Antique CDV c.1870 Portrait of Woman by William Henry Harrison Horine in Carlinville IllinoisAbout the PhotographerWilliam Henry Harrison Horine, who for thirty-nine years has been engaged in the jewelry business in Carlinville, was born in Williamsport, Maryland, on the 20th of April, 1840, and is a son of Henry A. and Anna (Kriebs) Horine, also natives of Maryland.

The education of William Henry Harrison Horine was pursued in the public schools of his native state until it was considered he had sufficient knowledge to enable him to begin his real life work. After terminating his studies he worked for his father, but later turned his attention to the machinist’s trade. In August, 1862, he responded to the call for troops and went to the front with Company A, Seventh Maryland Regiment. He enlisted as a private but was later promoted to Corporal and was discharged with the rank of second lieutenant. His period of service lasted from his enlistment August 8, 1862, to the time of Lee’s surrender at Appomattox Court House, at which event he was present. After returning home from the war Mr. Horine learned the art of a photographer, in which business he engaged in Chicago for about three years. In 1869 he came to Carlinville, continuing to work at photography until 1872, when he bought out C. L. Andrist, the jeweler, and has ever since been identified with this business.

Mr. Horine was united in marriage in 1874 to Mrs. Annie (Bell) Sprague, a native of Alabama, and they have become the parents of two children: William Henry, Jr., and Anna Mary, now Mrs. John F. Zimmerman.

Mr. Horine maintains relations with his old comrades of the field through his connection with Dan Messick Post, No. 339, G. A. R., of which he is commander. His ballot is always cast in support of the men and measures of the republican party. He has never taken a very prominent part in municipal politics but served as mayor of the town for one term, and was also a member of the school board for several years. During the long period of his residence in Carlinville, Mr. Horine has won and held the regard of many and is one of the highly esteemed business men of the town.
