	FRANK KINNEY, miller and ginner, Morrison Bluff, Ark.
Among the foreign-born element now in Logan County, those of
German nativity stand in the formest rank as honest, industrious
citizens. Mr. Kinney was born in Germany in 1830, and his parents,
Jasper and Farony (Honel) Kenney, were also natives of that country,
the father born in 1800. Frank Kinney was reared in his native
country and his educational advantages were very good. He there
learned his trade, miller, and in 1856 he sailed for America, where
he expected to make his future home. On March 10, 1862, he enlisted
in the army and was in the fight at Dardanelle, Ark. Mr. Kinney
returned to his occupation of miller after the war, and as he had
all the characteristics of those of German nativity - honesty,
industry and economy - he soon became one of the substantial men
of the county. His mill is worth about $4,000, and he is the owner
of six residences, besides other property. Mr. Kinney was married
on January 1, 1866, to Miss Charlotte Wilcox, daughter of Homer and
Catherine Wilcox. To Mr. and Mrs. Kinney have been born the following
children: Buddy, Frank G., Mary, Charlie, Florence, Lena and Edward,
all living and enjoying good health. Mr. Kinney and his sons are
stanch Democrats in their political views. While Mr. Kinney is a
member of the Christian Church and his wife is a Baptist, the
children are all members of the Methodist Church.
