Kennee, Mr.

1857                Address Unknown, Newbury, Vermont.

1857 November 7.  American Traveller.  (Boston, Massachusetts.)  November 7, 1857, Vol. XIX, No. 34, P. 4.

An Artistical Fight.—The little village of Newbury, Vermont, was frightened from its propriety, on Wednesday last, by an affray between the rival Daguerreotypist.  It seems that Mr. Kynnee (sic.) pitched his tent or saloon, along side of Mr. Pepperson’s, and neither of them having any heads to “take off,” began incontinently to punch each other.  Both parties left the field with eyes blackened by knuckles instead of nitrate of silver, and it is rumored that each will exhibit a pugilistic photograph of himself.  We doubt not that the students of Newbury Seminary will derive great benefit from these pictures, which will finely illustrate “light and shade.” 

1857 November 13.  Bennington Banner.  (Bennington, Vermont.)  November 13, 1857, Vol. XVII, No. 37, Whole No. 869, P. 3.
