General Notes: Husband - Samuel Washington Kerr


His gravestone is in Union Cemetery and was likely moved from the older cemetery at the bottom of the hill in Shelmadine Springs in Oil Creek Township. His stone was moved but not his wife's - her gravestone is lost. The bodies are likely still in the old pioneer cemetery.
