Pioneer Dies Monday At Daughter's Home

Robert F. Kennedy, a well known pioneer of Payette valley, died Monday at the 
home of his daughter, Mrs. John Hill near New Plymouth. A funeral largely 
attended by many of his friends of the early days was held in New Plymouth 
Baptist church Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. F. Knight. Burial was 
in the little cemetery east of New Plymouth, which bears his name and in a 
vault which he prepared several years ago.

Mr. Kennedy was born in Strangford, Ireland, Nov. 5, 1945. He married Harriet 
Thiel, Aug. 12, 1872 and sailed for America one month later. He stopped for a 
few days with A. J. McFarland on his way to Oregon where he pitched his tent. 
They soon returned to Idaho, however, where they made their home.

Four children survive Mr. Kennedy. They are Mrs. John Hill, Robert, Samuel and 
Hugh Kennedy. He leaves also three grand children. Mrs. Dale May, Mrs. Juan 
May and Mrs. Ira Matthews and four great grandchildren.

Mrs. Kennedy died when her eldest was 6 years old.
