- From Winders of America:
The love of Aaron Winder's youth was Catherine Subers, who, however, married Isaiah Vanhorn. This does not appear to have interfered with the friendly relations between these individuals. It was on returning one night from a visit to his friend Winder that Isaiah Vanhorn met his death by falling from his horse. After parting from his guest, Aaron Winder paced for a time outside his door, listening to the more and more distant sound of hoof-beats borne to him on the frosty air. He noticed that after a considerable interval these appeared suddenly to cease. The next morning Isaiah Vanhorn was found about a mile away, lying across a stump, with his neck broken. His faithful horse, which still watched by his side, had during the night worn a path about the spot where his master lay. [1]
