The fiilo Tribune contains the fol-
lowing account Of the death and fun
eral of Mrs. C. c. Kennedy:
There passed away on Friday last in
Hilo Mrs. Anna Deacon Kennedy, vile
Of c. c. Kennedy and mother Of Ronald
and Bruce Kennedy.
1t was Just four months since Mrs.
Kennedy first became III and though all
too soon 1t became apparent that the
stroke with which she was seized would
In all~human probability prove fatal,
she bore up to the end with Christian
fortitude. All that medical attendance
could do. all that the devotion Of low
ing family could attempt was done, but
the end was not to be postponed.
The funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon and the fact that regardless
Of caste. color or creed Hilo was In
complete mourning was an ample testi.
mony TO the sincere esteem IN which
the deceased lady was held. Flags
dropped everywhere at half-mast and.
from the hour OF noon until after the
funeral, business was suspended every
where.
A brief service was held a, the he
reaved home. after which the cortege
proceeded to the First Foreign Church
The casket was borne In by John T q.
Moir. John Watt. II. NJ. Wilson,
Thomas Forbes. John Napier and vii.
liam Chalmers, the honorary bearers
following being E. r.. Richards. Charles
Furneaux, Judge r. s. Lyman. william
Pullar. l.. Severance and w. s. Terry
The funeral arrangements were super.
vised by L. N. Holmes.
The mourners included all OF the
members Of the family at present In
the town. They took seats In pews re.
served at the front Of the church. Mr.
Kennedy was accompanied by Mrs
Charles Furneaux. the most intimate
friend of the late Mrs. Kennedy. Ron.
aid c. Kennedy. son Of the deceased
with Mrs Ronald Kennedy; c. X. Ken
nedy, n nephew. with Mrs. c. r. Ken
bedy; J. ID. Kennedy and Thomas Ken
nedy. also nephews, comprised the
party.
The church was mass OF blossoms
of every description In fast II Is doubt
iul II room could possibly have been
found for more. The sweet odors OF
the flowers sent by sorrowing friends
lent u strangely sad atmosphere to the
services which followed
AS the casket was reverently placed
before the pulpit the choir In gently
modulated voice sang Rock OF Ages
and prayer by Rev. c. T.. Shields fol.
lowed. Rev. c. W. Hill spoke most
teelingly and Rev Shields followed
with a funeral sermon from John, 1gt
Epistle. 2. II. THE world passeth
away and the bestt hereof: but he that
doeth the will OF God abideth forever
The choir sang Lead Kindly Light"
and There Is a Fountain Filled with
Blood" and the solemn congregation
filed out OF the church to pay the last
respects to the deceased at the grave.
side. The procession to the place OF
spulture In the Hilo cemetery was re-
markably large. The grave was i'm.
mediately beside those Of Mrs. Ken,
nedys mother and sister. The serv.
Ices at the cemetery were brief and
the large gathering broke up at the
cemetery gates.
The late Mrs. Kennedy. whose maid.
en- name was Anna Deacon. was born
at Wappingers Falls, Duchess County.
New York. on October IL. 1880. She
went to Honolulu In 1878 and there on
April 23d was married to C. C. Kenne.
dy. A year later they came to Hilo
and lived at their Waiakea home from
that time on. She leaves two brothers
and two sisters out Of q family Of
eight.
Simply and without the slightest os.
tentation the late Mrs. Kennedy was
never SO happy as when doing good
for others. Many people In humble
life have reason to revere her memory
and the extent OF Hilo's loss by her de.
rarture from this life cannot be esti.
