Honoré moved to Chicago, Illinois, from Kentucky in 1855 and made his fortune in real estate. Honoré's daughter, Bertha, married Potter Palmer in 1871, shortly before the Great Chicago Fire destroyed the Honoré Building at Adams and Dearborn in downtown Chicago. Another daughter, Ida, married General Frederick Dent Grant, son of President Ulysses S. Grant, in Chicago in 1874.[1] Honore St. (1832W) in Chicago is named after him.
