the age of 77 years, two months and one day.
Leaving the old country at the age of sixteen she came to Lansing, Alamakee
county, Iowa, where she made her home with an aunt and uncle until her
marriage to F. W. Kehrberg, in January 1873. After a residence of twenty
years in the eastern part of the state, she came with her husband to
Merrill, in Plymouth county, and the next year they settled on the place
known as Brookdale Farm on John's creek. After a residence of twenty-three
years on this place they came to Kingsley which as been her home for the

grandchildren and one great grandchild and a host of other relatives and

Findley Hearn was born in Bermingham, Pennsylvania, March 23, 1852, and died
of apoplexy at his home three miles east of Kingsley, Iowa, October 16,
1927, at the age of 75 years, six months and 26 days.
He came to Davenport when three years of age, where he lived with his
parents until 1884 when he moved to Plymouth county, near Kingsley, and with
his family has lived in the present home since 1896.
Mr. Hearn was united in marriage to Miss Jane Hearn, September 8, 1881, near
Eldridge, Iowa. To this union was born six children: Francis E. Hearn, of
Pierson, Iowa; Thomas J. Hearn, of Charleston, West Virginia; Mrs. Hazel
Taylor of Humboldt, Iowa; and Ray and Ralph and Miss Helen Hearn all of
Kingsley, who, with the wife are left to mourn for a kind and loving husband
and father.
The children were all present at his funeral except Thomas, who was unable
to come on account of illness. Mr. Hearn has one sister, Miss Emma Hearn,
of Davenport, Iowa, who was also present, and ten grandchildren.
Mr. Hearn was a real pioneer in this section of the state, coming here when
houses were few and far between, and there were miles upon miles of prairie.
The home he had was largely made by his own hands. He was hard working and
exercised good judgment, thus making a success of his undertakings. He had
a good and noble companion to work and plan with him, and Mr. Hearn always
acknowledged this fact.
Mr. and Mrs. Hearn united with the Congregational church at Kingsley, in
1891, and were loyal to the church until death.
He has gone to his rest so richly deserved, "There remaineth a rest for the
people of the Lord."
Mr. Hearn belonged to the Masonic order of this place, which organization
had charge of the funeral services. He was a member of the Consistory of
the Southern Jurisdiction of Scottish Rights, 32nd degree. Also a member of
the M. W. A., Royal Neighbors of America and of the Farm Bureau of Garfield
township, of which he was an active member.
The sorrowing family have the sincere sympathy of a host of loving friends
and neighbors.
