His parents were William A. Kearney and Emelie Redmond Kearney. At an early age his parents moved to Onarga, Ill., and engaged in farming. It was here that he received his early training. He afterward attended Oberlin College, Oberlin, Oh. After attending college he entered a law office at Ripley, Ia., and took his law examinations at Jefferson, Ia., the county seat, which procedure was the custom in those days. He then moved to Stanton, Neb., and engaged in his chosen profession at that place from 1883-1910, when he moved to Morrill, Neb. to be near his boys who were engaging in the lumber business in Morrill.
He married, October 5, 1883, to Jennie Sarah Manning, of Jefferson, Ia., and to this union were born two sons; Charles M. Kearney and Orlando H. Kearney, both of Morrill. His loving wife preceded him in death by not quite six months, having passed away December 28, 1932. Mr. Kearney's health began failing after the sudden death of his wife.
