Notes:

The death of both John Kern and Catherine (Royer) Kern occurred within a short space of time in 1823. Tradition has it that both are buried in the old Hassinger's church cemetery. Their young children were left fatherless and motherless at an age when they were greatly in need of parental love, guidance and protection. They were mostly reared and taken care of by their uncles and aunts.

John married Catharine Royer. Catharine (daughter of John George Royer and Elizabeth Shuey) was born about 1815 in Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"John George was a son of Adam George. His wife was a Miss Salome Rishell and her people lived, . . . in the vicinity
of Salona in Nittany Valley. . . . [John] Yearick was in many ways a remarkable man. He was physically tall and well built. . . . ."

". . . [John]had little means and had shouldered a large debt by the purchase of the farm. He could not hire mechanics to construct the barn, which was the first building needed and to be erected there on. He therefore himself planned the kind of a barn that he wanted. When it was completed, it contained three threshing floors, three large mows, and in addition three overhead mows, . . . When the plan was completed, the lumber was cut on the farm according to lengths required and taken to the sawmill and converted into various forms of lumber necessary for building purposes. When the lumber was seasoned and ready, he undoubtedly had the assistance of a few carpenters.
Every piece of timber that went into the structure was fashioned according to the place it was to occupy in the building, as to length, width, thickness, and mortice or countermortice, so that when the "raising day" came there was but one piece of timber in which there was a mistake
made. . . . as the first bank-barn in that part of the country, it was the wonder of all people. It was not long until in all directions such barns were desired, and Grandfather Yearick was called to build them."
