THOMAS KEARSE, farmer, P. O. Larne, was born April 8, 1848, Ireland, and is the son of John and Catharine (Nailor) Kearse. In October of 1850, his parents emigrated to America, settling in Lockport, N. Y. where they remained two years and then moved to Logan County, this State, and lived there until the spring of 1859, when they came to the county. The subject of this sketch received a common school education, and, for his occupation, chose farming, which he has followed through life, and is the owner of eighty-five acres of land, which he purchased in 1873. On May 1, 1878, at St. Mary's Catholic Church, in Kenton, he was married to Margaret A. Dowd, born January 27, 1856, in Madison County, this State, and a daughter of Thomas and Mary (Tully) Dowd, both natives of Ireland. This union resulted in three sons, viz., Robert Emmet, born March 9, 1879; Frederick Elsworth, born April 30, 1881; and John Bernard, born February 15, 1883. Mr. and Mrs. Kearse are members of the Catholic Church. Mr. Kearse is a Democrat in politics, and is an intelligent and useful citizen of Dudley Township.
