One OF the most familiar faces of the
square has disappeared, James Kennedy
better known to many IS Pop Kennedy,
who was born on Delaine street and for
many years lived I'm the little cottage on
Manton avenue I'm the site now occupied
by the office of the Atlantic Mills COM
pany.
Mr.. Kennedy was well known to all of
the best known sporting men in the East
and New York. for mono ever doubted
any word or act of his. He was warm
hearted and liberal to a fault. and the
many acts of kidness bestowed by him
upon those In need were not generally
known, but hundreds well remember him
kindly for this.
Ills calling or profession TO many was
not OF a high order, but his character,
habits and general character was without
a blemish, and this began I'm his boyhood
days and continued TO yesterday after
noon when he passed away. In his early
days he was a member of the Volunteer
fire department OF Providence. and was
one of the leading organizers OF the Prov
idence Veteran Ffremen's association. and
will be buried from the hall OF this as
ISOLATION on South Main street at o clock
this afternoon. Mr.. Kennedy was "a
years of age. The interment win be at
Swan Point.
The Broadway electrics are now decor
ated with signs which read ELM G.ovs
Avenue" which would indicate that the
Plainheld street Cars are not TO 30 over
TO the East side Just at present. for there
were many who believed that they would
stop at the Union station both ways. for
at the present time there are no cars for
the East side that call at the station.
It looks now as If the citizens OF this
place would have an opportunity TO ride
direct from the square to Roger Williams
park by Sunday. for the work OF laying
the track. and adjusting the wires has
been completed.
