WM. KENNEDY DIED WEDNESDAY

----------------------------

FORMERLY WELL KNOWN BUSINESS MAN HERE

----------------------------

William Kennedy, son of Patrick and Ann Kennedy, living at 503 N. Fourth avenue, died about 4 o'clock a. m. Wednesday of consumption. Mr. Kennedy was very well known in this city and had a large circle of friends. He was formerly engaged in the clothing business here, first in the employ of A. L. Noble & Son and later as a member of the firm of Wadhams, Kennedy & Reule. Mr. Kennedy's qualities as a business man and as a citizen were of the highest, being always honest and straightforward in all his dealings with his fellow citizens. Selling out his interests here he removed to Chicago, where he was engaged for ten years in business. Here his health broke down and he moved to Colorado, from which place he was brought to Detroit some weeks ago by a sister, Mrs. Woodward. He was brought back to his home last Monday with little hope of his recovery of health. He was 35 years old, unmarried, and leaves an aged father and mother to mourn his untimely death.
