OBITUARY
MRS. JOHN KENNEDY
Mrs. KENNEDY, widow of the late Captain John KENNEDY, of Holyrood, passed
away at her home at 5 o'clock last evening, at the advanced age of 90 years.
Her husband predeceased her only a few months ago. The deceased lady was
widely known and respected throughout the district during her long life, and
she leaves behind many friends who will hear with regret of her demise. She
had the consolation during her last days on earth of seeing the most of the
members of her large family of sons and daughters, by whom she was
venerated, and of whom she could feel proud. She was the mother of R.J.
KENNEDY, Govt. Inspector of Railways; Captains Walter, Mike, James and
Thomas, all of whom are well and favorably known, being of the sterling type
of manhood which characterized their forefathers in days past, and who have
been successful in their various callings on land and sea. They mourn the
loss of a good mother, and in their bereavement they have the sympathy of a
large circle of friends, in which the "News" joins.

A Welcome Visitor.
Capt. Walter Kennedy of Holyrood who has been attached to the Royal Naval
Services for the last two years, was in town yesterday on a brief visit, and
returned home by the evening's train. Capt. Kennedy came in by Saturday's
express to Holyrood to spend a couple of days with his family, and leaves
again this week for duties overseas. Capt. 'Walter' is in the pink of
condition, and the strenuous work in which he is engaged apparently only
adds to his 'youth'. That he will be spared to be in it at the close of
the
war with victory is the wish of his hosts of friends throughout the
Dominion.

Evening Telegram February 21, 1921 (Monday)
“In Memoriam. James Kennedy, Holyrood.
It is with very sincere regret we chronicle the demise of James Kennedy of
Holyrood, who died December 28th, 1920, in the 55th year of his age.
Deceased was a hale and hearty man until about a year ago when he was
stricken with a serious illness that combated the best medical skill and
efforts of several physicians either to arrest the fatal germs of disease
or to prolong the man’s life. He was sent to the General Hospital for
special treatment but was returned incurable in August last, after a
month’s treatment. In the hospital and at his home almost to the end hope
was strong within his breast that he would dash death aside for some time
longer at least. But alas a change for the worse set in. Rev. Fr.
Finn
was called, and administered the last sacraments of Holy Church to the
dying man. Not many hours after, in the midst of his immediate relatives,
the soul of James Kennedy passed to its eternal reward.
The funeral took place on the 30th December, from his home to the new
church; and when the funeral service had been read over the deceased, the
procession reformed and proceeded to the new Cemetery where the remains
were laid to rest, all alone, in a new plot. The late Mr. Kennedy was a
hard working industrious and thrifty fisherman who for fifteen years was a
trusted employee of the Promised Land Fisheries Co., Connecticut, and later
served for five years with the Newport Atlantic Fisheries Co., from whose
service he returned home sick in December, 1919. Mr. Kennedy, truly,
inherited his share of the wit and humor inherent in the family. In
company he was entertaining as a story-teller and his fund of fun and humor
appeared unlimited and very much appreciated by his hearers. Doubtless
many a one who gazed on the face of their dear dead friend for the last
time at the wake, and saw those lips sealed and forever still said a silent
prayer for him who could so well shed many a gladsome ray of the sunshine
of laughter and fun around the hearth. He leaves to mourn him: his widow,
Mrs. Ann Kennedy; two daughters - Genevieve, school-teacher at Newtown and
Rose, school-teacher at North Arm; four brothers, Rodger J., Inspector
Government Railways; Capt. Walter, Newfoundland Trade Commissioner, Malaga;
Michael, mate, S.S. ‘W.B. Murray’ Promised Land Fisheries Co.; Thomas,
State Contractor, New York and one sister, Mrs. Peter Hickey, Southside,
Holyrood; to each and all of whom we offer our sincere sympathy, and may
the Lord have mercy on his soul. - COM.”
