DIED:
Kennedy -- At the family home, on the T. J. Reeves farm, northwest of Akron,
in Union County, S.D., Friday, February 12, 1909, William H. Kennedy, aged
55 years, 9 months and 8 days

Upon returning from a visit at LeMars about nine weeks ago Mr. Kennedy
suffered an attack of bronchial pneumonia. He was making satisfactory
recovery, when complications of kidney, liver and stomach trouble ensued,
finally culminating in inflammation of the bowels, which was the direct
cause of death. Mr. Kennedy made heroic resistance, aided by the best of
medical attention and the untiring ministrations of loved ones, against the
besetting afflictions.

William Henry Kennedy was born at Granby, Canada, May 4, 1853, and at an
early age removed with his parents to Illinois, coming with them in 1870 to
Iowa, locating near State Center. In 1874 he married Martha Jane
Burkholder. In 1884 they moved to Seney, Plymouth county, Iowa, where they
resided until 1902, when they moved to Benson, Minnesota. In 1907 Mr. and
Mrs. Kennedy, with their son, W.E. and wife, came to Union county, S.D.,
which has since been their home. Farming and it's branches had been the
avocation of the deceased all his life, in which he always took an active
and intelligent interest. Besides the bereaved wife, he is survived by two
sons, W.D., of Las Vegas, New Mexico, and W. E. at home; one brother, M. M.
Kennedy of Seney, Iowa, and two sisters, Mrs. Lee Johnson, of Grainfield,
Kansas, and Mrs. A. W. Foulds, of Burbank, S.D., all of whom have the
sympathy of the entire community. A man of absolute integrity, uprightness
of character and of most genial disposition, his untimely demise is
sincerely mourned here and at Seney, where he lived so many years.

Mrs. Kennedy, her son, W. E. and wife; Mrs. Foulds, and Harry Johnson, a
nephew from Kansas, accompanied the remains Saturday to Seney, where funeral
services were conducted Sunday forenoon at 11:30 o'clock at his brother's
home by Rev. Hartzell. Interment was made in the LeMars cemetery, the
Masonic fraternity, of which deceased was a member for many years,
conducting it's beautiful and impressive service at the graveside.

AKRON: (Special Correspondence)
W.H. Kennedy, aged fifty-five, died at his home northeast of Akron, on

the members of the Lodge in LeMars attended the funeral in a body.
