From Friday's Daily. Mrs. Hannah Kennett died at six o'clock this morning, not of any disease, but simply passed to rest as one having her work finished. Of her four children, but two are living, William and Homer, both residing here, all the balance of the family and most of the near relatives having paid the debt that some day will be extracted from us all. Hannah Umstead was born near Philadelphia, Aug. 28, 1824, the youngest of thirteen children of Jacob and Hannah Umstead, now all deceased but the sister next older, who lives in Salem, Ohio. In early life the school facilities coupled with her parents circumstances, were such that she obtained only a slight education from books, much more being obtained in the kichen as a servant in and about Salem, where she, after crossing the mountains in a wagon, took up her abode. On Nov. 25, 1845, she was married to Thomas Kennett, a lawyer, whose fees of more than a dollar at that time were extremely rare and who prepared for the wedding ceremony by trying a justice case that day and receiving a churn for his service. Her ability to live extremely well on a very slender income enabled them to lay by a little of their scanty income and in later life to be looked upon as very prosperous citizens. Whatever of success she and they achieved in a material way is covered by the one word "care." To the last day of her physical ability everything about her house was in order and that without any indication of fussiness, the only way she could perform the household labor was the right way, and it was never as hard work for her as it was for many women to perform the modern requirements of society that produce no result of bodily comfort. Outside of the Baptist church, her life has been devoted to her family, and even the church could not get her time when family cares were in the least pressing. Being a member of no other orgranization, she has had much time to devote to it and through all the turmoils of the two congregrations of which she formed a part she was never anything but a Baptist, whether the minister or any other part of the organization was satisfactory to her or any other member, she was still a Baptist and never absent because of any feeling. The family came to Concordia in 1881 and while her history was not made here, there is not a neighbor anywhere that has ever been known to speak ill of her, while those who came to know her best held for her the highest esteem and respect. Mrs. Kennett has been a widow for some years. (transcribed by Judy Mayfield) Dec. 2021
