MRS. JANE M. KERR

Special to the Tribune.
  Bedford, January 16 - Mrs. Jane M. Kerr, widow of Edward F. Kerr, 
esq., died at her home on South Juliana street, this place, this 
morning, after a long illness.  Deceased was aged about 72 years and 
was a daughter of the late Major Samuel Tate, also a well known lawyer 
and former prothonotary at this place.  In September 1890 she was 
united in marriage with Hon. Edward F. Kerr, one of the most prominent 
members of the Bedford county bar.  In her death Bedford loses one of 
its most highly esteemed residents, the Presbyterian church one of its 
most consistent members, and the community a friend who was ever 
willing to lend her aid in any way.  Deceased is survived by two 
sisters and two brothers: Mrs. Martha Smith and Mrs. Eliza Cowan, both 
of Philadelphia; Joseph W. and Huston Tate, both of Bedford.  The 
funeral arrangements have not been made but services will likely be 
held at the late home on Friday, Rev. Ka. A. Bishars, her pastor, 
conducting the services.  Interment in the Bedford cemetery.
