General Notes: Husband - George W. Kenney

---

He was reared on the home farm. He received his education in the common and academic schools and took the full commercial course of Oberlin Business college, Ohio. He entered into active life for himself as a clerk in the store of L. B. Highberger at Penn station. His services were next engaged by Keck, Kenney & Co. of Penn station and Livermore. After the dissolution of this firm he went to Pittsburgh and acted for several years as a traveling salesman for R. C. Orr & Co., wholesale grocers of that city. In 1883 he entered into a mercantile partnership with his father at New Alexandria under the firm name of T. A. Kenney & Son.
George W. Kenney was an aggressive democrat who believed in no half-way political measures, and who was always an active worker for the success of democratic principles. He served during Cleveland's administration as assistant post-master of New Alexandria under his father who was postmaster during that period of time. He was also interested deeply in educational matters, and served multiple terms as school director. He was a member of the Presbyterian church at New Alexandria.
