Name is spelled Kenedy in the census record. - - - Find A Grave contributor Tonie Alldredge Miller kindly provided the following biographical information for this memorial: KENNEDY--At Hutchinson, Colorado, May 23d, 1891, about one o'clock p.m., John Ellis Kennedy was shot dead while riding with his father on the public highway, by the hand of a bloodthirsty villain, who had secreted himself behind the roots of a tree which had been blown over the wind, about fifty feet from the road and about half a mile from our home. By the hand of providence his father was saved, the shots passing near and one through the rim of his hat. John E. Kennedy was born in Hutchinson September 3rd, 1870, making him twenty years, eight months and eleven days old. He was baptized (Reorganized LDS) by Elder John Ellis, his grandfather, June 22d, 1879. He was a good, obedient boy, but like most boys he did and said many things that were not wise, but always when shown his faults was frank to acknowledge them, ready and willing to go to the injured ones and ask their forgiveness with sorrow for the offense. As he was growing up to manhood and having experience, his faults were decreasing and his good qualities increasing. Life looked bright and promising before him. The bonds of love were drawing closer and closer every day of our life, which made him dearer and dearer to us; but to have him taken from us so suddenly seems more cruel than death. By the grace of God we will try and bear our loss and be reconciled to say, "Thy will be done," and live in hopes of meeting him again where no cruel hand can ever separate us. His death was instantaneous, one shot going into his head over the left ear into the brain, one through upper part of left shoulder into his neck, severing the artery, one in the left shoulder opposite the arm pit, and one through upper right shoulder. 23 May 1891 Hutchinson, Jefferson Co., CO Published in The Saints' Herald ------------------------- Find A Grave contributor Tonie Alldredge Miller kindly provided this biographical information for this memorial: John Kennedy, son of George O. Kennedy, was murdered at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon at Bradford Junction, Jefferson County, twenty-three miles west of Morrison. The murderer shot from ambush. He fired a Winchester rifle. Theball crashed through young Kennedy's brain, entering the left temple and passing out on the other side of the head. The murderer was not seen, and it may be difficult to designate him, although suspicious fastens upon a neighbor who has quarreled with the elder Kennedy.
