JOHN H. GERARD.

John Haze Gerard, son of Jonathan an
Jane Gerard, was born July IL, 1882, in what is
now Mount Washington, Hamilton county. O.
His family removed to Newtown in the au-
tumn of 1910. AT that time he was bright.
active, merry lad, and he then manifested
those characteristics of his frank, genial and
liberal nature, which elected the oommenda-
ton of those who knew him best, and won for
him the esteem and lasting friendship of his
intimate associates. Here as youth and boy
he grew TO a useful manhood. His fidelity to
his friends and employers then, as ever after
ward TO the time Of his death. was above sus-
picion, and at all times gave implicit conf
dence of his integrity and thorough devotion
TO whatever he undertook. AS a boy and
youth he seemed free TO do as he chose; was
free from restraint. He was ready always TO
join in anything proposed ny his associates,
however wild, and Joined in them with the zest
of an enthusiast. so long as the acts and con-
duct were not dishonorable. By his force of
character, with all this liberty of action, and
in all the field of temptation which was ever
open, he retained his self-respect. honor and
integrity. He kept well abreast of his bright
