sit very long. He had to walk a lot. And I remember him walking in the kitchen. Of course he, after his wife died, my grandmother, he came to live with us in Richmond. He would pace through the house and through the kitchen and every time he went through the kitchen, he would bump his head on this fixture that was hanging from the ceiling. He was a successful businessman, too, he finally, after he got out of the army, I think he was only about 18 years old when he was in the army when he joined, and he was tall. He was 6 foot 2 and he would enjoy telling things about his army experience and I got a big kick out of it too because I was about 6 years old and I was very much impressed with it. He went into the roofing business and my dad joined him in it as a junior partner and roofing and metal work...different kinds of flashing for roofs and so on..."

Philip died of "chronic intestinal nephritis" at 432 SW 3rd Street. (CoRec)
