Charles W. Kennedy was born Nov. 28, 1850 at Monticello, White County, Ind. He died at his home in New Market, Oct. 10, 1897, being forty six years, ten months and twelve days old. He was married to Matilda McCall Sept. 9, 1875. To them was born six children, three of whom died in infancy. Harry, a bright boy, died Nov. 14, 1891, at the age of 8 years, and two, Mamie and Paul, are left with their mother to mourn on this sad occasion. The family now consists of Grandma Wilson, Matilda Kennedy, and her two children, Mamie and Paul. Mr. Kennedy was baptized by Elder McKinzey about ten years ago at this place and amidst all his trials and difficulties in life, he claimed a faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He was a penitent man, good to his family and good to his neighbors, and was a man however with his human weaknesses and frailties of the flesh. His life on earth is ended and he is now in the hands of a God of mercy, love and supreme justice. -s
