General Notes: Husband - Rev. David S. Kennedy

---

After a preparatory course he entered Westminster College, whence he was graduated in 1858, after which he matriculated at the Allegheny Theological Seminary, subsequent to his graduation being ordained into the ministry of the United Presbyterian Church. His first charge was as pastor of the Center Church, near Midway, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until 1873, in that year going to Sewickley, Allegheny County, continuing in the ministry in that place until December, 1878. The following sixteen years he passed as pastor of the church in Somonauk, DeKalb County, Illinois, thereafter retiring from the ministry and living until his death on a farm he had purchased in that county, being there buried. Until late in his life he was a sturdy supporter of the Prohibition party, prior to his death forming allegiance with the Republican organization. While a resident of Sewickley he held membership on the local school board. He was a faithful and inspired minister, and the five years that he passed in retirement prior to his death were years of rest well earned by a life of blessed activity for the promotion of the Kingdom. As became a minister, he abounded in good works, but so gentle and sympathetic was his nature that had he been called to some other occupation much of his substance would have been given to others less fortunate than he and much of his time spent in their service. During his life he practiced with faith and fidelity the doctrines that he expounded from the pulpit, his life an inspiration to those in doubt, a revelation to those who thought they believed. During the Civil War Rev. David S. Kennedy was sent to the front by the Christian Commission as a chaplain-at-large, visiting the camps and hospitals and in all ways doing all of the good possible. His services were recognized by his admission to membership in the Grand Army of the Republic. [GPHWP, 600]
