Teresa, I looked up Sterns in the Kenton County Library newspaper index and the only Sterns it shows during that time frame is Martin Sterns (an Early Settler from Germany it said)who died...if I remember correctly ...in 1874 and his funeral was at St. Boniface in Ludlow. There is also a mention in the paper the next year that his wife (I think it said her name was Mary) was going back to Germany. Debi
