John Kenna was born June 6th, 1821, at Abby Lakes, Queens county, Ireland. His parents emigrated to Ontario, Canada, the same year when he was six months old. He was raised in the parish of Colombo county, Two Mountains, near Ottawa, where in 1848 he was married to Julia Phelan. There were twelve children born to them, three of whom died in infancy. Of the nine who grew to manhood and womanhood only five survive him, being Patrick of Owanka of South Dakota, John of Tacoma, and Daniel of Dundee, Mrs. T. E. Harrington of Oelwein and Mrs. J. J. Maroney on Storm Lake. The deceased's wife died May 2nd, 1891. The deceased spent many years of his early manhood in the lumber business above Stillwater on the St. Croix river. He was the first man to build a dam on Knife river, and he sent the first logs down that river. He and a companion, James Carey, put the first dam on Apple river and John Kenna hewed the logs for both. This was in 1853. He first came to Dubuque in 1849, but returned to Canada where he stayed five years. He returned to Iowa again and located on a farm in Jones county, where he lived until 1865, when he moved to Delaware county and has resided here ever since. The funeral and burial were at Masonville last Friday. Rev Father Murtagh preached the sermon and spoke feelingly and kindly of the deceased, who was a stalwart, upright citizen and true to every relation to life. Manchester Democrat, Manchester, Iowa September 15, 1909
