Kinney, Lucius, farmer, is an elder brother of the above (Wesley Kinney).
His parents lived during the year 1833 on a farm in Georgetown, Madison
county, and Lucius Kinney was born there on September 27. He was reared on
the home farm in Otselic, and received a common school education. January
9, 1854, he was married, the bride being Miss Lydia Bishop, a native of
Otselic. Her parents, John and Lydia Bishop, were of New Hampshire birth.
Mr. Kinney came to Minnesota in 1856, arriving in Mazeppa September 3, and
took up government land in Zumbrota township. A year later he sold out and
went back to New York. For sixteen years he engaged in farming there, most
of the time on his father's homestead, and again took up a residence in
Minnesota. After a stay of two years in Lake City, he bought a farm of
seventy acres of land near Mazeppa, in Goodhue county, and has ever since
dwelt in this village and tilled the land. Mr. Kinney has always had a
horror of debt, and went without many things desired rather than violate
his cash rule. He has always been a democrat. Himself and wife joined the
Methodist Episcopal church many years ago. They have two sons. The elder,
Frank Clinton, born June 29, 1856, resides in Smyrna, New York, where he
married Miss Catharine Wentworth. John Wesley, March 30, 1860, dwells with
parents.
