KENNEDY, James
The 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.
