Unfortunately, I didn't find Kenny until after his passing and I'm sorry I never got to meet him. He and I would be third cousins. I have started a private Facebook group for our family history and I came upon this obituary while I was researching. If anyone else in the family is interested, the group is called "The Descendants of Reuben Tow and Rebecca Conner." We would be happy to have you.
