Here are my notes for William, from his entry in my family tree file- Rick Waggener:
William Swink Kenner was the fifth of nine children born to his parents, William Bryant Kenne and Mary Malinda Swink. William was born on June 8, 1963, in Ste. Genevieve County, Missouri. William initially lived on his parents farm in Ste. Genevieve County, then in about 1877, moved with them to the area of Festus, in Jefferson County, Missouri. I don't have much information about William. He married Rose J. Bozmen in 1895. I have even less information about Rose. I believe they were married until William's death, and that they did not have any children. William died on July 7, 1913, in St. Louis, Missouri. He is buried in the Gamel or Methodist Cemetery in Festus, Missouri. He apparently was a member of the Woodsman of the World organization, because he has a fairly large headstone with the insignia of this organization. -Rick Waggener
==============
From the book "Genealogy of the Swink Family of Missouri" by Robert A. Swink; The Star-News Publishing Co., Pasadena, California, 1940:
William B. Kenner married and lived happily for a number of years. He died July 8, 1914. The name of his wife is unknown to this writer. He left no issue.

Obituary
William Swink Kenner, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Kenner, was born in Ste. Genevieve Co. Mo., in 1863. He was married to Rose J. Bozman March 16th 1895 at St. Louis. Mo.
He has been a member of the Cristian Church for the past 22 years. Mr. Kenner has been ill for several months, and in spite of the tender care of his wife and friends. He died at his late residence- 4616 Delmar Ave., St Louis Mo., July 8 1913, having lived 50 years, one month and one day.
Two brothers, four sisters, a mother and wife mourn their loss also the Church and the entire community for Mr. Kenner was of a quiet unassuming disposition, devoted to his family and an upright, industrious citizen. The Tri-City-Independent extends to the bereaved family, sympathy in the hour of their affliction and trusts that they may find solace in knowing that God in his infinite wisdom does all things for the best.
