'If I should die tonight' poem
No full textHumorous poem copied by Harrison Kerr and written by Benjamin Franklin King ca. 1890. The poem, titled "If I should die tonight," jokes about money owed to the author and the shock he would experience at being repaid upon his death. It was written as a parody of a serious contemporary poem of the same title.
Harrison Henry Kerr (1839-1901), born in North Georgetown, Ohio, served along with his brother, Ezra, as a private in Company D of the 58th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Chickasaw Bayou, Mississippi, on December 29, 1862., and held for three months before being exchanged and returning to his regiment. He was discharged on January 14, 1865. Following the war, he was married to Elizabeth (Rettig) Kerr. The two lived in Cleveland and had one son, Harrison McKinley Kerr. In 1888, he joined the Memorial Post No. 141, Grand Army of the Republic. He is buried in North Georgetown Cemetery

This is an unusual species that merits more study within the context of a wider review of its closest relatives. For now, I agree with Kallweit that this species fits within the broad concept of <i>Tetragoneura</i> Winnertz, a genus in great need of revision. <i>Novakia distincta</i> Fisher is certainly not contained within <i>Novakia</i> Strobl. This species is hereby transferred to <i>Tetragoneura</i> Winnertz. A replacement name is given because the binomial is preoccupied by <i>Tetragoneura distincta</i> Winnertz 1849, an available name.</p> <p> With transfer of this species, the genus <i>Novakia</i> Strobl is restricted to the Holarctic Region.</p>Published as part of <i>Kerr, Peter H., 2007, Revision of the Holarctic genus Novakia Strobl (Diptera: Mycetophilidae), pp. 27-40 in Zootaxa 1554</i> on page 38, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/178191">10.5281/zenodo.178191</a>
