Death of John Kerns

    Mr. John Kerns died at his home on the Chillicothe Road, about a mile from town, last Sunday evening, at seven o'clock. He was in the eighty-fourth year of his age, and about two weeks ago was taken ill with the flux, and never rallied.

    Mr. Kerns was born in Green Township, this county, and lived here most of his life. In 1833 he was married to Miss Elmira Blazer, and to them were born seven children, three of whom are now living.

Mrs. Kerns died, and in 1852 Mr. Kerns married the widow of Daniel Skinner. To this union one child, Mr. Charles Kerns, was born. Mrs. Skinner-Kerns died in 1878 and in 1879, he was married to Mrs. Lawson, widow of the late Hon. John Lawson, who survives him and mourns the loss of an affectionate and indulgent husband. Although Mr. Kern's death was not unexpected, it was nevertheless a shock to his wide circle of friends. He was one of the best known men in the county and was high respected by all.

    The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. W. E. I. d'Argent on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock, burial at Centenary.
