General Notes: Husband - William John Kennedy

---

Until he was eighteen years of age, he remained at home assisting his father in his agricultural work, and then learned the carpenter trade, at which he subsequently worked for thirty-two years. For twenty-two years he engaged in contracting in Pittsburgh and Allegheny, where he erected some of the finest residences among the noted beautiful structures of those cities. For five years of his residence in Pittsburgh, his son was connected with the Marine Bank. In 1903, Mr. Kennedy came to Mars, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and purchased an interest in the Craig Hardware Company, the business then being incorporated under the style of the Craig, Kennedy Hardware Company. Eighteen months later Mr. Kennedy bought Mr. Craig's interest, admitting his son to partnership and changing the name to the W. J. Kennedy Hard-ware Company.
