Frank E. Kernochan's Death
New-Haven, Conn., Sept. 27 - Frank E. Kernochan, of Pittsfield, Mass., who accidentally shot himself yesterday morning while looking for burglars, was very well and very favorably known in this city. He was a graduate of Yale College. He stood well in his class and has ever been held in high estimation by the college. He has attended nearly every commencement since he was graduated, over 20 years ago, and has been prominently mentioned for the office of Trustee. He studied law and was admitted to the New-York Bar. Mr. Kernochan was an invaluable man to Pittsfield. He leaves a widow and three young daughters. His funeral will be attended by several of the Yale Faculty from here.
