Edward Kern (police officer)
Edward Kern (1860–1912) was a soldier who served in the U.S. war against Geronimo. He was a 19th and 20th century Los Angeles, California, politician and police chief who became an alcoholic and committed suicide.
==Personal==
Kern was born on a farm in Norwalk, Iowa, in 1860. At age 19 he went to Colorado, where he was a teamster. He moved through New Mexico to Arizona, where he did railroad construction work. Later, in Prescott, Arizona, he was chief of supplies, or "forage master," under General George R. Crook in the Army's campaign against the Indian leader Geronimo. When Nelson A. Miles took over from Crook in 1886, the new commander placed Kern in charge of the commissary.〔〔〔
Kern came to Los Angeles along with Miles the same year, and Kern was discharged there. He then became a driver for the Los Angeles Ice and Cold Storage Company, rising to the position of a superintendent. He was also a stockholder in the company.〔("Men at Bier of Kern Cry Like Children," ''Los Angeles Times,'' April 28, 1912 )〕〔("Former Chief Kills Himself," ''Los Angeles Times,'' April 21, 1912, page V-25 )〕〔("Ed Kern Denies Connection With Vice Protection," ''Los Angeles Herald,'' August 26, 1909 )〕
In 1906 Kern was described at age 46 as being "a great, broad-shouldered giant, with a grip like a steel vise."〔("Kern to Be Chief by Prompt Action," ''Los Angeles Times,'' November 20, 1906 )〕
