Kendrick N. came to the Hawkeye State in 1869, and located in Lee county, where he was engaged in farming about two years, when he came to Cass county, and settled in Washington township. He was there engaged in farming until 1874, when he came to Cass township, and purchased a farm, which is now owned by Oliver Mills. In 1879 he sold his farm, and moved to Lewis, but not liking the town as well as his farm life, he moved on a farm owned and improved by Jacob McClain, on section 25, which he bought, and has since made it his home.

They have had two children...Fremont C., born in 1857, now resides in this township; and Ella, born in 1868.
