Frank Kennedy
History of the State of Montana, by Joaquim Miller, 1894 

Frank Kennedy, a member of the mercantile firm of King and 
Kennedy, Anaconda, Montana, is one of the enterprising 
businessmen in this section of the country. At their stand on 
Main Street, this firm carries a full line of books, 
stationery, cigars, tobacco, the leading daily newspapers and 
all kinds of notions. 

Mr. Kennedy is thoroughly an American. He traces his ancestry 
to this country back to 1810. His father, Samuel H. 
Kennedy, was a prosperous western produce dealer and was 
located in New Orleans for many years prior to the War between
the States. In New Orleans in 1852, Frank Kennedy was born, the 
fourth child in his father's family, and in that city
he began attending school. When foreboding of the Civil War was 
heard throughout the country, Mr. Kennedy sailed with
his family to Europe, in order to avoid the threatened dangers. 
For six years he remained in the old country, and 
during this time Frank continued his studies and prepared 
himself for a business life. After the war closed the family
returned to New Orleans and there our subject and his father 
engaged extensively and very successfully in the western 
produce and cotton business. Mr. S.H. Kennedy was President of 
the State National Bank for many years. 

It was in 1887 that Frank Kennedy came to Montana. He filled a 
clerical position with the Anaconda Smelting Company 
until he purchased Mr. Crockett's interest in the mercantile 
business, in which he has since been actively engaged. 

Mr. Kennedy was married in 1889 to Lotta Ellenbecker, a native 
of Michigan and they have two children, Horton and 
Eleanor. Fraternally, he is a Master Mason and a member of 
Acadia Lodge, No. 33, F. & A.M. Anaconda.
