LOCKPORT
DIES WHILE WAITING FOR DOCTOR TO COME
Jacob Kerner, a well known citizen of Lockport, died very suddenly Friday evening in Dr. E.A. Kingston's office, where he was waiting the coming of the doctor. At the coroner's inquest next morning a verdict of death from heart failure was returned.
Mrs. Kerner had not been in the best of health for several days, but did not think his condition serious and continued at this work each day. He felt worse than usual Friday and in the evening on his way home from work stopped at Dr. Kingson's office. He found that the doctor was not in, but decided to wait for him. When Dr. Kingson arrived he found that Mr. Kerner had passed away quietly in his chair, his hat and dinner pail still held in his hands.
The body was removed to his residence in North Lockport and the inquest was held at Goodale's undertaking rooms on Saturday.
Mr. Kerner leaves a wife, one son and five daughters. The son, Jacob, lives at home and the daughters are all married. Two live in Lockport, two in Joliet and one in Michigan. The daughters who live in Lockport are, Mrs. William Murphy and Mrs. Thomas Murphy.
Jacob Kerner was born in Germany 56 years ago. When two years old he was brought to America and his life since then has been spent in Joliet and Lockport. He worked in the bran department of the Norton flouring mills for many years.
He was a member of Mill City Camp, Modern Woodman of America, which order will have charge of the funeral services Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from his late residence to the M.E. church.
Mrs. Kerner is a sister of Mrs. Schultz.
