Martha had to have moved to Marshalltown long before the year 1884, because she was married in 1874 in Marshalltown to Wm. H. Kennedy. This couple also lived in Plymouth County, Iowa, long before the year 1903. Their son W.D. Kennedy married Miss Ida Alderson of Plymouth County in July 1903. There are numerous mentions of the W.H. Kennedy's in the Plymouth County newspapers back in the late 1800s. They did live in the Adrian, MN, area for a time. They also moved to Union County, S.Dakota, which is where they were living when Wm. H. Kennedy died in 1909. Contributor: Ethel Cunningham (47741687)
