OBITUARY
JAMES KENNEDY PASSES AWAY
Christian Life of Garfield 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.
     Mr. KENNEDY was known for his Christian ways of living and for the part he 
took in church affairs.  He professed religion in 1833, and united with the 
Cumberland Presbyterian Church at 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.
     The funeral was held Saturday, the interment being at Freedom Cemetery.  
The Reverend J.S.J. Brear, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Freedom, 
preached the funeral sermon, and the remains were buried, at the request of the 
deceased, by the Masonic Order.
