Henry Clay Thorne, a son of Leonard Thorn, was born in 1845 and died, according to his obituary in the Nassau County Sun, on September 29th, 1916. He operated this livery stable under the name of H. C. Thorn, and an undertaking establishment under the name of Henry C. Thorn.
Both the livery stable and undertaking establishment are shown on the Sanborn Maps, from 1886, the first Sanborn Map of Roslyn, onward, on the site of the present Odd Fellows Hall at #41 Main Street. Actually, "H.C. Thorne Livery Stable" is shown on the Beers-Comstock Map in 1873. The Walling Map shows this site as "L. Thorn" in 1859. Both stable and undertaking establishment burned to the ground sometime after 1903. Advertisements for both establishments were found in the Roslyn Tablet for October 27th, 1876.
Circa 1895
