W. H. KERB PAYS .L S NATURE''S DEBT
Editor and Proprietor of The Post
for over 44 Years
After being confined to his 'bed ,since Feb. 47th
and unconsclous ,for 53 hours, W. H. Kerr, Editor
and Proprietor of ithe Brussels Post for the past
44 years, died at Itis home In Brussels, about ane
o'clock Monday morning. He had, been In failing
health during the past year, but stayed at the
office until forced to' go to bls bed.
Mr. -Kerr was the eldest son of the date Rev.
J. L. and Mrs. Kerr, and was born at Flesherton,
Ontario on $epte'nlber 10th, 1856. The common
schools in various downs and the Wardsvelie high
School gave him the qualifications to enter the
teaching 'profession, which he - followed for four
years. Following this he took up his studies for
the ministry but on account of 111 health 'he deckled
to try the newspaper business, and after spending
sortie months with the McGillicuddy Bros., who had
started The Post some 7 years previous, on Autgnst
1st, 1880 purchased- thepaper and has continued
Its publication up to the time ill -health forced him'
to give up his life work. By conscientious, honest
work and always on the job ettendng to his duties
he has built it up so that today it is one of the
widest circulated and best weekly newspapers in
the province, and one of the few that has made a
financial success. For several years he has held
the honored position of President of the Huron
and Perth Weekly Newspaper Associaton.
Active in Church Work ,
Forthepast 44 years he was Superintendent
of the Methodist Sunday School and took an active
interest in all its work. He was for many years
the choir leader, resigning ,some 10 or 12 years
ago. He was Recording Steward for many years
and was Secretary of the Building Committee,
following the fire which recently damaged the
church. For many years he has been active in the
work of the Wingham
ham District, LondonConference
andr f old
the - General Conference, as well the
as
convections of the Epworth Leagues and Sunday
Schools, and always took an active interest in the
welfare of the other .churches in the community.
in May 1892 he succeeded J. M. McIntosh as
Reeve of Brussels and served the Village as the
Chief Magistrate for 7 years, and later as one
of the County Commissioners, a total of 13 years.
in 1903 he was 'Warden of the 'County.
Although always a strong Liberal In politics
and many a campaign . he took an active part
for the various Liberal candidates, Mr. Kerr held
firmly to 'belief that a local paper should be a
newspaper to serve the public in general and not
a .political organ, welch no doubt assisted to
make his endeavors a wonderful success. For over
26 years he had been Secretary -Treasurer of the
East Huron riding Liberal Association. .He re-
ceived the nomination 'in 1907 for East Huron for
the Legislature; but the riding 'was changed and
Brussels was placed in Centre Huron. 1n the
election of 1911 he contested North Huron, but
was unsuccessful, although he brought the big
majority down.
In his earlier years he had taken an active
interest in the I. 0. 0. F., C. 0. F. and the A. 0.
W., having passed through all the .chairs, and was.
D. D. G. M. for the Workmen. Until January he
was Financial Secretary for the Workmen.
For many years he served as Secretary -
Treasurer of the- East Huron Fall Fair and in the
capacity of a Director of the old East Huron Far-
mers°' Institute, He took an •active interest in
the formation of the Horticultural Society and is
a Past President of the Society.
For 44 years Mr. Kerr was Secretary-Treas-
- firer of the Bible Society for Brussels and vicinity
and with his faithful band of collectors, succeeded
in sending liberrl contributions to the head-
quarters.
On January 10th 1333, the late Mr. Kerr
was united in marriage to Miss Helen Kay, of
Brussels, who 'survives Mw, along with one son,
J. Leslie Kerr, recently of the Olit ton New Bra.
Last fall the latter paper was amalgamated with
the Clinton News -Record and the son moved to
Brussels with the expectation that bre father whose
health was then showing signs of over -work,
would be at liberty to take a much needed rest.
The deceased is 'also survived by - a little grand-
daughter, ,Mary Helen Kerr, and Mrs. J. L. Kerr.
Also by one brother, Rev. W. E. Kerr, of Van-
couver, B. C., and three sisters Mrs. J. J. Gilpin, of
Brussels, Mrs. (Dr.) Cavanagh, Owen Sound, and
Mrs. (Rev.) W. A. Matthews, Shallow Lake.
