John N. Kehr

John N. Kehr, who resided in Jackson township, near Menges’ Mills, died Monday 
night, Sept. 30th, from the effects of a paralytic stroke.  Since he was stricken 
two weeks ago he temporarily improved, and hopes had been entertained for his 
recovery, but a relapse took place several days before his death.  His children 
were sent for, and John Kehr who is farming near Astoria, Ill., arrived a short 
time before his death.

Mr. Kehr was aged 74 years, 8  months and 14 days, and resided in Jackson 
township for more than fifty years.  He is survived by his wife, Barbara, four 
daughters and three sons – Miss Mary Kehr, Mrs. Amanda Stambaugh, Mrs. Annie 
Leese, and Mrs. Emma Altland, all of Nashville, this county; John B., of 
Astoria, Ill., George R, living in California, and Charles, of Spry, this 
county.  Three sisters also survive, as follows:  Mrs. Michael Myers, Mrs. Sarah 
Menges, and Mrs. Susan Senner, all of Spring Grove.

Funeral from his late home on Friday morning at 9 o’clock.  Services and 
interment at Christ Lutheran church, Rev. Frederick E. Geesey officiating.
