- MARTIN KEHOE, born in Ireland in 1836; came to Rockford,
Ill., in 1858, where he remained
- five months engaged in the shoe business; he then went to
Janesville, Wis., and remained nine months, then came to Beloit,
in 1871, and started business as a wholesale dealer in domestic
and imported wines, liquors and brandies; Mr. K. has always made
it a point to obtain his supplies direct from first hands, thereby
insuring to his patrons pure, unadulterated goods of the very
best quality; his fine Bourbon sour-mash whiskies are bought
directly from Kentucky distillers, and his wines and brandies
are bought in New York City, directly from the importers; he
carries in stock a fine line of Hennessey Brandies, unequaled
by any other; also a line of wines, liquors and imported cigars.
His place of business is located on State street, near Broad.
He married, in 1863, Miss Mary KELLY, a native of New York;
they had ten children, eight now living.
