References
- ↑ being among the earliest settlers of Eaton Township
- ↑ From there he removed to Wisconsin, spending two years in Walworth County,
- ↑ 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.
