R.W. Kennedy Expired Suddenly at His Saw Mill Thursday.  Was in Apparent Good 
Health.
Mr. Robert W. Kennedy, a former citizen of Dawson, but for the past year or 
two a resident of Bronwood, died suddenly at this saw mill in Lee county 
Thursday morning about 10 o'clock.  Mr. Kennedy was in apparent good health, 
and his death was a shock to his family and friends.  He was attending to his 
affiars around the mill Thursday morning as usual, and had just pushed up the 
fire in the slab pit and stepped into the shade of a tree when death struck 
him.  He fell to the ground and died almost instantly.  His remains were 
brought to his home in Bronwood, and from there were buried in the cemetery at 
Chickasawhatchee church, near Dawson, Friday afternoon after appropriate and 
impressive services by Elders R.H. Jennings and W.T. Everett.  Mr. Kennedy was 
48 years of age, and is survivied by a wife and five children.  He was a 
consistent member of the Primitive Baptist church, and his entire life was one 
that won for him the esteem and respect of every one.  For many years he was 
yard foreman for the Variety Works Company in Dawson, and had many friends 
there and elsewhere who sincerely regret his death.
