John Kenefick

This man is Kitty Lou's grandfather and Bridget Dohoney's husband. He was born in County Cork, Ireland, on 24 June 1839; he emigrated to America in September 1855 and became a US citizen eleven years later. He must have liked to dance as he used to pay his granddaughter Kitty Lou a penny to dance the Charleston for him. He died at the home of one of his sons in Steubenville, Ohio, on 31 July 1928.
