Notes
a. Note:   Genevieve Kenner, known most of her life as Kate, was the youngest of nine children born to her parents William Bryant and Mary Malinda (Swink) Kenner. She was almost seven years younger than her next oldest sibling. She was born in Jefferson County, Missouri on October. She was probably born and certainly grew up in her parents home on Kenner's Hill, which is actually just north of Festus. Festus actually didn't become a town until a year of two after Kate's birth. In about 1908, Kate married Charles A. Baker. They reportedly lived for a while in Pennsylvania. One child was born to this marriage, a daughter Mary. Apparently the marriage did not last long and they divorced and Kate and Mary returned to live in her parent's home on Kenner's Hill. Apparently she lived there with a couple of her brothers until at least the early 1920's, and later moved to Festus. She never remarried, and lived the rest of her life in the area. She died in a nearby nursing home on February 28, 1958. -Rick Waggener ============= From the book "Genealogy of the Swink Family of Missouri" by Robert A. Swink; The Star-News Publishing Co., Pasadena, California, 1940: Kate Kenner married Charles A. Baker and lived for a time in Pennsylvania. Charles A. Baker died, date unknown. She now lives in Festus, Missouri. ============== From the 1880 Federal Census of Joachim Township, Jefferson County, Missouri, district 192, page 27/ 73C, taken June 18, 1880, household #244; from ancestry.com, image 27 of 60.

It is dated July 3rd, 1918, and involves the sale of a 1.5 acre of property by "Ida J. Sherlock, a widow of the City of St. Louis, Mo., William A. Gamel and Emma his wife of the City of Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri, Jessie D. Waggener and Anna E. Waggener his wife of the city of Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri, Genevieve Baker, a single woman and Mary Kenner, widow of William B. Kenner, deceased, of the City of Festus, Jefferson County, Missouri" to "R. W. Wills and Ida E. Wills his wife of the County of Jefferson in the State of Missouri." The selling price was $750. The plot of land was in Township 40, Range Six, East, and I believe it was on Kenner Hill just adjacent to the property where the Kenner house was. There is an easement included in the property for what was apparently the roadway or driveway leading to what was the Kenner house and property on the hill. The Kenners were allowed access on the roadway. It looks like it was just off of what is now North Mill Road. The description of the property mentions that it was adjacent to a piece of property previously owned by Mary Swink Kenner's brother John Edwin Swink and his wife Mariah, which they had sold in 1905. Jesse and Anna Waggener were actually in Detroit, Michigan by this time, and trier names were signed by a Notary Public. I am not sure why Thomas and George Kenner are not included in this document. - RW ============= From the 1920 Federal Census of Jefferson County, Missouri, Joachim Township, Hermatite Village, taken January 27, 1920, district 33, sheet 16A, household 319; from ancestry.com, image 31 of 34.
