HORN MEMORIAL CHURCH

Kathie Kline has submitted these photos and facts about the Horn Church which is located near Pleasantville, in West St. Clair Twp. The church was organized in about 1820. It was named for the Horn Family who moved to the Bedford Co., Pa. area (1797-1800) from Loudoun Co., Virginia.
