   Nathan B. Hern, real estate operator of Cheney, Kan., was born January 7,
1866, in west Tennessee. He is a son of George W. and Mary C. Hern, and traces
his remote ancestry back to England. His parents removed from Tennessee to Reno
county, Kansas, when he was a small child, and there he was reared with the
benefit of a common school education. At the age of fifteen he left home and
spent several years on a cattle range in western Kansas. In 1885 he took up his
residence in Cheney and obtained employment as a clerk in a hardware and
implement store conducted by D. M. Main, for one year, when he engaged as
salesman for the McCormick Harvesting Machine company, and remained in that
capacity up to 1907, when he engaged in real estate, which business he is
engaged in at the present time. The firm of Hern & Northcutt, of which he is a
member, transacts a large business, selling and buying ranches running into
thousands of acres. Mr. Hern holds large real estate interests in Kingman and
Sedgwick counties, Kansas. He is modest in recalling his successful career in
real estate, yet no man in the state is better posted on realty values than he,
and through careful operations he has accumulated a large fortune. Fraternally
Mr. Hern is a Mason, a member of Morton Lodge No. 258, A. F. & A. M., in which
lodge he has occupied all the chairs, and is a member of Wichita Consistory No.
2. On February 3, 1893, Mr. Hern was married to Miss Nellie M. Marble, of
Cheney, daughter of A. S. Marble. Mrs. Hern was born at La Cygne, Linn county,
Kansas, on April 20, 1875. On her father's side her ancestry is Scotch, and on
her mother's German. No children have been born of this union. Mr. Hern is a
Democrat of the Jefferson school.
