John Kennedy
Rutland Daily Herald, Feb. 13, 1904:
John Kennedy of No. 64 East street was found dead about 7 o'clock yesterday morning in a lot in the rear of his house. He left home at 5:30 o'clock on the previous evening in apparently good health, but when he did not return home at the usual hour the family surmised that something must be wrong. No search was instituted until daylight yesterday morning. As Mr. Kennedy's body was frozen stiff it was quite evident he had been dead several hours. His death is attributed to heart disease, with which he had been afflicted for some time.
Mr. Kennedy was born in county Kerry, Ireland, about 75 years ago and came to this country and to Rutland about 50 years ago. He served one year in the 7th Vermont regiment and nine months in the 14th Vermont during the civil war. Mr. Kennedy is survived by his wife, to whom he was married in 1860; two daughters, Mrs. John Kelly of Bellows Falls and Miss Josie Kennedy of this city, and two sons, Thomas F. Kennedy of this city and Charles R. Kennedy of Denver, Col.Rutland Daily Herald, Feb. 16, 1904:
