sion required. She was kind-hearted and credulous to a fault. She was a devoted member of the Reformed church at Rebersburg and endeavored to rear her children in the same faith. She died May 21, 1884, aged 69 years, 7 months and 9 days. She and her husband, Isaac, are buried at Rebersburg, Pa.

The death of both John Kern and Catherine (Royer) Kern occurred within a short space of time in 1823. Tradition has it that both are buried in the old Hassinger's church cemetery. Their young children were left fatherless and motherless at an age when they were greatly in need of parental love, guidance and protection. They were mostly reared and taken care of by their uncles and aunts.
