Name: Kenny, Frank
Born: 1878
Died or Buried: 1909
Buried: Iron River Cemetery
Section: 7, lot 10
County/State: Iron, MI
Notes:
LOCATION: This cemetery is located within the city limits of Iron River at the intersection of River Avenue and
Hunter Road. It is about 1/4 mile directly north of the Iron County Armory.
RECORDS: Records for this cemetery are kept on file with the Iron River City Clerk. She can be contacted at
(906) 265-4719. Also on file with the City Clerk are Burial Transit Permits for some individuals buried here
which give exact death date, location, and cause of death, going back as far as 1946. It should be noted
that a good number of graves in this cemetery are marked unknown. Apparently someone is buried in
these spaces, but there is nothing to indicate WHO the person is. What you find recorded here is a
combination of what the city had on record, along with information gathered after carefully inspecting each
tombstone. All spellings appear here as they were on the tombstone.
HISTORY: The village of Iron River was platted in 1881 when the area began to be settled, based around the
mining of iron ore. In 1903 $150 was put up for the purpose of establishing a cemetery (although there are
burials prior to that date). Many of the founding fathers and early settlers of the community are buried here.
Recent burials have been rare
less than 5 a year in this century.
