DAVID KERNS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------
DAVID KERNS, farmer; P. O. Troy. Mr. Kerns was born May 31, 1823, and has always followed the occupation of farming; when he was 6 years of age his parents immigrated to Indiana, near Muncie; two years afterward his father died very suddenly, and the widow and her children removed to Darke Co., Ohio, settling, near Greenville; after living with his mother nine years, David came to this township worked two and a half years for Solomon Kerns. During this time he became engaged to and afterward married Miss Amanda Kerns, Aug. 29, 1845, the Rev. John Stephenson officiating; they went to Indiana, where Mrs. Kerns contracted the ague; they left Indiana on that account and came back to Concord Township, where Mr. Kerns purchased a part of the land upon which they now reside; they moved into an old log cabin, 16xl8, comprising parlor, dining and sleeping rooms in one room; he built a cabin the next year that was the envy of the neighbors, it being plastered overhead and having a fine porch attached. Six children are now living, one deceased, three married; one son and the daughter Olive still live with their parents; their names are Salista J., now the wife of John Strong; Luther J. is the husband of Miss Mary A. Brown; Alonzo R. married Miss Sarah J. Blackmore; Winfield S., William H. and Olive E. are still single. Mr. And Mrs. Kerns are in comfortable circumstances, and enjoy life, in their quiet way, in a high degree; their farm is in a fine state of cultivation, superintended by Mr. Kerns, and paying him a nice profit; the buildings and orchard are neatly kept, contentment reigning around the fireside.
