My grandparents divorced when my father was about three. He, my grandfather, remarried and had a daughter and son, but that's about it. My father kept the name Van Horn, but my grandmother remarried and, of course, changed her last name with the ceremony. Somewhere back in the history of the family the "e" was dropped from the end of the last name.
I'll have to ask my Father, Brian. I know my Uncle Marvin was divorced but that's about all I know about that.
He remarried a woman named, Helen and also fought in the Korean war.

I don't believe he was originally from Big Sandy Tenn, but I could be wrong.

I'll let you know.
