Obituary for Garnett Denton "Jack" Horner:

Garnett Horner, Retired Star Correspondent

Garnett D. (Jack) Horner, 73, a retired White House correspondent of the old
Washington Star newspaper, died of cancer Aug. 19 at a nursing home in Jupiter,
Fla.

Mr. Horner was born in Chattanooga, Tenn., and attended the University of
Chattanooga. He began his newspaper career on the Chattanooga News. He later
worked for United Press in Atlanta, Birmingham and New York. He moved to
Washington in 1936 with the UP and joined The Star a year later. He retired in
1974.

During World War II, Mr. Horner took leave from The Star to work as a State
Department press attache in the Mediterranean theater.

As a White House correspondent, he wrote a widely printed story about President
Eisenhower's appearance after his heart attack in September 1955. He had an
exclusive interview with President Nixon during the 1972 presidential campaign.

Colleagues of Mr. Horner admired the thoroughness with which he covered daily
news developments at the White House and the speed and accuracy with which he
could dictate stories against the tight afternoon deadlines of The Star. The
newspaper closed in 1981.

Mr. Horner was a former president of the White House Correspondents'
Association and a member of the National Press Club and the Overseas Writers

He lived in Washington until 1977, when he moved to Myrtle Beach, S.C. He
