The History of Hendricks County (Chicago: Interstate Publishing, 1885)--Liberty Township, page 641
Horace Hunt, druggist, Clayton, Ind., is the second son of Alford and Jane Hunt. He spent his youth on his father's farm north of the village of Clayton, receiving his early education in the district schools and later attending the Central Normal College, Danville. After leaving school he was employed by Hunt and Rowe, dealers in buggies and farm implements, in Delphi, the county seat of Carroll County, Ind., a year, and in 1884 bought the stock and fixtures of T.J. Allen, druggist, Clayton. He carries a full line of drugs, medicines, paints, oils, glass, varnish and toilet articles. He is a young man of good business ability, and his steady habits and uprightness have gained him many friends. He owns a fine farm of 102 acres two miles north of Clayton, in Center Township, on which are good buildings and a pleasant two-story residence.
