Return To The United States
Horton was mentioned in the New York Times, of 4 November 1922 p. 28, on his return to the United States in 1922.
"Dr. George Horton, United States Consul General at Smyrna, where he witnessed the burning and sacking of the ancient seaport and the evacuation of 40,000 refugees in five days, arrived here yesterday on the America of the United States Lines ..."
In that article it is noted that he brought with him thirty gold coins of ancient Lydia, believed to have been minted for Croesus, discovered by the American Archaeological Society.
Horton was quoted in a book titled Remembering Chrysostomos:A Modern Day Martyr:
I have known Monsigneur Chrysostomos for years. He was an active and enthusiastic exponent of Greek ambitions and ideals which it seems to me was quite natural in him as a Greek ... set him down in their history as a hero and martyr.
During the Smyrna catastrophe, Nureddin Pasha turned Bishop Chrysostomos over to an angry mob. The bishop was barbarically beaten, mutilated and killed.
