Raymond R. Kennedy
Raymond R. Kennedy, attorney-at-law and secretary of the
Spencerville Home & Savings Association, belongs to
one of the old established families of the place. He
was born here in the house which is now occupied by
his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Mary Washburn, on the
west side of the canal, south of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, on October 12, 1875, and is a son
of Claude M. and Handia J. (Washburn) Kennedy.
Claude M. Kennedy, father of our subject, was born January 11,
1851, in Juniata County, Pennsylvania, and in the
following year was brought to Spencerville by his
parents, Joseph and Elizabeth (Lawrence) Kennedy.
(Note: On all census records
above, Joseph's wife is listed as Mary J or Jane)
The family is of English, Scotch, Welsh and Irish
extraction. In the spring of 184, Mr. Kennedy
was married to Handia J. Washburn, who was a
daughter of Thomas and Mary Washburn, the former of
whom is deceased. Three children were born to this
union, viz: Brice, who died at the age of 11 years;
Bessie, who died aged three years; and Raymond R.,
who is the only survivor.
After completing the common and High School course at Spencerville,
our subject taught one term of district school and
then completed his education in the Ohio Northern
University at Ada, where he was graduated in the law
department, in the class of 1899, being admitted to
the bar on October 14th of the same year. He opened
his office at Spencerville six days later and has
continued in practice ever since, although he has
also had many political and business interests
outside of his profession.
Since casting his first presidential vote, in 1896, he has been
very active in politics. That year he was secretary
of the Bryan Club of Spencerville, which had 400
members, and in the succeeding year he was secretary
of the Democratic Executive Committee of Allen
County, and until the present he has served as a
delegate on many occasions to congressional,
judicial and senatorial conventions. In 1898, while
still reading law with Attorney J. N. Bailey, at
Spencerville, he was appointed to a position in the
State Senate at Columbus.
Mr. Kennedy has been identified with insurance
interests at Spencerville for some years, having
purchased the insurance business of J. J. Miller,
who had established it in 1891. Mr. Kennedy
represents 10 of the best companies of New York. In
January 1901, he was elected secretary of the
Spencerville Home & Savings Association, and has
served in this capacity ever since.
The Spencerville Home & Savings Association is one of the important
business enterprises of Allen County. It was
organized October 3, 1887, by S. L. Ashton, a
popular newspaperman of Spencerville. The present
officers are: Dr. L. R. Pence, president; Raymond R.
Kennedy, secretary; and A. L. Gamble, treasurer. The
Board of Directors is composed of the following
capitalists: Dr. L. R. Pence; F. C. Snow, editor and
proprietor of the Spencerville Journal-News; J. H.
Beach; C. H. Baum; D. M. Connor; C. M. Kennedy and
J. M. Beard, all of Spencerville. The officers are
all elected annually. Since Mr. Kennedy's first
election on the first Monday in January 1901, the
business has rapidly increased. The June statement
for the six months prior to June 30, 1905, showed
that the loans and mortgages amounted to $64, 590.
85, secured by real estate valued at $200,000. Loans
are made on first mortgages only and must be well
secured.
Mr. Kennedy is one of three trustees of the Victoria Colonization
Company, which owns 18,500 acres of land outside of
Victoria, Texas, a town of 7,000 population. The
land has been improved, the company having erected
about 40 houses and dug as many wells. The locality
favors the growing of rice and other products
suitable to the climate. The venture has been very
successful for all concerned. Other property owned
by Mr. Kennedy is the Keeth House property at
Spencerville.
On June 2, 1898, Mr. Kennedy was married to Susie Dunathan, who is
a daughter of J. H. Dunathan. For a number of years
Mr. Dunathan was a general merchant in Auglaize
County, which he served two years as county
commissioner. In August, 1881, he moved his store
from Deep Cut on the canal to the present site just
opposite the Keeth House in Spencerville, later
selling it to John H. Taft, who is a prominent
business man owing three stores in as many towns.
Mr. Dunathan died in October 1899. His wife survives
and resides in Spencerville. The survivors of their
11 children are: Mrs. Henry Richardson, of
Spencerville, whose husband is the proprietor of the
Peoples' Drug Company; Mrs. F. E. Weining, whose
husband is proprietor of the Spencerville Steam
Laundry; Harmon L., who is in the drug business at
St. Marys, Ohio; Susie; and Thomas R., who resides
in Paulding, Ohio.
Mrs. Kennedy is a graduate of the Spencerville High School, and is
not only a lady of many accomplishments but also of
unusual business ability. She has a thorough
understanding of the building and loan business and
assists her husband greatly in his work in this
connection. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kennedy are active
members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of
Spencerville. With his accomplished wife, Mr.
Kennedy is popular in the literary and social
circles of Spencerville. Fraternally he is a Mason
and belongs to Arcadia Lodge, No. 306, of
Spencerville. |
