Description	:	The death of George Kennebeck, Sr., which we briefly noted last week, removes one of the oldest settlers of the county. The deceased was born in Munster, Germany, in 1820, and in 1855 came to this country, settling in Illinois. There he remained until 1872 when he bought a farm in Roselle township in this county. He spent nearly twenty-two years there in honest toil which was rewarded with reasonable success. Last fall, tiring of the work necessarily devolving upon him while on the farm, he moved to Carroll where he arranged to spend what years still remained to him.... Read More	The death of George Kennebeck, Sr., which we briefly noted last week, removes one of the oldest settlers of the county. The deceased was born in Munster, Germany, in 1820, and in 1855 came to this country, settling in Illinois. There he remained until 1872 when he bought a farm in Roselle township in this county. He spent nearly twenty-two years there in honest toil which was rewarded with reasonable success. Last fall, tiring of the work necessarily devolving upon him while on the farm, he moved to Carroll where he arranged to spend what years still remained to him. It was not thought his end was near for he bore his years lightly, but two days before his death he was stricken with paralysis from which he never recovered. He was buried in the cemetery at Roselle last Friday, the funeral being unusually large. His wife died about twenty-four years ago. The deceased was father of J.W. Kennebeck, clerk of courts of this county, and of George Kennebeck of this city. He leaves also two other sons and two daughters: Henry and Bernard (Julia) of Roselle township, Mrs. Lorenz Hoffman of Roselle, Mrs. George Hoffman of Worthington, Minnesota. He was highly esteemed by his neighbors and all who knew him. Obituary as written and published in the Carroll Herald, February 28, 1894. It has been noted that it contains some errors; the corrections are as follows. George was born Gerhard Heinrich Kernebeck in Epe, Westphalia, Germany to Johan Gerhard and Anna Margaretha (Helling) Kernebeck. He was baptized on Febuary 11, 1821. He came to America in 1851, arriving in New Orleans on the ship Louisiana on May 19. His future wife, Anna Catherina Hommel (also spelled as Homoelle), was also on the ship. They traveled up the Mississippi River and were married in Saint Louis on June 10, 1851. They then settled in McHenry County, Illinois, where they farmed just south of Pistaka Lake in McHenry Township. He became known as George Kennebeck. There were two farms nearby owned by John and Bernard Kennebeck. John and Bernard were believed to be cousins or uncles from Epe. Anna Catherina died in 1870, and George moved his family to Roselle Township in Carroll County, Iowa. In addition to the children named in the obituary, there were also three daughters who died in childhood in McHenry County, Illinois.
