Friday February 12 PETER EDWARD KERN IS KILLED BY TRAIN
Peter Edward Kern, 78, was instantly killed Monday morning at 7:30 when
he was struck by a Texas and Pacific train at the Masonic crossing. Mr.
Kern was in the habit of taking a short walk each morning before breakfast
and Monday on his return to the home, he either failed to see the
approaching train or was so preoccupied he walked in front of it.
Mr. Kern was one of the most interesting men at the home, he was known
far and near as "Klondike Pete" a name he was given during the gold rush to
the Yukon. Mr. Kern during those booming days, lived at Skagway, Alaska,
where he did a thriving jewelry business. He built a home on the mountain
side, near the town and this gradually assumed the name of Kern Castle.
To this home came men, prominent on Wall Street and in the financial
centers of the world, who were entertained in royal style. It is said the
Prince of Wales was a visitor to this Castle. At the time of his death, Mr.
Kern had in his room at the home, a chair in which many famous people have
sat, among whom were Dwight L. Morrow and the Prince of Wales.
Mr. Kern, during his lifetime had been three times a millionaire. His
last big venture, in which he is reputed to have lost his last fortune, was
the opening and financing an addition to El Paso, which is known today as
Kern Place.
Mr. Kern came to the home in 1932 from El Paso and for the last few
years of his life, he spent his entire time in working on many plans to
benefit humanity and doing kindly deeds for everyone with whom he came in
contact.
He was a constant visitor to the Journal office, usually coming on
Wednesday when he would be in town to attend the meeting of the Townsend
Club. His visits will be missed, for he always came in with a cherry
greeting and more often than not, with a small gift for some member of the
office.
He was a kindly, sweet old gentleman, in many ways like a child, but
every one loved him and expressions of shock and grief were heard all over
town Monday when news of his tragic end was passed around.
Mr. Kern was born at New Ridgel, Ohio, and had lived practically all
over the United States. He is survived by one sister, Mrs. Katharine Kern
Dugan, Bronxville, New York, with whom he kept in touch and who sent him
many gifts of money and other things to "make his last days happier." Also
one daughter, Mrs. Madeline Merz of New York.

Friday March 26 ARLINGTON BOY KILLED IN SCHOOL EXPLOSION
High school students, friends and all Arlington were shocked and grief
stricken when the news reached here that Jack Fentress was one of the
victims of the New London School horror.
Jack was an Arlington boy, born on North Oak Street, June the 19, 1920,
and lived here until the family moved to East Texas. The graduating class
at the High School were all classmates of his and they, with one accord, say

Jack was a great lover of music, was leader of the school band and was
to have played a cornet solo at a band concert given in Jacksonville the
night he was killed.
He was also an Eagle Scout, the highest honor to be attained in
scouting, and was Junior Assistant Scout Master of the troop at New London.
He was a lover of clean out-door sport and last year went out for tennis
making the same high mark of efficiency in that sport he made in the rest of
his work. He was a Junior Life Saver, and active in all school and campus
functions. Last year he took manual training, making his mother a beautiful
cedar chest and lamp which are now her dearest possessions.
Jack attended a Band Master's Convention in Waco two weeks before his
