General Notes

The sponsor of her baptism was Thomas Balfe and Catherine Currin. Eliza was 5 when she was baptized on Mar. 14, 1849.  This birth date conflicts with census date.

Eliza and Richard came to Wisconsin along with brothers, Bartholomew, Edward, James and sister Anna.  After the fire in 1871 when they lost everything, they moved to Iowa with her brother's and father, Edward Lovely.
Burial records show her name as Elizabeth--Sec 3  Block 4  Lot 22, at Holy Sepulchre cemetery, Omaha, NE.
Died at  age 65, Sacred Heart Parish.  I saw that her middle name was A. in a census.    I did see in a Washington Township, Arcadia, Caroll County IA report, that her middle name was L.

I have been preparing family stories on certian individuals.  Here is what I wrote on Elza Lovely:

Eliza Lovely
Eliza Lovely was born June 14, 1842 in Leeds, Ontario, Canada .  Her father, Edward Lovely was an Irish immigrant that came to Canada in the 1820's.  The Lovely family met the Kennys in the early 1850's while living in South Elmsley, Ontario, which present day is called Smith Falls.
While in Smith Falls, Richard Kenny met Edwards daughter, Elizabeth (went by Eliza Lovely).
Richard's fathers name was Thomas Kenny.
Richard and Eliza married in Smith Falls on Feb. 27, 1865.  They named their first child Thomas F. Kenny, who was born June 16th, 1865. woopsie!!
Around 1869, Richard, Eliza and their first 3 of 10 children, Thomas, Mary Ann, and William (died at about 10yrs.) moved to Sturgeon Bay, Door County, Wisconsin, where other brothers and a sister had settled.  This siblings that were there were Edward, Bartholomew, James and Anne Kenny.
Tragedy hit in the fall of 1871 though. http://members.cox.net/jakenny/_private/Links/great_fire_of_1871_.htm
As you may have read as a child about the Great Fire of 1871 in Chicago, well, the day before the Chicago fire, their was a larger fire which consumed much of Michigan and Wisconsin.
In this fire, Richard and Eliza lost all of their belongings, farm building and crops.  After the fire, Bartholomew left the area, This is where I lost track of Bartholomew, and Richard and Eliza also left to join Eliza's father and family who had moved to Arcadia, Carroll County, Iowa.
They stayed with Edward Lovely for a while till Richard got things together, and Richard and Eliza signed their deed to their own land in Arcadia on Nov. 25, 1873, where they bought 80 acres, 4-5 miles due south of Arcadia, for $640.00, then 40 more on May 14, 1874 for $320.00.  In 1890 they sold it all and moved to Omaha, which Omaha was only about 35 years old.
Eliza died on June 13, 1910 in Omaha.  Richard lived till Jan 11, 1916. Their 10 children were:  Thomas, Mary Anne, William, Richard, Ellen and Bridget (twins), Edward, Elizabeth, Michael and William.
