Gonzales Inquirer April 13, 1891
Monday morning the news was flashed over the wires that Dr. G. W. Kerr of Waelder, had died at his home. It was no surprise, as he had been dangerously ill for several days and his life despaired of, but the news was received with sadness by all who had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Kerr. He was noble hearted gentleman, and a leader in those virtness that make manhood useful. In him Waelder loses one of its most progressive, refined and reliable citizens. His funeral on Tuesday at 12 o'clock was the largest ever seen in that section, and there were about twenty of his friends and Masonsic brethren in attendance from Gonzales. The branch trained was run down to Waelder to accommodate those from Gonzales. (Provided CM - Contributor #47210136)
