The following clipping from an Oakdale, CA paper relates the death of A.G. Kerr, native Ozarkian, and son of W.T. Kerr of Oakdale. W.T. Kerr received sad news yesterday of the death of his oldest son, A.G. Kerr, 50, of Seattle, who was instantly killed about 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon in Alameda when he stepped on a railroad track and was struck by a train. He was walking with an associate of his company when the accident occurred. No definite report of how the accident actually happened has been received as yet. He had spent a very happy weekend with his father and step-mother here, it being the first time in fourteen years he had been in Oakdale. He was born in Ozark, MO and had come to Oakdale with his father when he was a young lad. He had recently accepted a position as outside salesman with the Colby Steel and Engineering Co. and had come to the bay area on business planning to spend two weeks in San Francisco, then south to Los Angeles and on to Chicago. Besides his father he leaves his widow, Mrs. Clara Kerr of Seattle, a brother, E.P. Kerr of Sacramento, three sisters, Mrs. George Dick of Aptos and Mrs. C. D. Valentine and Mrs. A. G. Martin of Stockton. The body is in an Alameda mortuary where funeral services are pending awaiting word from the widow in Seattle.
