Little Berry Horne of Columbus County, North Carolina, probably died before the 1870 census was taken. The census did not list marital status. His wife Kitsey Ann Nobles was head of household. On the 1880 census Kitsey was listed as widowed. I have not found Kitsey on the 1900 census. In 1901 Kitsey applied for a widows pension to the state of North Carolina. A copy of the application can be requested from the NC State Archives.
