Amasa Loren Kenney
Amasa Loren Kenney was born on 9 April 1858 in Fillmore, Millard County, Utah to Loren Edward Kenney and Mary Ann Tucker. Amasa married Cannie Christine/Christena Tullgren in about 1876. Amasa and Cannie had two children, Amasa Axel Kenney, born 9 March 1877, and Cannie Christena Kenney, born 12 January 1879. Amasa's wife, Cannie, died ten days after their daughter's birth. Amasa signed Cannie over to her aunt, but he may have kept Amasa, Jr.

Cannie Christine Tullgren
Cannie Christine Tullgren was born on 16 August 1858 in Spanish Fork, Utah County, Utah to Axel Tullgren and Elena/Ellen Nieson. She was the fourth of seven children. Cannie bore two children and died ten days after giving birth to her namesake Kanney/Cannie. She died on 22 January 1879 and was buried in the Spring City Pioneer Cemetery.
The pioneers established the Spring City Cemetery in 1857 and laid it out in the shape of Utah. Many of the markers were made out of local sandstone and the elements have washed away some of the names and dates. The cemetery was once nearly covered with wooden markers, mostly children's graves. The last burial was in 1910.

The above ancestors were not buried in the Spring City Pioneer Cemetery. I went there to find them and found them to be buried in the main Spring City Cemetery.
