Eight years ago we opened our doors and shared The Grand Kerr House with family, friends and welcomed guests. But we didn’t do it alone. So thankful to The Brunch Bunch who cleaned, decorated and guided guests through the house. Thanks for the memories!

Mehitable "Hettie" Burchfield Kerr (1833/1839-1927)

Hettie was one of the children of the pioneers John and Mary Birchfield/Burchfield of Springfield Township. Three of her brothers served in the Civil War: Aaron, Eli, and Lafayette.

What is most interesting is that Hettie's husband, John Kerr, also served as a Captain in the 111th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and Hettie went as a nurse working at Lookout Mountain. The couple had seven children. John was a farmer and also a county commissioner.

Hettie's brother-in-law Benjamin served in Company I, 14th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was known for helping move the dead off the battlefields.

Hettie and John are buried in Swan Creek Cemetery.
