Ralph Van Horne was born in 1891, grew up in Illinois and graduated from high school in Roswell, New Mexico. He traveled back to Peoria, Illinois to attend Bradley University Watch and Jewelry School. He also served as a medic in the National Guard during World War I and was gassed by the enemy causing crippling later in life. After the war, Mr. Van Horne came to South Bend to work for Krause Jewelers. Time passed and in 1926, he and Lucy Flagel decided to start their own store. The Great Depression was tough on the newly founded Van Horne Jewelers, but it continued and was able to prosper. Mr. Van Horne had only one son, Jim Van Horne, who decided against pursuing a career in retail jewelry. Instead, he became a professor in Economics at Stanford University and has earned both a Masters and a PhD in Economics.
