From a soon to be published book on the Pointe Coupee Artillery (CSA, La.) and Vol. 1 - by Jack Rogers
Kennedy, George Hayes – George H. Kennedy was born in 1833 in Boligee, Greene County, Alabama the son of William Kennedy and Elizabeth MaWhinney. He was a young teen when the family moved to Indiana and then on to Chicago in 1846. He apprenticed in the printing business and in 1853 enrolled in in Jefferson College in Canonsburg, Penn. He was roommate with his fraternity brother, William G. Keady, who later served in the Pointe Coupee Artillery. Keady later said of his friend, “We all remember him, as the amiable, gentlemanly, mathematical man of the class. He could ‘square the circle,’ cross the ‘Pons Asinorum,’ and tell by ‘Conic Sections,’ how two infinities could hug each other and never get together, as quick as the next fellow, and never smile.” He graduated at Jefferson College with distinguished honor becoming the valedictorian of his class. After graduation he taught school two years in Shelby Co., Ky. and then studied law in Chicago, but never practiced law. Before the war he was on the editorial staff of the Chicago Tribune with associations with the editorial departments of the Chicago Times and was later an editor of the Chicago Herald. When war began Kennedy was motivated to serve his country. By Nov. 1861 he was commissioned a captain and assigned to recruiting for Col. James A. Mulligan's Irish Brigade there in Chicago. He formally enlisted in the 65th Illinois Infantry Regiment on Jan. 6, 1862 at Camp Douglas, near Chicago and served as captain of Co. E. Camp Douglas was converted into a prisoner of war facility and Col. Mulligan was commander of the facility. Kennedy was serving as captain in command of the guard at Camp Douglas. They continued recruiting for the Irish Brigade from willing Confederate prisoners at the prison camp.
In April 1862 Kennedy had an encounter with his former college roommate and fraternity brother, now Private William G. Keady, one of many men of Co. B, Pointe Coupee Artillery who were sent to Camp Douglas as prisoners. Private W. G. Keady recalled the scene, "We were not a pretty looking or engaging set of men (though some of us were really handsome) as we stood shivering in ragged ranks on the parade ground. I had lost all my belongings, save the clothing on my back and a piece of lead pencil. When an orderly… was arranging us I asked for some paper, which he furnished, and after scribbling two lines requested him to send it to G. H. Kennedy, who, when one year before I had visited him was city editor of the Herald. In half an hour that parade ground saw a strange sight. Before I was aware, two arms were around me and I found myself in the embrace of a Federal captain. It was such a meeting of the blue and gray as was not common at that date. He was in command of a company of the 65th Illinois regiment, under whose guard we were…" Keady's former college roommate, best friend and fraternity brother and Kennedy’s sister became very helpful in discreetly providing medicines, food and clothing to Keady who passed them on to his comrade Louisiana cannoneers who were in need. The sister of Capt. George H. Kennedy who also helped Private Keady and his comrades when they were in Camp Douglas was likely sixteen year old Catherine “Kate” Kennedy as she was the only sister not married with children at the time.
The four months the men of Co. B, Pointe Coupee Artillery were imprisoned at Camp Douglas, Keady and Capt. Kennedy met and talked almost every day. “We were on the same terms as when we roomed together at college. Yet neither of us did or said the least thing inconsistent with the positions we occupied. Each had too much respect for the other to suggest what would compromise either. He was in no way wanting in his duty as an officer...” Keady continued, “What I needed was supplied in the most delicate and unostentatious manner by him, and so bountifully that many of my more needy comrades were helped. All was done as a seeming matter of course and he seemed really hurt when I would try to express my thanks." The Camp Douglas prison was emptied of its prisoners by Sept. 1862.
In Oct. 1863 Kennedy was assigned to the staff of Brig. Gen. Milo S. Hascall, at that time a division commander. Capt. Kennedy served as Inspector General in Hascall’s Division. Before war’s end Kennedy was promoted to the rank of major.
After the war he was connected with various commercial newspaper enterprises, both in St. Louis and Chicago. He partnered with others to publish the Daily Commercial Report and Market Review which was published in Chicago. In April 1869 Kennedy’s health began to fail.
William G. Keady had marriage plans and hoped to have his former college roommate and fraternity brother, then veteran U. S. Major George H. Kennedy, as his best man. Keady recalled, "When I was on my way to be married, I went round by Chicago to take him as my 'best man' but found him in the grasp (though I did not realize it) of the fatal disease that carried him off a week later. I shall never forget the hungry, clinging look in his eye as I bade him goodbye. I have not yet recovered from the ache in my heart when I heard of his death."
Kennedy died of typhoid pneumonia at his residence in Chicago on April 28, 1869. He had been ill for only 10 days. One of the Chicago newspapers speaking of his death noted, “Major Kennedy was well known in this city. There are few who have met him, but will drop a tear as this announcement is read. Too much cannot be said in honor of him for he was a man in the strictest sense of the word. His faults were very few, his virtues very many.” The Chicago Board of Trade adopted a series of resolutions, expressive of profound regret at the death of George H. Kennedy and of sympathy with his relatives and friends. Kennedy was buried in Rosehill Cemetery and Mausoleum, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. W. G. Keady and his new wife had a son born two years later that he named after his good friend. George Kennedy Keady became editor of the Alabama Beacon in Greensboro, Ala. when he grew up.
