John Kahny
John Kahny, vegetable gardener of Trautman Station, came here in 1845. His father, Anthony Kahny, born in 1785, came to Cincinnati in 1817, where he lived for twenty-eight years, working for a season at Harkhess' foundry, but gardening most of that time. His first garden extended from Sycamore to Broadway, and from Seventh to Ninth streets. In 1833 he moved to the corner of Wood and Fifth streets, and put up buildings on lots owned. He not only had a garden there, but also at Sixth and Seventh streets, west of Stone street. In 1844 he moved to Delhi, where he continued his former business until 1866, when he died. The mother died in 1875. John Kahny was married in one year after coming here, his wife, Anna Dahner, being a Prussian. He has been for twenty-three years ministerial treasurer of the township.
