KENNEALY FAMILY
Ancestors of the Kennealy family presently in Eagan are descended
from Richard and Catherine (O'Meara) of Ireland, who came to America
in 1846 and 1850, first settling in Illinois and in 1854 coming to St.
Paul, where Richard Kennealy,: was a teamster from St. Paul to Mendota.
He moved to Hennepin county and to Eagan in 1858, where he had 160
acres in Section 32, near the present Zoo site.
His Son Thomas Kennealy farmed 160 acres including part of the
Black Dog village. He was a justice of the peace, school board member,
Dist. #104, and was market master in St. Paul at the time of his death.
He sought the office of county commissioner and state representative.
His son, Thomas E. Kennealy, also farmed on Highway 13 and Cedar avenue
and served on the school board. About 1920, mining of foundry sands
began on the property and continued until recent years by his son,
Joseph W. Kennealy, who engaged in black dirt sales and excavating.
It is on this farm that Indian graves were located and were removed
prior to the Cedar Avenue freeway landfill operation. Apartment houses
and homes are now built on the farm. Joseph Kennealy and his family
live on the property, as did Richard T. Kennealy, who moved recently to
Wisconsin. A sister, Helen Adelmann, also lives in Eagan. Joseph
Kennealy was a member of the Dist. #104 school board when it merged to
form Dist. #191, Burnsville, about 1955. Counterfeit money was
found buried on the property in the 1960's.

Nicols Station was important
to development of the Valley
By DEL STELLING
Last week's action on the part
of the Eagan City Council to
change the designation of Cedar
Avenue to Nicols Road brings to
mind the historical significance
of the latter name to the Min-
nesota Valley area.
Nicols Station, located on the
line of the Chicago,
Northwestern 'Railway at its
junction with Cedar Avenue, was
an important economic and
social link for the residents of not
only Eagan, but also those of the
surrounding area.
Erected before the turn -of -the -
century, the depot at Nicols for
many years was the key to the
outside world for the struggling
pioneer residents of the lower
Minnesota River Valley.
It was here the residents came
to board trains that took them on
shopping excursions to St. Paul
or to social occasions in Savage
and Shakopee, the neighboring
communities to the west.
And it was here the farmers of
the area brought their farm
produce, such as milk, eggs, but-
ter and potatoes, to ship to the
city markets.
In addition, it was to Nicols
Station that merchandise was
sent to stock the country store
that was located west of Cedar
Avenue, a short distance from
the Nicols Station.
This store, operated for years
by the Scott family, was impor-
tant to the area residents for it
was here they were able to
purchase most of their much -
needed household and farm com-
modities.
As with most country stores,
(SUN photo by DEL STELLING)
THE NICOLS STORE, operated for many years by the Scott family,
was located on Cedar Avenue in Eagan, adjacent to the Nicols Sta-
tion of the Chicago, Northwestern Railway. This, no doubt, was
Eagan's first shopping center.
the store at Nicols was no doubt a
meeting place for neighboring
farmers, a place where they
could stop and visit once a week
or so.
The two-story, frame building
was a significant landmark to the
area, one that will live long in the
memories of the older residents
of the area. Truthfully, it was
perhaps the first shopping center
to. serve Eagan and the
neighboring community.
This landmark also brings to
mind the old Berrisford store,
which was the first, or one of the
first, mercantile centers serving
the young community of
Burnsville.
Located on the southwest cor-
ner of what is now County Road
34 and Judicial Road, the store
was operated by John
Berrisford, son of English im-
migrants who had settled among
a concentration of Irish families.
The store was also located ad-
jacent to the large house of
worship of St. John the Baptist
Catholic Church.
Because of this strategic loca-
tion, the store prospered for
many years until the church bur-
ned to the ground in 1902, after
which the church was rebuilt at
Hamilton, now Savage.
After this occurred, a Mr. Gar-
vey, a local school teacher,
purchased the Berrisford store
and moved it to Savage, moving
it overland by means of logs.
Under the new ownership, the
Garvey store prospered for
many years at its new location at
the intersection of Vine Street
and Burns. For some time, the
building also housed the com-
munity's postoffice.
The Garvey store building,
now perhaps more than 90 years
of age, is still standing and
houses a barber shop and car-
peting business.
All of this contributed to the
social and economic life in the
Minnesota Valley area. It was
significant and surely will not be
forgotten.

PICTURED is the Old Black Dog school of 64 years ago which was
located on the present Thos. E. Kennealy place, Hwy. 13, St. Paul.
Bob Allen Sr., secured the picture from Mrs. Susie Zeller (third from
left in the front row) a student at the school at the time. The
school, a frame building, consisted of one room for the eight grades
taught there. Notice the wooden platform entering the school house,
the high top shoes and the bow ties. The school burned in the late
20's or early 30's and the same night another school burned, indicat-
ing somebody probably set fire to the building . Pictured from left
to right in the front row are: William Bradshaw, Marie Bradshaw,
Susan Scott, Mary Wenzel, Paul Wenzel, Albert Wenzel, Joe Ken-
nealy, Elizabeth Barry, Eddie Barry now Rev. George Scott and
William Wenzel. Second row: George Wenzel, Alice Hause, Mayme

Grain threshi `' ; as it was done
59 years ago, pis . epicted in the
above photo btought to the Tri-
bune by Thomas G. Slater of
Eagantown. •
The above scene was taken in
the yard of James Slater who died
in 1941; the farm now is occupied
by Eugene Slater of Eagantown.
Those were the days of big
straw piles and small separators.
The straw was carried from the
separator by an elevator instead
of the present-day 'blower.
It was not possible to identify
all i:he men on the photo. How-
ever, he identified most of the
persons standing; on the ground,
as follows:
Left to right: Henry : -u •e-
ceased), George Scott, Sr., (de-
ceased, woman is unknown but
the baby in her arms now is John
E. Slater, West St. Paul; boy is
James J. Slater, Eagantown; his
father, James Slater (deceased),
boy is now Thomas G. Slater,
Eagantown; man leaning against
water barrel is Pete Small, form-
erly of Mendota. The other men on
the picture are unknown. The boy
sitting on the separator post is
George Scott Jr., now residing near
Fort Snelling.
The separator was hand -fed
and the engine was one of the
first steaii&-power machines to be
used in the county.

Hello all,
I have attached the obituary for Joe Kennealy who passed away earlier this week. If you are
unable to open the notice please let me know and I will send you the details. Unfortunately, we
were not able to record an interview with Joe as we had hoped. If anyone in the group is close to
the Kennealy's and feels comfortable doing so, a request might be made on behalf of the Eagan
Historical Society for any items that the family would wish to share. Joe Kennealy was a life long
resident of Eagan and established a Kennealy Sand Company that is still in operation.
In other news, I have tried to contact Helen Kennedy again without success. She has been
released from the Hospital but they cannot supply information about where she was released to,
without her date of birth, which I do not know. I will keep trying to locate information about her
daughter Roseanne and will update you as I learn more.
I look forward to seeing you all on August 5 at the next meeting.

THE NICOLS STORE, a landmark in the Minnesota Valley area for
years, was located on Cedar Avenue, just north of the Chicago,
Northwestern Railway tracks. The store, one of the few in the area,
was an outlet for groceries, clothing, hardware and other items
which were needed by the farm families in the Burnsville and Eagan
area. The old Nicols station was located a short distance away.

PICTURED is the Old Black Dog school of 64 years ago which was
located on the present Thos. E. Kennelly place, Hwy. 13, St. Paul.
Bob Allen Sr., secured the picture from Mrs. Susie Zeller (third from
left in the front row) a student at the school at the time. The
school, a frame building, consisted of one room for the eight grades
taught there. Notice the wooden platform entering the school house,
the high top shoes and the bow ties. The school burned in the late
20's or early 30's and the same night another school burned, indicat-
ing somebody probably set fire to the building . Pictured from left

The Kenneally/Kennelly/Kennealy/Kenaley family
This history was first prepared in 1975 and is being updated in May, 1997 by Jack Kennelly, great great grandson of Thomas
and Mary Kenneally. Every effort has been made to be accurate. When dealing with this many names and dates, errors do
take place. Please contact me at 157 East Mainzer, West St. Paul, Mn. 55118 or at (612) 455-7736 with corrections or
additions.
Our records indicate that Thomas and Mary Kenneally arrived in Minnesota around 1850 and the
following are their children we are aware of --- James, Richard, Walter, Johanna
(Dunn/O'Connor), Bridget and Michael. We believe they came from a community called
Barnadown, near Hugginstown, County Kilkenny, Ireland. Thomas and Mary settled in Township
27, range 23, section 32 in what is now Eagan, Minnesota, Dakota County.
Thomas born around 1795 (based on his age in the 1860 census) died September 17, 1861, (Dakota County
death records begin with 1870) his will is on file in Dakota County. His wife, Mary was born around
1798 and died September 18, 1876. (Have also seen October 2, 1876 in the Michael Kennelly
family bible.) (Recorded in Dakota County Death Records that she died in Burnsville, Book 1, page 33, 13th entry.)
They are buried in Calvary Cemetery, St. Paul, Minnesota
(Section 8, lot 36. The tombstone says "Dunn", their son-in-law.)

James
1820 or 1829(?) September 6, 1890

Early mentions of the family.
In a biography of their grandson, Thomas Kennealy (1862 - 1936) appearing in the history of
Dakota and Goodhue Counties edited by Franklin Curtiss Wedge, 1910, the following reference is
made to his father Richard. "Richard was a farmer by vocation. He located in Illinois in 1850 and
in 1854 took up residence in St. Paul, where he engaged as a teamster on the route from St. Paul to
Mendota. Then he removed to Hennepin County (Corcoran, Minnesota) and purchased
a farm..." In the booklet, "The First and Early Settlers of Hennepin County" James, Richard and
Walter Keneally/Kanaly are shown in sections 9 and 10 of Corcoran, taking claim as follows:
James - June 19, 1857, Richard - July 6, 1857 and Walter - October 1, 1857. The 1860 Dakota
County Census shows Richard and Walter living on the family farm in Eagan. The history then
goes on to say that in 1858, Richard came to Dakota County where he pre-empted 160 acres in
section 32, where he lived until his death in 1884.
According to the October 25, 1913 newspaper article pertaining to the 50th Wedding of Thomas
Kenaly (the policeman from St. Paul) and his wife Mary, Thomas came to America in June, 1850.
He lived in New York for five years before coming to St. Paul. He entered the United States
through Quebec, Canada. The death notice of Michael Kennelly states he came to New York with
his parents in 1852 and lived there for ten years and then moved to St. Paul.
Spelling of the name.
The original spelling was Kenneally. We have been told to make the mail delivery easier, Walter
dropped the "a" Kennelly and his brother Richard dropped the second "1" becoming Kennealy.
Michael spelled his name Kennelly. The St. Paul family spelled their name Kenaley.

THE ALICE KENNELLY SCOTT FAMILY
Alice Kennelly Scott was the mother of Jim Scott. She died either August 20 or 25, 1889 in Eagan.
According to the death records, she was 70. The tombstone reads 1821 - 1889. This death record
lists her as Alice Kennelly. She holds a key to our link to Ireland. She was the third wife of
Richard Scott. Their only child was "Jim", who later ran a general store near Nicols railroad
station in Eagan. James was born March 28, 1866 and died October 27, 1953. Jim Scott was
Walter Kennelly (who died in 1957) cousin. This would make Alice an aunt or great aunt.
According to the probate records for Jim Scott, this Walter was a first cousin once removed.
Richard Scott (1814 - July 28, 1879) and Alice Kennelly were married October 31, 1864 in St.
Paul. Note - record shows her name as Foley. (Book B, page 261 City of St. Paul marriage
records.) Witnesses were Richard Kennealy and Catherine Foley. His first wife was Mary Cahill,
their two children were Hanora (Allen) and Ellen (Allen). After her death he married Mary
McMahon. She is still alive in the 1860 census. Their children were Mary, Michael, Richard and
Patrick.
Hanora (George Allen) 1836 - May 21, 1921 or 1922 St. John the Baptist, Burnsville, Mn.
Ellen (Michael Allen) 1842- May 1, 1876 St. John the Baptist, Burnsville, Mn.
Mary 1854 1860
Michael June 18, 1856
Richard May 1, 1860 1905 St. Peter's , Mendota, Mn.
Patrick February 23, 1858 February 14,1933 St. Peter's, Mendota, Mn.
James March 28, 1866 October 27, 1953 St. Peter's, Mendota, Mn.
The Irish Kenneally's -- A William Kenneally immigrated to America in 1930 from
Hugginstown, County Kilkenny, Ireland. He was friends and a cousin with "Jim Scott" who
sponsored him. William born September 26, 1902 in Hugginstown, County Kilkenny is listed in
Jim Scott's probate records as a second cousin. William died November 21, 1957 at the age of 55.
He is buried at Calvary Cemetery, St. Paul, Mn. He and his wife Louise had "twin" sons, Walter
and William born in 1957.
Both Joe Kennelly and later his nephew, Jack Kennelly, had the opportunity to meet the Kenneally
families living in Barnadown, near Hugginstown, County Kilkenny, Ireland.
Kenneally's were also living in the neighboring village of Catstown.
From records we have found: A Peter Kenneally, who died February 13, 1880 at the age
of 68 (birth 1812?) in Ireland, lived at Barnadown, County Kilkenny, Ireland. He was a farmer.
His wife was Bridget (died February 22, 1888) and they had one son David (who died April 10,
1919 at the age of 83) daughters Johanna and Bridget. David and his wife Johanna had four sons -
Peter born in 1894, Patrick, born in 1896, Jimmy born in 1898 and William born in 1902. It is
William who came to Minnesota in 1930 and was sponsored by Jim Scott, whose mother was
Alice Kennelly. This seems to provide a link between Jim Scott and the family in Ireland.
Indications are that Peter Kenneally, who died in 1880 was the brother of Thomas Kenneally who
came to Minnesota and died in 1863.
