General Notes: Husband - Joseph J. "Joe" Kennedy

---

He began his education by attending school in Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and subsequently continued it at Princeton, Lawrence County. He then engaged in farming and afterwards for seven years worked at the enameling trade. He engaged in business in Zelienople in August, 1905, buying out the firm of Goehring & Keck, and commencing business with a partner under the style of the Kennedy Company, dealing in groceries, feed, coal, and builders' supplies. In June, 1908, he purchased his partner's interests, thus becoming the sole proprietor of the business. For a time, before starting this enterprise, he was connected with the Zelienople Hardware Company.
He was a member of the Protective Home Circle. In politics he was a Republican, and his religious affiliations were with the United Presbyterian Church.
