General Notes: Husband - Delmont Jones Kennedy


He spent the years of his early boyhood on the farm of his grandfather Jones, and was thirteen years old when his mother moved to Pittsburgh, where he attended the public schools and afterward took a course in the Pittsburg Business College. At the early age of fourteen he became a clerk in a grocery store, remaining three years, and then obtained a position as bookkeeper in the coal office of E. D. Smith. After serving one year he embarked in the same line of business for himself. He had four coal yards and also handled builders' supplies, the firm name being the D. J. Kennedy Company, and the main office was situated in Frankstown avenue.
Mr. Kennedy was the owner of the Bulger Block Coal Company mines at Bulger, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and was general manager of the Darlington Brick & Mining Company, of Darlington, Pennsylvania. He was also one of the directors of the American Gypsum Company, of Port Clinton, Ohio, and a stockholder in the Shenango Portland Cement Company. Besides his residence on Graham street, he had other interests in real estate in Pittsburgh.
Beginning in 1891 he belonged to Duquesne Lodge, No. 546, F. and A. M., and he also affiliated with Pittsburg Chapter, No. 268; Duquesne Commandery, No. 72, and Pennsylvania Consistory. In the sphere of politics he identified with the Republican party. He was a member of the Friendship Avenue Presbyterian church, and served on the building committee of the edifice to be erected in 1907. Despite his extensive business transactions, which necessarily absorbed so much of his attention, he was one of the most active workers in the church.
