Obituary and Additional Biographical Information about Stephen Lucius Kennedy.
Obituary:
In the death of Lucius Kennedy, which occurred at his home on the river road in the town of Janesville, last night, at about half past, eleven, the community has lost a man who has been a resident of the county for nearly sixty years, and one who has been dear to many people, both young and old. Mr. Kennedy was barn March 2, 1850 in Scranton, Pa. He came here with his family in 1860, and since that time has lived on a farm in the town of Janesville.
Mr. Kennedy was not only a farmer, but a dealer in raw furs; there are many men, especially the older hunters, who will pleasantly recall their associations with him in the fur business. He was an industrious, energetic man, resourceful, yet kindly and thoroughly human.
In 1875 he was married by the Rev. Joseph W. Sanderson, in Janesville, to Anna Elizabeth Ludwig. Mrs. Kennedy has been dead for some years, but three children survive: Mrs. Lynn T. Smith of Plummer, Minn., Lucius E. Kennedy of Janesville, and Joseph L. Kennedy of the town of Janesville.
The funeral will be held at the family home tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock. Interment will be in Oak Hill cemetery.
