“KENNY.—On May 11, 1892, at Balla McKenny, Colton, Michael Kenny, eldest son of the late John Daniel Kenny, in the 83rd year of his age; a colonist of fifty years. R.I.P.” [Southern Cross 20 May 1892]
“Mr. Kenny had reached the ripe old age of eighty-three, having been born at Six-Mile Bridge, County Clare, Ireland, on December 24, 1809. Mr. Kenny was the son of a tenant farmer, whose descendants had resided there as far back as there is any traditional account. Mr. Kenny was well known in connection with every movement in favor of the right of the tenant farmers in Ireland. . . [He] sailed out of Cork Harbor on November 5, 1841, in the ship Branken Moor, of London, commanded by Captain David Smith, Dr. Hughy, surgeon, and a full complement of immigrants, and landed in Launceston on April 6, 1842. After a short stay in Tasmania Mr. Kenny came to South Australia, and settled at Morphett Vale, when he married the widow of Daniel Herreen, who survives him. There are also four sons and one daughter living. One son is one of the leading hotel keepers in Broken Hill, the other three are farmers and graziers in this district, and the daughter is married to Mr. Thos. P. Cash. . . Mr. Kenny resided in Morphet Vale for several years, when he and the late Mr. Ignatius O'Sullivan were the chief movers in building the Catholic Church there. . . Mr Kenny removed to Sheaoak Log in 1855, where he was closely connected with Church matters at Gawler and Greenock. When he moved to Yorke's Peninsula he strongly advocated building a church at Yorketown and Warooka, and he saw both successfully built. It was chiefly through his exertion that the church was built and opened free of debt in Colton. . . On May 17, 1865, he and other well-known farmers formed the Light Farmers' Club at Freeling. . . When the Areas came out he was one of the first to leave for Southern Yorke's Peninsula, where he selected land in May, 1870. He was a member of the first District Council in Southern Yorke's Peninsula, and after the lapse of a few years his farm became too small for his grown-up family, so, when the Hundred of Colton was first offered, he and his sons, selected land there in September, 1876.” [Southern Cross 20 May 1892]
