742	ay Kenner, merchant, Flora, Ill., is a son of Alvan R. Kenner and Mary (Willis) Kenner, and was born in Albion, Edwards Co.. Ill., April 1, 1844. He came to Flora, Clay County, with his father's family in 1858. In the latter part of 1863, he enlisted as a private soldier in Company K, Forty-eighth Illinois Regiment, from which he was discharged at Springfield, September, 1865. He was mustered out with the com mission of First Lieutentaut of his company, having proven himself a good soldier and a competent and faithful officer. He participated in a great portion of the most earnest service of the war, was in the engagement at Chattanooga, siege of Atlanta and the Atlanta campaign, and was with Gen. Sherman on his memorable march to the sea. He is a practical business man, having had an extensive experience in mercantile life. He now controls an extensive house on the corner of Main street and North avenue, carrying a $10,000 stock of general goods, including a complete stock of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes. While Flora is favored with a number of deserving merchants, we believe none are more deserving than Mr. Jay Kenner, and a casual survey of his stock is all that is necessary to convince one that he possesses the business ability to anticipate and supply the wants of the public. He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Christian Church. Excerpt from "History of Wayne and Clay Counties, Illinois 1884 "	Kenner, Jehu (I28838)

ay Kenner, merchant, Flora, Ill., is a son of Alvan R. Kenner and Mary (Willis) Kenner, and was born in Albion, Edwards Co.. Ill., April 1, 1844. He came to Flora, Clay County, with his father's family in 1858.

In the latter part of 1863, he enlisted as a private soldier in Company K, Forty-eighth Illinois Regiment, from which he was discharged at Springfield, September, 1865. He was mustered out with the com mission of First Lieutentaut of his company, having proven himself a good soldier and a competent and faithful officer. He participated in a great portion of the most earnest service of the war, was in the engagement at Chattanooga, siege of Atlanta and the Atlanta campaign, and was with Gen. Sherman on his memorable march to the sea.

He is a practical business man, having had an extensive experience in mercantile life. He now controls an extensive house on the corner of Main street and North avenue, carrying a $10,000 stock of general goods, including a complete stock of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes. While Flora is favored with a number of deserving merchants, we believe none are more deserving than Mr. Jay Kenner, and a casual survey of his stock is all that is necessary to convince one that he possesses the business ability to anticipate and supply the wants of the public.

He is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic and of the Christian Church.
