John Kennedy

MDCCCXLI/Sacred to the memory of/JOHN KENNEDY/minister of Killearnan who died January 10th MDCCCXLI - a man of God, sent forth into the vinegard/with the fullness of gospel blessing, the peculiarly honoured/ambassador of Christ, through whom shone forth the excellency of the power/in the conversion of many a soul to God./The joy of the Lord was his strength/the ministerial gifts and graces of primitive times/when on the glory of Zion there was defence/in his person were soon realised, attracting the love of believers/and in evry utterances refreshing their souls/They were glad in his light. in any ordinance of the sanctuary/rightly replenished in spirit by close communion with God/of intimate standing in the mind and counsel of Christ/with holy unction/fervour wisdom and love/he watched, warned and nourished the heritage./Sinners in Zion were afraid./Full of faith and of the fruits of the spirit/abounding in labours, and/ripened for glory, he fell asleep.


This parish mourns.


As a mark of regard for the memory of the Rev. JOHN KENNEDY, this stone/with the same inscription replaces the original one of sandstone, July 1937.

Comments

I am tracing the forebears of Rev John Kennedy. I know his parents were Donald Kennedy and Mary Matheson, but wish to know more. I'd also like to know the names of his siblings. If anyone can help me, I'd much appreciate it. Thank you.
