Horton French (1898?-1983?)
Greetings to all the members of the French family!
I am seeking information on Horton French, who was, at one time, the secretary of Robert Nelson Horatio Spencer (1877-1961), at least during the time Spencer was the Rector of Grace and Holy Trinity Church in Kansas City, Missouri.(He may have continued as Spencer's secretary when he became the Bishop of our Diocese in 1930.Spencer retired as Bishop in 1949.)
References to Mr. French, unfortunately, are few and far between.He was married, and I know that they were in Kansas City in 1926-1929, at least.
The life dates listed above are for the only Horton French who appears in the Social Security Death Index, and those dates work, because he would have been old enough to have been a secretary in 1926.I do not know if they are the correct dates for the Horton French for whom I am searching.
The Horton French with those life dates died in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
This is for a history of what is now Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral, the Cathedral Church of the Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri.
Please, if you have information about Mr. French, feel free to contact me directly at [email protected]
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,
Randal J. Loy
Historian to the Dean of
Grace and Holy Trinity Cathedral
