Sam Kennedy, New Plymouth Pioneer, Dies

NEW PLYMOUTH - Samuel James Kennedy, 91, a pioneer of the New Plymouth area, 
died Thursday morning in an Ontario hospital after a lengthy illness.

Born March 26, 1876, in Willow Creek near New Plymouth, he lived in this area 
nearly all of his life. For a few years, he worked in the forest near Boise 
when some of the mines of the Boise Basin were still in operation and in the 
forest near Spokane. Mr. Kennedy delivered mail by horseback between Emmett 
and Payette when the Falk Store just east of New Plymouth was a central 
community gathering place. After that, he spent the greater part of his life 
ranching on the family homestead with his father and two brothers, of whom he 
was the last survivor. The ranch is now part of a game refuge.

Surviving are two nieces, Mrs. Harriet Mathews and Mrs. Florence King, both of 
New Plymouth.

Services were conducted at 10 a.m., Saturday at the new Plymouth Shaffer 
Memory chapel by the Rev. Hayden Abel of the First Baptist church. Interment 
followed at the Kennedy-Applegate cemetery northeast of New Plymouth.
