It was there that William Henry Harrison was nomi-- nated for the United States presi-- dency.

Kendall and his father rode many miles on horseback to attend this stirring convention. He came to Waukegan in 1855 and put up at a hotel, which is the present site of the Arlington, where Mr. Ken-- dall, a bachelor, still makes his home. Waukegan Man Attended Whig Convention When Wm.
