General Notes: Husband - Rev. Aaron Harvey Kerr

He was a student of the academy taught by Rev. J. D. Mason, and of the academy of J. P. Thomson. He graduated from Jefferson College in the Class of 1843, studied theology in the Western Theological Seminary, was licensed by the Presbytery of Ohio, April, 1846. He preached as a pioneer in many of the early churches of the west, and was for a time connected with the educational interests of St. Peter's, Minnesota.

In youth he was a man of fine physical appearance, tall, erect, and full of vigorous nerve, fond of a joke, but always carried his religion with him.

He was a soldier of the Civil war.
