Two weeks ago she fell out of a window, a distance of 14 feet, sustaining injuries which hastened and caused her death. She was the relict of Henry Kerns and had reached the advanced age of 88 years. Three out of five children survive her, viz. Mrs. Louisa Smeltzer, Thomas Kerns, and Mrs. Madaline Skinner, with whom she made her home.
