From HISTORY OF MITCHELL AND WORTH COUNTIES, IOWA, 1883, Page 596.

Dr. McNenamy located at the town of Northwood, in May, 1875. He had been for some three or four years practicing medicine at Decorah, Winneshiek county, before his advent here, and added a considerable experience to a mind well stored. It is said of him that had he given his whole attention to his profession, a lucrative practice would have been the result. During the year 1876, however, he emigrated from Worth county, going to Austin, Minn.
