Mr. Hydorn had high ideals and no man in the county was more zealous in the cause of education than he. His family imbibed the same spirit. He was extremely diffident and, hence, not prominent as many are who have less title to fame. He was a ready writer and a profound and accurate thinker. His contributions to the early Journal of which he was subscriber for nearly fifty years, bear testimony to his enthusiasm for diffusion of knowledge as well as his ability as a writer. Took great interest in political affairs.
