HENRY H. KENNEDY, son of Maxwell and Eveline Kennedy, was born in Trumbull
county, Ohio, December 19, 1837. He was reared at his father's home until
twenty-one years of age, when he left Ohio, February 5, 1859, and came, via the
Isthmus, to San Francisco. He proceeded at once to Eureka, where he worked in a
mill, summers, and mined the remainder of the year, until the spring of 1863,
sinking what he made in the mill into a tunnel in the Wahoo diggings near St.
Louis, where he is still interested. In 1863 he went to Oregon, intending to go
to the mines at the head of Columbia river, but taught school instead; and came
back to California in November, 1864. After teaching one term of school in
Sacramento county, he returned to Sierra county in the spring of 1865. In the
fall he went back to Ohio, via Nicaragua, and lived there for nearly ten years.
He was married January 8, 1870, to Miss Clara Harding, who was born in Mahoning
county, Ohio, January 7, 1852, and was the daughter of John A. and Mary J.
Harding. Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy have had four children, as follows: Harding, born
December 28, 1870; Ellis, born September 2, 1873; Laura, born November 27, 1875;
and Clara, October 16, 1881—all now living. In 1875 Mr. Kennedy returned to
California with his family, landing in Truckee, April 15, 1875, and purchased
his beautiful ranch at Goodyear's bar of Jason Campbell, on which he erected, in
April, 1880, their present elegant home, shown on another page. The ranch has
reached a high state of development, and is as desirable a piece of property as
can be found, there being one thousand fruit trees in bearing, and many other
improvements. Mr. Kennedy is a member of Downieville Lodge No. 123, A. O. U. W.
