Brothers and Sister to Contest Will.

The will of Capt. Peter Kennedy, drowned
in sight of his summer home at Holiday beac h.
June 23d, is probably to be contested. Immed.
lately after it was placed on file in probate
court M. A. johnson. Rockland attorney,
entered his appearance in behalf of the heirs.
With the exception of bequest of $1,000 to
G. Howe Wiggin, president of the Rockand
National bank, all of the property of the dead
man is left to the widow, Grace Adams Ken
nedy, who is also named executor. Her state
ment to the probate court estimates the real
estate of the deceased to be worth $4,000 and
the personal estate $4,000. In addition the
widow was beneficiary of a life insurance
policy amounting to nearly $4,000 more, and
it is estimated that considerable property was
conveyed to her before the will was drawn.
One section of the will especially stipulates
that no part of the estate shall become the
property of his brothers or sister. The heirs
thus cut off are William M. and James Kennedy
of Rockland, Edward Kennedy of Massachus.
etts. John Kennedy of Bath. Frank Kennedy,
who is in the west, and Ellen Kennedy, who

call to Mr.. rockingham, most of its members
were not satisfied with his views on the Trim
lty and separated from the Parish, taking no
part IN the installation. The seceeders formed
a new religious society, under the name of
"Ihe Congregational Society associated with
the First Church in Belfast" and a new church
in connection with the old or first parish was
organized Sept. 19, 1919, and in 1881 built what
is known as the North Church.
Under Mr.. rockingham the first parish
maintained a vigorous growth, but after
ministry of p years. age and increasing in
hrmlties compelled him to ask his dismissal.
In acceding to his request June 5, 1916. the
Parish adopted series of complimentary
resolutions They were without a settled
minister until July, lS47 when unanimous call
was given to the Rev. Marcus A. H. Niles. but
who died quite suddenly on the 18th of August.
After his death the parish remained for sew
eral months without pastor During the
following winter Rev Caznean Palfrey oecuped
the pulpit, and in March, 1s4s, accepted an in
vltatlon to remain here permanently and was
installed April 10Th. April 3, 1871 his resigpa-
tlon, rendered because of failing health was
accepted by the parish. He was succeeded bv
Rev. David N. Utter, whose ordination took
place October 81. 1871. His ministry here ter
minated by mutual consent in April 1874, and
his successor was Rev. James Thompson Blk
by, who began his labors here in December
1874 This much of the early history of the
church is CLEANED from Wiiamson's History
of Belfast. Its later history is well known to
most of our readers.
