Obituary:

18/04/1803
The Gentleman's Magazine.
In South Audley Street, Mr John Cooper Horton formerly of Watling hill Sussex, 17 years a faithful and active affiliate in the service of Edward Boodle esq an eminent solicitor of 10 Lower Brook street. This gentleman's life and death are proof how much integrity good nature and good manners endear us to society, for he lived respected and consequently died regretted by all who knew him During his illness which was of several months continuance. His friends vied with each other in their endeavours to alleviate his sufferings by their attentions towards him but particularly the gentleman in whose service he had for long been. He was also attended during the whole time and to his last moment by an only daughter with a fortitude and perseverance which must have been prompted by the highest state of filial affection and continued by a truly religious sense of duty.
