citizens of the county. His death occurred Frbruary 8, 1885. The mother was a

native of McNairy County, born bout 1828. She died September, 1862. Our subject

Pebble Hill, this county. March 5, 1872, he married Miss Josie Kerr, who was

born October 14, 1851, in McNairy County. She is the daughter of Thomas and Mary

A. Kerr, and by her marriage became the mother two children: Mary D. and Pearl.

In 1880 Mr. Erwin and his brother engaged in mercantile pursuits at Falcon,

Democrat in politics and a good citizen. Mr. Erwin's grandparents were Nathaniel

grandfather moved to Sumner County where he remained some time. He then came to

McNairy County and followed agricultural pursuits. His wife was the only

daughter in a family of twelve children, and five of the boys were soldiers in
