    Biography:
    LEON KENNEDY, who is operating eighty acres of fine farming land in section 36, Bovina township, is one of the enterprising young agriculturists of this section, where he was born May 3, 1882. He is a son of John and Mary (Stein) Kennedy, the former a native of Canada and the latter of Ohio, who were married in Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in 1870. Mr. Kennedy died in 1907, at the age of seventy-three years and is buried in Bovina Cemetery. John Kennedy enlisted during the Civil War in Company K, One Hundred and Third Regiment, Ohio Volunteer Infantry, in which he served for a year and one-half, being then transferred to the navy, where he completed his service, being mustered out in Kentucky after a meritorious service on the gunboat Merrimac. He was an honored member of the Grand Army of the Republic, under the auspices of which he was buried. During his early life he had been a carpenter, but in his latter years was engaged in farming, an occupation which he was following at the time of his death. He and his wife had a family of four children: Elton, who died at the age of twenty years; Alnetta, who married Howard Andrews of Outagamie county and has five children; James, who married Marie Hinson and has two children, and Leon.
    Leon Kennedy, who has always lived at home with his parents, is operating the property of his mother, who lives on the farm at the age of sixty-one years. He carries on general farming and stockraising, having fifty acres under cultivation, and the land is thoroughly fenced with barbed wire. Mr. Kennedy's father purchased this farm in 1877 and erected all of the buildings, but since his death various improvements have been made. Mr. Kennedy is a member of the F. R. A. and is a republican in politics, at present being a member of the school board. With his mother and wife he is a consistent attendant of the Congregational Church of Ellington. Mr. Kennedy was married in 1905 to Miss Finetta Brooker, who was born February 8, 1883, daughter of Frank and Sarah (Arnen) Brooker, natives of England who were married in Wisconsin and are now living at Minocqua, Vilas county. Mr. Brooker, who is a farmer by occupation, has reached his sixty-eighth year, while Mrs. Brooker, is fifty-one.
