General Notes: Husband - David Kenly


He was reared on the home farm and received his education in the old subscription schools of his boyhood days. After the death of his father he and his brothers conducted the home for several years, during which time they purchased and added to it two adjoining farms. They then divided the estate and David took for his share one hundred and fifty acres of land which he afterwards sold to the Fairbanks Coal Company. He next (1865) purchased a farm which he owned until his death, and which afterward was successfully conducted by his widow.
He was remarkably successful in business life, accumulated over twenty-five thousand dollars worth of property and never sued any one during his entire lifetime. He was a democrat and a member of the Presbyterian church.
