Born on a farm near Greenville, Iowa, Kendall attended the rural schools until the eighth grade.[1] After moving toAlbia, Iowa, he began reading law at age fifteen, and wasadmitted to the bar in 1889.[1] He commenced practice in Albia in 1889. He was Albia city attorney from 1890 to 1892, thenMonroe County Attorney from 1893 to 1897. In 1899, he was elected to theIowa House of Representatives, where he served for ten years and ultimately became Speaker of the House during his last term.

Congress

[edit]

In 1908, Kendall ran as aRepublican for the U.S. House seat for Iowa's 6th congressional district, then held by incumbent one-term DemocratDaniel W. Hamilton. Defeating Hamilton in a close race, Kendall served in theSixty-first Congress, then was re-elected in 1910, serving in theSixty-second Congress. He won the Republican primary in June 1912 over two challengers,[2] but pulled out of the race in August, citing health concerns.[3] In all, he served in Congress from March 4, 1909 to March 3, 1913. After returning from Washington, he resumed the practice of law in Albia.
