Obituary: Judge John Karr died yesterday, Dec. 24, 1894, at Little Rock, Ark.,
aged sixty. He was a native of Sandusky, Ohio., and was a neighbor and classmate
of Ex - President Garfield in his boyhood. He served through the war in the
Regiment in which Garfield was General, he being Captain of a company. He went
to Arkansas at the close of the rebellion, and Garfield wanted to make him
Postmaster of Little Rock when he was elected President. He declined the offer
so he might give his attention to The Rural Workman. He was founder of the
Cincinnati Times, now the Times Star, which he edited for several years. He was
also at one time an editorial writer on the Commercial and other leading Ohio
Republican journals. New York Times, Dec. 25, 1894.
