General Notes

There seems to be a conflict where she was born.  The census states her birth in Pennsylvania, while the below obit states Manitowoc Co. WI

Her obit  was in the Door County Democrat, April 25th 1896.  It stated:

"Death of Mrs. Edward Kenny (spelled this way)
Mrs. Edward Kenny died at her home, in the town of Nasewaupee, from childbirth, on Saturday, April 10th 1896, just one week from the beginning of her illness.  Her friends attendant upon her had no apprehension of danger, until the evening before her death, when her condition suddenly changed for the worse, and although the attendant physician was immediately called, and did everything possible he could do to help her-such was not to be.
Her disposition was of a kind and cheerful nature, her smiling face, was a true index of her inner life.  Liberal, warm hearted, kind and generous; she was a model mother, and a genial companion.
Not for years, has death cause such profound and general sorrow in our parish.  Her children have lost a kind and tender-hearted and affectionate mother, her husband a loyal and devoted wife, the neighbors a sympathetic and helping friend in time of trouble-and withdrawal; such is the will of God.
Deceased was born in Manitowoc Co., and when a small child removed with her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. John Mulvihill, to the old homestead in the town of Nasewaupee.  At 22 years of age, she married Edward Kenny, on the 8th day of Sept., 1879, in the city of Sturgeon Bay, Rev. Englebert Blume officiating.  She was 38 years of age at the time of her death.  The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved husband and family.
The funeral took place on the 20th last, and considering the state of the weather, was one of the largest ever held here.  The pastor of the catholic church of Ahnapee performed the last sad rights, with a High Mass-ably assisted by the Forestville catholic choir.  may her soul rest in peace."

"Sturgeon Bay and Vicinity"
The funeral of Mrs. Kinney, of Forestville, took place Monday. Mrs. Kinney leaves a husband, who is chairman of the town board, and  nine children.

Many documents were given to me by Christine Surfus on this person.
