NEWFANE
Death Of sIIas N. Kenny.

Silas y. Kenny. i6, who died Friday
morning, was born in Newfane oct I,
1868. the second son of Henry S and
Rosetta a. Gkidder) Kenny IL. S.
Kenny died i'm 1898. Silas was descend
ed from some Of Newfane's earliest set
tiers. Deacon Moses and Azubah Kenny,
who came from Northboro and sudbury
in 1774 and Marshall ana Lydia Newton,
who removed to Newfaue from Shrews-
bury, Mass. ana cleared their farm.
Deacon Kenny cleared 1000 acres Of
dense forest into valuable acres, leaving
a large estate to a large family. His
son. Silas, grandfather Of the deceased,
lived on the Kenny road farm over
three fourths of a century. lie was
captain of cavalry which, on training
days in those times, rode two abreast
on stone wall six feet wide and 20 rods
long near the family home, built partly
by men who were sent to the county
Jail on the hill crest for debt according
to custom of the time. Remains of the
wall are yet in evidence. Afterward
Captain Kenny raised a company of 100
tall and stalwart riflemen who were the
pride of Newfane and ranked first in
the state for attractive appearance and
training.
Silas ~ possessed ancestral traits
which in early settlers gave their towns
good reports. Always thrifty, practical
and Industrious, ne was in his later
years public spirited. a keen, though
quiet. observer of wide affairs and on
the right side of business questions
calling for good sense, sound judgment
and intelligence. Whenever he accepted
public trusts he was a valuable man in
their performance. Among such duties
may be mentioned his interest in the old
burying ground on Newfane nil. where
early settlers and others We're buried
and to which he gave freely of his time
as long and as far as his strength al

first afternoon was a beautiful and
wonderful drive, The road soon en-
ters the Gardiner Canyon, following
along the beautiful Gardiner river"
over II of the most attractive drives
in the park. We passed Eagle Nest
Rock (there were actually young
eaglets in the nest). The cliffs
rise fully 800 feet in heighth above
the road. \ few miles further on we
came to Fort Yellowstone, a United
States cavalry post, whose command

National Park. During the sum
mer months there are many smaller
posts established throughout the park
for its protection. The Mammoth ho-
tel is situated here. We soon came

extinct hot spring. 1t is fifty-two
feet high and twenty feet in diameter

Devils Slide, and at noon we arriv-

a thriving town, a supply point for
the mining camps in the vicinity, and
an outfitting place for hunting and
camping parties. The unique log

We were amply repaid for our walk,
as we also got 10 view the Orange
Geyser, whose eoloring is so beauti-
full. But we must go on. We passed
Silver Gate, a white cliff with seem
ingly a pass left on purpose for Il
road. Then the "Hoodoos,' or Hoo
doc Rocks, Il wild strange region
covering an area of one square mile.
The government rOad skirts two
sides of this strange canyon. Then
on to Golden Gate which is one of
the most picturesque points in the
park 1t is a rugged pass between
two mountain peaks. The sides of
these rocky walls rise from 200 to
800 feet above the roadway and are
covered with yellow moss. hence the
name, Golden.
The pillar at the east entrance is
twelve feet high and was originally
part of the canyon wall. The build
ing of this road and yiaduct was a
very difficult undertaking. We fol-
lowed the Gardiner river o few miles
further. passing Swan lake, a beauti-
full body of water and a part of the
petrified forest. We saw one old
Monarch two feet in diameter and
thirty feet high; two branches all
gone by the action of the elements.
The cook and baggage wagons had

a beautiful primeval forest. which
looked as if the foot of man had
never been there, we came to a place
