Mr. Kerr owned a beautiful lot in the Northern Cemetery in the city, wherein is buried his second son, Charlie, who died in 1858, aged two years, his law partner, James A. Ghormley, who died of consumption in 1862, and a little
adopted daughter that Mr. Kerr took to raise. The lot is separated from the last resting place of Gov. Ashbel P. Willard by a narrow walk through the grounds, and it is a little singular that these two great and honored sons of
Indiana should take their final sleep so near each other. Mr. Kerr always expressed a wish to be buried here, and designated the spot where he desired his grave. While Mr. Kerr was a member of no church, it is known that he was
partial to the Presbyterian faith, his estimable wife being an earnest and devoted member of that church.
