EULOGY
Delivered in the House of Representatives, December 16 (difficult to read),
1876, on the Life and Character of Hon. M. C. Kerr by Hon. N. T. Carr, his
Successor.
.For the first time in the history of our government has the organization of
the House of Representatives been disturbed and its members saddened by the
death of its presiding officer.
Michael C. Kerr was a native of Titusville, Pennsylvania, where he was born
on the 15th of March 1827. His parents were people in moderate
circumstances and of that old, sturdy Pennsylvania stock whose children may
be found scattered in every section of the country giving life and vitality
to every department of human enterprise. He was chiefly self-educated but
studied at the Erie Academy whence he was graduated at the age of 18.
During his attendance at the academy, Mr. Kerr became attached to Miss
Coover and immediately after his graduation married her. By teaching
school, Mr. Kerr earned the means to defray his expenses at the Louisville
University where he received the degree of bachelor of laws in 1851. In
1852 he removed to New Albany, Indiana, and began the practice of law. He
early developed those traits of character that have since made him an
enduring name among his countrymen. He was elected attorney of the city of
his adoption, and in the performance of the duties entrusted to him, he most
arduously devoted himself and attracted public attention to his ability. At
the end of one year's service, he was elected prosecuting attorney for the
County of Floyd serving in that capacity but a year when, in 1856, he was
nominated as a candidate for the legislature, and in the October following
was elected. It was during this year that attention was first attracted to
his powers as an orator.
Michael Crawford Kerr was no ordinary man but one formed by his Creator to
fill an important mission in the stirring event of his stewardship here, and
to this end he was endowed with clear conceptions, sound judgment, and a
will to dare and do that which his convictions conceived to be right.
