J. Turner Horner, with the aid of his wife, Martha, established his school in 1902 Rocky Comfort, Missouri,〔http://www.neosholibrary.org/sites/default/files/ROOTS_6_2013.pdf〕 which had a population of between 300-500 residents at the time. It offered a wide range of classes, including English literature, Latin, Greek, German, geometry, algebra, physics, public speaking, pedagogy, United States history, English history, music, piano, organ, bookkeeping, modern agriculture and others.〔http://www.neosholibrary.org/sites/default/files/ROOTS_6_2013.pdf〕 In 1908 the town of Fairview, Missouri made an offer to Horner to house his school, which included moving the building that housed it and providing him with a $2,000 bonus, which he accepted,〔Neosho Times; Thirty Years Ago; September 1, 1938; Page Two〕 then in 1911 it merged with the Stella Academy and moved to Stella, Missouri. It moved a final time in 1912 to Purdy, Missouri where it occupied a new two-story brick structure before closing in 1913.〔http://www.neosholibrary.org/sites/default/files/ROOTS_6_2013.pdf〕 An effort was made in 1913 for the institute to move to Carthage, Missouri and be housed in the former Carthage Collegiate Institute, which had been founded in 1886 and closed in 1908,〔http://www2.westminster-mo.edu/wc_users/homepages/staff/brownr/missouriCC.htm〕 building by A. L. McCauley〔Joplin Daily Globe; McCauley Aids Campaign; August 1, 1913; Page Five〕 of Joplin, Missouri and J. A. Turner or Purdy.〔Neosho Daily Democrat; Horner Institute May Move to Carthage: February 25, 1913〕
It advertised that students graduating from the school were then granted admission to the University of Missouri and certain other state colleges without taking normal entrance exams. And tuition cost $18–$30 for a nine-month term, $18 for eighth grade instruction and $30 for high school,〔Newton County Highlights, 2002, Neosho Christian Schools, Page 83〕 with room and board was available for $2.50-$3.00 per week with private families.〔http://www.neosholibrary.org/sites/default/files/ROOTS_6_2013.pdf〕
