Mr.. Kerr accidentally fell overheard and was
drowned, and in kilograms published, the

COUNCIBMAN JOHN KERSHHBR.

His Death at Noon To-day at His Resi-

At the meeting OF the City Council one
week ago this evening John Kershner, senior,
member from the Fourth ward, was in his
seat and assisted in the transaction OF bust.
ness. When the same body assemblies to-
night at the usual hour, he will be lying a
corpse, waiting the last sad rites. The brief
announcement in last nights GLOBE REPuBLIc
in some measure prepared the community for
this one additional, but none expected it to
come so soon. It will be remembered that,
several months ago, Mr.. Kershner
was prostrated by stroke of pa
ralysi., his life being despared of then, for
time. Although he got about again and
was even able to attend to business, he was
never fully restored, and it was felt that his
death might occur at almost any time. 1t
did occur shortly before Noon today, at his
residence, No. 266 East street. The deceased
was afflicted with Brights disease of the kid
neys, probably at the foundation of his other
ailments John Kershner. as almost every
body, old citizens certainly, know, was pio-
neer and prominent contractor Of mason
work, formerly of the firm Of Kershner &
Trimmer, who built several of the largest
shops and business blocks in the city. He was
born in Springfield township, on the farm
entered by his grandfather in 1904. October
4, 1929, making him ffty-six years and six
months old. He was married in 1853 to
Adaline sister of George S. Knaub. Their
family consisted of six children, four of
whom are living. His father was Jacob
Kershner, Democrat OF the old school ana 4
political leader in the county for years. John
has followed ia the political faith of his
ancestors steadtastly, and has always been
one of that class who hold the respect and
confidence even of political opponents. He
held seat in the City Couucil in ls76-77,
and after being defeated by msjority OF
one, was, two years age, returned from the
new Fourth ward by a considerably larger
majority. He was capable, attentive, efficient
and honest in office. Due notice of bis de-
mise will no doubt be taken at the session OF
Council tonight, and arrangements made for
attending the funeral.

The Late Mrs. Baldwin, Of Catawb bA.


Maggie E. McConkey, the subject OF this
memoir, was born in Pleasant township,
Clark county, Ohio, June I, ls43. In her
fourteenth year she was converted and joined
Ohio, of which she remained consistent and
faith ul member until her death. She was
united in marriage with George H. Baldwin
April IL, 1867, with whom she enjoyed
eighteen years Of happy married lite. For
some months before her decease an
inslduous consumption had been slow
ly but surely undermining her
constitution. With the hope that change to
the early Spriuguue of the sunny South
might result in favorable change, she was
taken by her companion to Chattanooga,
Tennessee, but only two or three weeks pass
ed by until the long feared, fatal issue came,
for which, however, she was fully prepared,
and death claimed her as bis own. Her on
ly desire to live, was to still bless with her
company and care her husband and little son.
As for anything else she was ready and will
ing to depart. Breathing for a few days the
baluy air, and beholding the opening
beauty of the Spriugtime Of the South,
it seemed like an introduction
to the unfading beauty and glory of the eter-
nal spring-tide of heaven, into which she
ha. now entered, that blessed land Of inmor-
tality, where sickness, sorrow, pain and death
are felt and feared no more. She was q
cheerful, happy Christian, a kind companion,
a loving wife, and an affec,ionale sister and
mother. And her life and death have proved
the power OF divine grace and the reality
and divinity OF the power OF Christ. E.
