Democratic Sentinel, Volume 9, Number 39, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 October 1885 — “Orpheus C. Kerr.” [ARTICLE]

“Orpheus C. Kerr.”

The story is denied that “Orpheus C. Kerr” is iu straitened circumstances. One who knows him says of Mr. Newell that “he is not old, but, on the contrary, young, hale, merry, and the delight of a charming circle of which his family is the center and most devoted to him. In other words, Orpheus C. Kerr lives an ideal life; he writes when he pleases, and besides his family, who adore him, he has many friends.— Chicago Tribune. A woman who claims to know says it takes more strategy to marry off a family of girls than it does to secure reelection to Congress.
