More About Ed Kerns

We're closing out the big Grand Opening week for our online store, Kerns Grocery, and we've been sharing some things with you about Ed and Galena. This post and our next post will focus more on Ed, we'll share more about Galena later.

We aren't sure what the rumor was that prompted him to take out this ad, but we regret to say that he did not win the election.

Ed and Galena rebuilt after the fire and the store operated through the 70's. Now our online version of their store carries on the tradition. You can see our full selection of shirts that celebrate the McGraws and the McGraws area over on our website at. . .

Kerns-McGraw Marriage - 1937

In further celebration of the opening of our new online store, Kerns Grocery, we share with you Galena & Ed's Marriage License. Ed and Galena were married January 9, 1937, and were separated by Ed's untimely death in 1967.
