Gerard, the affable proprietor of the livery and feed stables at Pierceton, Kosciusko county, Indiana, is a son of Isaac and Louisa (Kirkpatrick) Gerard, born in Plain township, Kosciusko county, Indiana. July 7, 1864. He enjoyed the advantages of our present excellent common-school system in his native township and that of Tippecanoe township. Laying aside his text-books at the age of seventeen he began his struggle for self-maintenance and future prosperity as a railroader, working for the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chicago railway, with which he remained for three years. He then turned his attention to farming, but disposed of his farming interests and went to Fort Wayne, where he entered the service of the traction company as conductor and driver. When the old system of power was superseded by the electric system, Mr. Gerard had charge of and was conductor of the first car run over the road. He remained with the company for two years, and then accepted a position with the Centliver Brewing Company of Fort Wayne, remaining with it for one year and a half. Returning to Kosciusko county, he again engaged in farming, locating in Tippecanoe township, which he followed for six years. He then moved to Marshall county and in 1901 moved to Pierceton and purchased a half interest in the livery business conducted by his cousin, Cary Gerard. Believing that the business could be better conducted alone, he purchased his cousin's interest and is now sole proprietor. He has seven head of good horses, two sample wagons, and other vehicles necessary for a complete livery and in sufficient quantity to meet the requirements of business, and, being centrally located, is quite prosperous. On January 11, 1885, Mr. Gerard led to the hymeneal altar Miss Elizabeth Coons, a daughter of Moses and Sarah (Hamlin) Coons. They are now the parents of three interesting children: Clara, Lora and Olia, all at home. Mrs. Gerard was born at Etna Green, this comity, March 4, 1867, and was there educated in the public schools. Both parents of Mrs. Gerard are deceased, passing away at their home in this county, the father in 1885 and the mother in 1880. Mrs. Gerard had five uncles on the maternal side who served in the Civil war. The father of Mr. Gerard died in Etna township in 1882: his mother passed away in Plain township in 1864.
