Death of an Eccentric OctOgenarian.

w. T. Kerr, whose home for 20 years
was at the mouth OF Fools creek, in Howe
township, Forest comfy, Pa, died on
Monday, April s, 1912, at the home of
Justice Luse, at the ripe age OF 81 years.
He was jolly old fellow, liked by all
who knew him for his wit and humor
which always was part of him, and in
bis last illness neighbors and friends saw
to it that he needed nothing that would
make his last days on earth comfortable
and peaceful. Little was known of the
old man except that he was native of
Ireland, and had followed the vocation of
s sailor in his younger days. He had lit.
tie to say of his past life. To his friends
he was known as pat Grddleskin," and
few knew him by any other designation
and believed that to be his real name. He
made few requests when he realized that
the end was near, but expressed a desire
that his remains be laid to rest in the
Whig Il i'll cemetery, stating that enough
money would be found in his possession
to give him "decent burial" as he put
it. This was found to be true and on
Wednesday following his death friends
carried out to the letter the old mans
request, prayer and short song service
being held before leaving the house.
