During his long business career in this community he won and held the respect and confidence of practically the entire county. To know Horace Abraham was to admire his strict adherence to high principles, his industry, his devotion to his family, his all-around good sense and cheerful, optimistic character. An Emporia businessman said of him today: "Horace Abraham handled thousands and thousands of dollars of other people's money, but no one ever found him one cent short. He was absolutely straight and dependable. He had no enemies -not that he lacked backbone or conviction, but always he took the right view of every important question. No better man ever has grown up in Lyon County."
