William H. Kerr - AD

William H. Kerr advertised in the Greencastle papers right before the turn of the 20th century (1890s) - could not find him in the 1900 census although he married Ida C. Ripley 29 Oct 1878 in Putnam County - they have one son Alva E. in the 1880 census age 2 months.  Sadly, Ida died that census year in November, having been born in August of 1860 thus just 20 years old. Buried at the Dunkin Cemetery in Quincy (Owen County, Indiana). He and son Alva are found in the 1902 Indianapolis City Directory, their business at 1023 E. Washington Street then Alva in Cairo, Illinois in the 1910 census as a photographer in business with Jessie Ronkeberger.

On Sunday Oct 20, 1907 Mrs. RM Mason gave a dinner in honor of Lowry Mason, her stepson of Denver Co who is here visiting relatives and friends for the first time in 24 years. He is on the police force in Denver.  Mrs. Mason is the mother of 12 children and 3 step children, all of whom are living except one stepson, 27 grandchildren and two greats.  All her children were present but two….After dinner, photographer Knight of Cloverdale took a picture of the family.  All departed hoping that many more reunions like this one can be enjoyed.
