county, KY, and died at the home Of
her son, Henry McKern, in Leon, Iowa,
Sept. 5, 1900, aged 80 years, months
and 20 days.
Mrs. Vanderpool was one of the old
est and best known settlers in Decatur
county. When she was 8 years old
her parents left Shelby county, KY,
the place of her birth and moved to
Putnam county, Indiana, where she
grew to womanhood and was united
in marriage to Patrick McKern. To
them were born nine children. In
1843 they moved to Brown county.
Illinois, where they lived four years,
then going to Mercer county, Mo.
Four years later, in 1851 they moved
to Decatur county, Iowa, settling on
what is known as the old Booth place.
now owned by Len Hamilton. At that
time there was no such place as Leon,
and very few settlers except the Indians
who were shortly after driven away.
In 1855 Mr.. McKern was called from
earth to a brighter world to meet those
who had gone before. The widow
mourned for her beloved husband as
only wife can mourn. She was left

her loved ones.
Two years after the death Of her hus.
band she was again married to John
Vanderpool. To them was born one
child, Doniphan Vanderpool. Shortly
after she was again left widow, and
her eldest sons Beadie and Abraham
leaving home, Beadie going to Idaho
and Abraham enlisting in the war of
the rebellion, she was left to struggle
again to support Sher family, her only
assistance being from her son Henry
who was then 8 years old.
Mrs. Yanderpool wasa kind and in.
dulgent mother ever striving for the
care and comfort of her family. She
was good neighbori and enjoyed the
warm friendship of many friends.
While quite young she united with the
Baptist church and ever lived con-
slstent christian life. a
