George Washington Kearns was my G-G-Grandpa. (There are many spelling variations of his last name for that reason I use the same spelling to reduce confusion even if his last name was seen on other documents as Karns, Karnes, Kerns, Kernes, and Kearns, Kearnes) George was a son of Jonathan B. Kearns and Cynthia Lee. He was born in Buchanan County, Missouri on Oct. 6, 1841. He married Matilda Jane McCord/Lane on July 29, 1860 in Rawles TWP, Mills County, Iowa. She died sometime between 1860-1865.
He then married Julia Ann Kinnamon (My G-G Grandma) on Dec. 12, 1868 in Plattsmouth, Cass County, Nebraska. George had seven children altogether between his two wives: (I am unsure which belong to Matilda) Sherman Richard Kearns, Richard Dickson Kearns, Laura Alice Kearns, Charlotte Nellie Kearns (Charlotte was my G-Grandma), LeDora Mae Kearns, Valda Magdalene Kearns and Mary Ethel Kearns.
He served 3 1/2 years in the civil war in the 15th Iowa Infantry, Company F. He served in the bloody battle at Shiloh and fought with Grant at Vicksburg and followed Sherman to the sea. (From his obituary)
He died at age 73 at his home in Walthill from chronic interstitial nephritis (on his death certificate) and gangrene that resulted from a prior blockage from the circulation in his feet. (From his obituary)
