    Edward N. Kennedy.
  2. ↑ Edward Kennedy, was a native of Edmeston, Otsego Co., N. Y., of which his father, Andrew Kennedy, was a resident for many years and where he spent the last years of his life. Edward Kennedy grew to manhood in his native town, where he married, and thence removed, in 1829, to Ohio, being among the earliest settlers of Eaton Township. He erected a log cabin amidst the timber and cleared a farm, which he occupied, however, only until 1845. From there he removed to Wisconsin, spending two years in Walworth County, and thence removed, in 1847, to Northern Illinois, where he purchased the tract of land which now constitutes the homestead of our subject. It lies on section 31 and includes 148 acres, which the elder Kennedy converted from the wild prairie into a valuable and fertile farm. The lumber with which the first house was built was transported from Milwaukee and Chicago, and the house when erected was one of the attractive features in that part of the country. The nearest market then for the farmers of Stephenson County was at Galena, where wheat sold at from thirty-seven to forty cents per bushel, and dressed pork at from one and one-half cents to two cents per pound. The elder Kennedy possessed all the elements of the true pioneer and battled with the difficulties incident to building up a home in a new country, until he had obtained a competency, when he retired from the more active labors of life. He was not permitted to become an old man, however, but died in April, 1856.
