CLAUDE CLEMENT KENNEDY, M. D.
For a period of eleven years Dr. Claude Clement Kennedy has engaged in the
practice of surgery in Minneapolis and the exercise of his skill and ability has
led to the growth of his powers until his position is a most creditable one. He
is a native son of this city, born November 28, 1884, his parents being William
T. and Anna E. (Shaw) Kennedy. The father's birth occurred in Nova Scotia, while
the mother is a native of Pennsylvania, both being of Scotch descent. The
mother's ancestral line is traced back to Daniel Shaw, who came to the new world
on the Mayflower. Repre­sentatives of the family have since figured prominently
in various sections of the country in which they have lived. It was in the year
1880 that William T. Kennedy brought his family to Minneapolis and here he
engaged in business as a sawmill operator and lumberman. He and his wife
afterward removed to Wenatchee, Washing­ton, where they now reside.
Claude Clement Kennedy was educated in the public schools of Minneapolis and
pursued his professional training in Marquette University at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, where he was graduated with the M. D. degree in 1911. He then
returned to Minneap­olis, where he began practice in the same year, and here he
has continued throughout the intervening period. He is serving on the Swedish
Hospital surgical staff and he has won a large private practice which makes
heavy demands upon his time and energies. He is keenly interested in everything
that tends to bring to man the key to the complex mystery which we call life and
has carried his investigations far and wide into the realm of medical and
surgical science.
On the 29th of June, 1915, Dr. Kennedy was married to Miss Edythe Tennyson of
this city and they have one daughter, Jane Ann. Dr. Kennedy belongs to the
Min­neapolis Automobile Club and along strictly professional lines is connected
with the Hennepin County Medical Society, the Minnesota State Medical Society
and the Amer­ican Medical Association. His forcefulness and capability are
widely recognized among his fellow members, of the profession, who speak of him
in terms of warm regard.
