DR. A. J. KEARNS WILL BE GREATLY MISSED
The death of Dr. A. J. Kearns came so sudden that our people were shocked at the announcement last Friday morning that he had passed to the great beyond without their knowledge that he had even been ill, which was known to but a few of his intimate friends.
While he was writing one of his sons last Thursday afternoon, he was seized with a severe pain in his chest, which developed to be acute indigestion. He was ill all of Thursday night, and on Friday Morning was some better. He got up and dressed and walked around the yard, and on going into the house was seized with a spell which undoubtedly affected his heart, for in just a few minutes after he was stricken, his spirit had flown to the great beyond, almost in the twinkling of an eye.
Dr. Archibald J. Kearns was born near the city of Vinton, Iowa, October 11th, 1858, and grew to manhood there. He graduated from Tilford academy, June 15th, 1882, and from the Missouri Medical College and the Medical Department Of Washington University, of St. Louis, Missouri.
On May 2nd, 1886, he located for the practice of his profession at Loup City, Nebraska, where he resided until his death.
He was married to Elsie M. Viles, at Vinton, Iowa, November 24th. 1887.
Dr. Kearnes (sic) was a consistent, christian man, uniting with the First Presbyterian church of Vinton, Iowa, when thirteen years of age, and at the time of his death was a member of the First Presbyterian church of Loup City.
Dr. Kearns was prominent in the work of his profession. He became a member of the Loup Valley Medical society in 1887 and became a member of the National Association of Railway Surgeons in 1889 and served as local surgeon for the Burlington railroad company for ten tears. He was also elected a member of the American Medical association in June 1901, and the Nebraska Medical society in May of the same year.
Dr. Kearns was a member of the following lodges at the time of his death: Modern Woodmen of America, Knights of Pythias, Order of the Eastern Star and the Free and Accepted Masons.
Dr. Kearns died at his home in Loup City, June 15th, 1917, and leaves to mourn his loss a wife and two sons, Raymond V., of Pekin, Illinois, and Archie J., of Howard, Kansas, also three brothers, two sisters and the entire community.
The funeral services were held at the Presbyterian church on Sunday afternoon, the Masonic lodge having charge of the services, assisted by the Eastern Star. Rev. E. M. Steen delivered the sermon at the church, and at the grave the Masonic order paid its last sad rites to the deceased brother by giving their impressive ceremony. Members of the Masonic order, acted as pall bearers, and the remains were laid to rest in Evergreen cemetery.
This closes the last chapter in the life of a useful citizen. Dr. Kearns did not live in vain, for he gave to the country two useful sons, both of them ministers of the gospel, who will do their share to help make the world better.
