Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
          -------------------------------------------------

     On June 28, 1994, in connection with the Company's initial
public offering of Common Stock, Mr. Gillespie acquired 900
shares through his individual retirement account and 6,600 shares
held jointly with his wife.  On the same date, Mr. Gillespie's
wife acquired, in her own name, 1,600 shares of Common Stock, as
well as 900 shares for her individual retirement account.  The
foregoing purchases were made with personal funds for an
aggregate purchase price of $100,000.  Mr. Gillespie's wife
subsequently acquired 3,622 shares of the Company's Common Stock
through inheritance on August 1, 1996. 

     In addition, on October 27, 1994, 2,530 shares of Common
Stock were awarded to Mr. Gillespie pursuant to the Company's

of the shares of Common Stock covered by the award to Mr.

respectively, for a total of 1,518 shares, with the remaining
1,012  shares of Common Stock scheduled to vest in equal
installments on October 27,  1997 and 1998, subject to Mr.
Gillespie's continued service as an officer and/or director of
the Company.  Such shares do not vest in any year in which the <PAGE>

Company is not in compliance with all applicable regulatory
capital requirements.  Mr. Gillespie was also granted as of
October 27, 1994, options to purchase 7,590 shares of Common
Stock pursuant to the Company's 1994 Stock Option and Incentive
Plan (the "Stock Option Plan"), of which options relating to
4,554 shares of Common Stock are vested.  The remaining 3,036
options are scheduled to vest in equal installments on October
27, 1997 and 1998, subject to Mr. Gillespie's continued service
as an officer and/or director of the Company.  Mr. Gillespie also
had 1,814 shares allocated to his account under Horizon
Financial's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") as of
October 15, 1996.  As a result, Mr. Gillespie owns in excess of
five percent of Horizon Financial Common Stock.  


Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction
          ----------------------

     All of the shares purchased or otherwise acquired by Mr.

regulatory or reporting obligations of the Company.

     Except as noted above, Mr. Gillespie has no plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in:

     (a)  the acquisition by any person of additional securities

     (b)  an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or
any of its subsidiaries;

     (c)  a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

     (d)  any change in the present Board of Directors or
management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to
change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing
vacancies on the Board;

     (e)  any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of the Company;

<PAGE>

     (f)  any other material change in the Company's business or
corporate structure;

     (g)  changes in the Company's articles of incorporation,
bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions
which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any
person;

     (h)  causing a class of securities of the Company to be

authorized to be quoted in an inter-quotation system of a
registered national securities association;

     (i)  a class of equity securities of the Company becoming

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer
          -------------------------------------

     The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by Mr. Gillespie for the purpose of this statement is
22,520 shares representing 5.24% of the shares of Common Stock 
outstanding on the date hereof.  Such amount includes options
granted to Mr. Gillespie to purchase 4,554 shares of Common Stock
pursuant to the Stock Option Plan and includes 2,530 shares of
restricted stock awarded to Mr. Gillespie pursuant to the RRP. 
Of the 22,520 shares owned beneficially by Mr. Gillespie, Mr.
Gillespie has:  (1) sole voting and dispositive power with
respect to the 900 shares of Common Stock owned individually
through Mr. Gillespie's individual retirement account;  (2)
shared voting and dispositive power with his wife with respect to
the 6,600 shares of Common Stock owned by them jointly and the
6,122 shares of Common Stock owned by his wife individually;  (3)
sole voting and shared dispositive power with the trustees of the
ESOP with respect to 1,814 shares of Common Stock allocated to
Mr. Gillespie under the ESOP;  (4) sole voting and dispositive
power with respect to the 1,518 shares of Common Stock vested
under the RRP;  (5) sole voting but no dispositive power with
respect to the remaining 1,012 shares of unvested, restricted
Common Stock under the RRP;  and (6) sole voting and dispositive
power with respect to vested options to purchase 4,554 shares of
Common Stock granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.

     No other person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the shares held by Mr. Gillespie.

     Not included in the above amount are options to purchase
3,036 shares of Common Stock granted to Mr. Gillespie pursuant to
the Stock Option Plan.  These remaining options are scheduled to<PAGE>
<PAGE>

vest in equal amounts on October 27, 1997 and 1998, subject to
Mr. Gillespie's continued service as an officer and/or director
of the Company or the Bank.  Therefore, on July 29, 1998, Mr.
Gillespie will be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 25,556
shares of Common Stock.  Assuming the Company's aggregate number
of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock remains at
425,540 shares (the number of issued and outstanding shares of
Common Stock as of the date of this filing exclusive of the
unvested options) and that there are no other changes in Mr.
Gillespie's beneficial ownership of Common Stock, then Mr.
Gillespie will  beneficially own 5.90% of the Company's stock on
July 29, 1998. 

     Mr. Gillespie shares voting and dispositive power of certain
shares with his spouse, Martha A. Gillespie.  Ms. Gillespie's
address is 512 2nd Avenue East, Oskaloosa, Iowa 52577.  Ms.
Gillespie is an elementary school teacher.  During the last five
years, Ms. Gillespie has not been convicted in a criminal
proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors), or been a party to a civil proceeding of a
judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction which
resulted in him being subject to a judgment, decree or final
order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or being
found in violation with respect to such laws.  Ms. Gillespie is a
citizen of the United States of America.  


Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
          Relationships with Respect to the Securities of the
          Issuer
          ------------------------------------------------------

     There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or
relationships (legal or otherwise) between Mr. Gillespie and any
other person with respect to any securities of the issuer,
including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of such
securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, put or calls, guarantees of profits, divisions of
profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.  None
of the Company Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Gillespie
is pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence
of which would give another person voting power or investment
power over such shares.  

Item 7.   Material to be Filed as Exhibits
          ---------------------------------

     None.<PAGE>
