Medina County Gazette - August 8, 1884: Died, July 27th, at the residence of her so, Mr. Samuel Kennedy, of Litchfield, Mrs. Nancy Kennedy, aged 80 years 6 months and 22 days. The deceased, whose maiden name was Steen, was Scotch parentage and was born in Ireland, about three miles from Londonderry, December 28, 1803. At the age of eighteen she with her parents removed to America and settled in the Dominion of Canada. In the year 1826 she was united in marriage to Mr. James Kennedy. By this marriage ten children, five boys and five girls were born to them, eight of whom are still living. In the year 1847 Mr. Kennedy removed with his family to the United States, and settled in the north-west part York township. After the death of Mr. Kennedy, which occured in 1860, Mrs. Kennedy resided on the old homestead until the spring of 1880, since which time she has resided with her son in Litchfield. In early life the deceased made a profession of faith in Christ and uniterd with the Presbyterian church in Ireland. After her removal to Canada she united with the same branch of the church in that county, but on coming to Ohio, there being no church of that order within convenient distance, she did not connect herself with any branch of Christian church. Her aim, however, was always to lead an exemptary Christian life. She bore the sorrow and afflictions of life with remarkable fortitude and patience, and when the final summons came it found her ready "to depart and be with Christ which is far better."
The funeral service was conducted on the 28th by Rev. E. F. Baird using the text the 23rd verse of the first chapter of Phillippans. After the service at the house the remains, followed by a large number of relatives and friends, were laid away in their final resting place in York cemetery.
