Bob Kerr rose from World War I service to political power in Oklahoma by supporting New Deal allies and leading Republican campaigns. He helped elect FE W Mar land as governor, then Leon C. Postiss, and led a third term shift after breaking with Roosevelt’s policies. A lawyer and oil executive, Kerr built the Kerlyn Oil Company, chaired Mid-Continent Oil & Gas Association, and held civic roles with Red Cross and YMCA. He married Grayce Breene after a lengthy courtship and had four children, including Kay and Bill.
