F.K. Horton was a longtime director of maintenance at Co-Lin, a veteran of the Korean War and served in the U.S. Navy. Lucile Horton was director of the Early Childhood Development Technology program for many years and was honored with the Ageless Hero Award from the town of Wesson.

The Hortons were members of Sylvarena Baptist Church in Wesson where they both taught Sunday school and F.K. was a deacon for 40 years.
