The man who is probably best known per-
sonally and by name to the Mexican veterans
throughout the country is Alexander M. Kena-
day, the general secretary, who practically
founded the association and has directed its
efforts. Mr.. kenaday was born in Wheeling in
1924, learned the art Of printing in the Office of
the Missouri Republican, then went to the
Jesuit college in st. Louis and, completed his
education on a steam boat commanded by his
father, which ran on the western and southern
rivers. While type sticking in New Orleans
during interlude in his steam boat expert
ences news was received of Gen. Taylor's being
cut off from Fort Brown. A drum and fife aroused
young kenadays patriotism and he joined the
first company Of volunteers accepted by Gov.
Johnson in response to Gen. Gaines call for
troops. His company was subsequently at
tached as company b. to Col. Sam Marks
regiment. known as the Andrew Jackson regi-
ment. and spent three months near Matamoras,
Mexico. The regiment returned to New Orleans
in August. 1916. and was disbanded. Mr.. Kena-
day then Joined the third dragons. raised by
Capt Jack Duperu, and returning to Mexico par
ticipated as a sergeant in his company in almost
daily scrimmages with the enemy. His COM
pany being attached to Gen. Worth's command
he took part in the famous battles around the
City OF Mexico. At the battle of Cherubusco
Sergeant Kenaday and four of his comrades
distinguished themselves by their prompt
bravery in leaping into and unloading a huge
Mexican ammunition wagon which was on fire,
ana stood IN the road SO as to check the ad-
vance of Gems. Worth and Pellow and their
stats. They took out package after package
Of cartridges that were getting SO hot that it
was difficult to handle them and threw them
into ditch. After the surrender of the City
of Mexico Sergeant Kenaday, being furloughed,
served for time an attache of the American
Star newspaper in that city. After peace was
established Mr.. Kenaday returned to New
Orleans and then was attracted by the gold ex-
element to California, and after many vicissi-
tudes as a prospector settled down to the case
as a printer and became in course of time
prominently identified with the typographical
unions and for a time published journal in
their interest. 1t was while in California that
he took the lead in the active measure that re-
suited in the organization of the associated
veterans of 1916, and it was as their delegate
that he came to this city in 1868. Since then
he has made his residence here, having been
engaged in advancing the interests of the as
