General Notes: Husband - David A. Kennedy


He was a carpenter by trade.

During the Civil war he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and died in 1862 while in the service. (Bates' History of the Pennsylvania Volunteers, Vol. 3, pg. 708, states that he was transfered to the Signal Corps July 11, 1863)

He was born on the old family homestead, received a common school education and made agriculture his lifework. At the beginning of the Civil war he enlisted in Company C, One Hundred and Third Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, for three months, and after serving his time reenlisted for three years. His regiment was captured and sent to Andersonville prison, but he being in the signal service escaped imprisonment. In consequence of exposure he contracted a fever which proved the cause of his death. He was a staunch Republican and a devout member of the Methodist Episcopal church.


General Notes: Wife - Elizabeth S. Jones


After the death of her husband she, with her young family, lived on the farm of her father, Delmont Jones, until 1873. In that year she moved to the East End of Pittsburgh. She was a member of the Park Avenue Presbyterian church.
