BIOGRAPHICAL AND HISTORICAL RECORD OF JAY AND BLACKFORD COUNTIES, INDIANA
The Lewis Publishing Company, 1887 - Page 436-437

        ADAM W. KENNEDY, druggist, Dunkirk, Indiana, was born in Grant
County, Indiana, February 28, 1854, a son of Moses and Margaret (Schroff)
Kennedy, natives of Brown County, Ohio, where they were married, removing
thence to Grant County, Indiana, in its early day, and there the father
died May 20, 1882, the mother's death preceding his about two months. A. W.
Kennedy was reared in Grant County, receiving his education at Jonesboro.
After leaving school he was employed by the railroad company at $35 a
month, at which he continued until 1882, when, with a capital of $35, he
engaged in the grocery business at Jonesboro. In 1883 he removed to
Dunkirk, and formed a partnership in the grocery business, the firm being
Kennedy & Macy. In 1884 they disposed of their stock of groceries and
embarked in the drug business, which Mr. Kennedy still continues, and in
May, 1886, removed to his present location. April 22, 1887, Mr. Macy
withdrew from the firm and Mr. Kennedy has since conducted t
he business alone. His stock consists of drugs, paints, oils, wall paper,
stationery and druggists' sundries, valued at $3,000, his store room being
18 x 75 feet in dimensions. Thus from the small beginning of $35 Mr.
Kennedy has by good management increased his capital and now has a good
paying business, and is one of the prosperous citizens of Dunkirk. He was
married August 20, 1878, to Jennie Lelfridge, a daughter of John and Maude
Lelfridge. They have two children - Otto and Fred. In politics Mr. Kennedy
is a Democrat. He served one term as marshal of Jonesboro.
