His son and daughter are married and reside in New York. Mr. Kenyon and wife were called here this month by the serious ill ness of his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Howell.

He had been for many years a member of the Union League of New York and other societies. He was a gentleman of great suavity and manners and genial among his companions and acquaintances. His surviving sister will miss his presence. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery, New York.
