It’s possible – this may be the only record we have of who is buried here. These amazing and stalwart ancestors gave us examples of faith, perseverance and love for God that lift the hands that hang down.
Undeterred by hardship and suffering, they led the way for the generations who follow.
These ancestors created a rich heritage that has been passed down to their descendants. The stories, memories, and items they touched, used, or handled are here – at the Kennedy Chapel and Cemetery.
