HORACE C. JENNE, farmer, section 5, Dayton Township, is a son of Joseph H. and 
Saloma (Knight) Jenne, who 

were natives of Massachusetts and afterward settled in New York.  He was born 
in the latter State, June 6, 

1830.  At the age of 10 years he went to live with a relative, and remained 
until he was 18 year of age, 

being employed the most of this time on the Erie Canal.  He came to Michigan 
in the fall of 1855, and the 

following winter lived in Allegan County.  He came to this county in the 
spring of 1856 and bought 160 

acres of land in Dayton Township.  He now owns a farm of 65 acres, 35 of which 
are well improved.

He was married in New York, in August, 1851, to Amelia Jones, who was a native 
of that State, and they 

have one child, John H., who is now a resident of Muskegon.  Nov. 2, 1863, he 
enlisted in the 4th Mich. 

Cav., and served nearly two years, receiving his discharge at Nashville, 
Tenn.  He was with Gen. Wilson in 

his cavalry raid from Nashville to Macon, Ga., is a member of J.A. Dix Post,
