JAMES KENNEDY PASSES AWAY
Christian Life of Garfied Citizen Ends at Age of Eighty-Nine

James Kennedy, a well known and respected citizen of the Garfield neighborhood, died last Thursday at the age of eighty-nine.

On October 10, 1857, he moved his membership from Pleasant Grove to Freedom. He was a ruling elder in the church at Freedom until his death and he and his work there will be greatly missed. He lived a pious, Christian life and had great love for church and his family and neighbors.
Of a large family of children reared by Mr. Kennedy, seven survive to mourn his loss.
Mr. Kennedy was a Mason and one of the best of the order. As a citizen, a Mason and a Christian he led an excellent life.
