Like his cousin, Jim Lowe MD, he apparently attended the medical college at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He practiced in the Edinburg and Gray communities in Attala County, Mississippi. He died early in his practice.

As soon as William and Martha were marred in Lawrence County, Tennessee, they left for Mississippi, apparently to join her Riddell kin who already lived there. They traveled down the Natchez Trace, each riding a horse and each leading a pack horse. The trace had been cut out of the woods. The stumps were left just low enough that wagons and carts could pass over them. It must have been an adventure for the two honeymooners. At some point in it's history the trace got to be a place for highwaymen and cutthroats. We don't know what the conditions were when William and Martha traveled it. Stories indicate that Martha would not have been afraid, just cautious. He severed in the Confederate army. At first he avoid conscription. When his wife saw the conscriptors coming she would blow a cow horn they used to call the hands in from the field for lunch, whereupon he would go and hide in a hollow tree. When the conscriptors were gone, Martha would blow the horn again and he would leave his hiding place. He once hid in some tall grass and one of the conscriptors almost stepped on him without ever seeing him. He later allowed the conscriptors to catch him, intentionally we understand. At some point he was captured by the Yankees. He was a great tobacco chewer and washed clothes for the Yankee officers to provide himself tobacco. His granddaughter, Estelle Horn Alderman, has a picture of him and his wife. Estelle says he had blue eyes and red hair that would portray a Scotch-Irish ancestry. Estelle also says his wife was said to be half indian. In this picture, she has the dark good looks that could portray an Indian ancestry. John William Horn, said that when they got to the Attala-Leake county line in Mississippi--his wife apparently had Riddle relatives there--they bought a section (640 acres) of land and built a house. William Wilbert Horn cut shingles with a frow and sided and roofed the house with them. After the war-in the hard times in the South during reconstruction following the Civil war--they sold off some of the land. As the children grew up and got married, they apparently gave parcels to them. His gravestone shows his death date as March 24, 1890, a Masonic Emblem, and the words 'Age 59 years'. If the 59 years is correct, he would have been born about 1831. In the 1850 Lawrence County, Tennessee census, he is show as living in household #277, the home of his sister Martha Angeline Horn and her husband John Holland Riddell and being 18 years old at the time.
