I am a distant relative of Horatius Bonar, though not a direct descendent. Rather, I am descended from his uncle John Bonar, who emigrated to Ireland to run a boys' school in Donegal. His son James (named after Horatius' father James) and daughter Martha emigrated from Donegal to Delaware and Philadelphia, thence to Ontario. Martha was my great grandmother, and she married a Stewart from Scotland and died in North Dakota. I guess that makes Horatius my great great grand uncle. I have just discovered him in the course of doing some genealogical research, and its very exciting to have finally come across such a notable ancestor. I'm very anxious now to read more about him, and especially read his hymns and sermons. Do you know if the 1889 biography is available anywhere? Thanks for any replies.
