My Great Granfather is Doss Kennedy born Apr 17, 1888 in Allen Co. Kentucky. Do this help?

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.

By any chance are you referring to Doss Kennedy, son of Thomas Williams Kennedy and Rebecca Tarbutton Kennedy? They had six children, my grandfather (Daniel E. Kennedy), Dr. Thomas J. Kennedy and (I believe) Doss Kennedy among them. My mother is a daughter of Daniel Edgar Kennedy.

Please let me know as soon as you can. I'll be traveling to see her this next week and would be happy to ask her if she recalls anything about that particular story if you'd like. I also have one other source who may know, a first cousin in Alabama.
