Surnames: Kennedy, Carter, Miller, Stanley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/YS.2ADI/5512.1 Message Board Post: Anyone have information on Doss Kennedy who was a native of Shorterville and the old Kennedy family there? Circa 1910 he was living in Halesburg, then a boomtown, working as a clerk in the Carter and Miller Mercantile on Main Street. He discovered the murdered body of merchant Woody Stanley one morning that year while opening the windows (shutters) for business. I believe he was a brother to Dr. Thomas Kennedy who was an educator in Halesburg in the late 1800s and then a physican in 1905 when he died at his Main Street home. The school he taught was in a building known as "The Kennedy Schoolhouse." Any info will be appreciated.
