Arizona Republic (Phoenix, AZ), June 17, 1967, p. 44:
"Marie A. Kerr
   Private services for longtime Phoenix resident Marie Antoinette Kerr, 86, who died Thursday in John C. Lincoln Hospital, will be held today. Burial will be in Greenwood Cemetery. Mrs. Kerr resided at 8818 N. Third St.
   A native of Helena, Mont., Mrs. Kerr came to Arizona in 1900 from Seattle. She is survived by her husband, John."

Note: Birth data is from her Certificate of Delayed Birth Registration, which gives her date of birth as January 20, 1881 and was filed in 1945 (Montana, County Births and Deaths, 1830-2011, at ancestry.com). However, she appears with her family as "Katie Farrs" (census taker error, possibly "Farro") in the 1880 census (Prickly Pear Valley, Lewis & Clark Co., MT) as a four-month old with a birth month of January, indicating she was born in 1880, not 1881. As for the name Katie, perhaps her parents hadn't yet settled on a name. The family is definitely them.
