J. J. KENNEDY, lumberman, Spencer, commenced business in this place in 1877, and now represents as large lumbering interests as any individual in the place. He has been alone, with the exception of his brother, who was interested in one of his camps last Winter. He put in about eleven million logs last season — on the Oglemon, five million; on the south fork of the Yellow River, four; and on the Eau Plaine, two million. He has Duncan McLennan managing his business for him. Mr. McLennan was born in Canada, Jan. 21, 1846. In 1868 he went to New York, where he gained his knowledge of business, while working for C. C. Petty, a contractor, and, in 1878, came to Spencer and entered the employ of Mr. Kennedy. He belongs to the Temple of Honor, and a member of the I. O. O. F. His mother is now living in Canada; his sister is the wife of his employer.
