- MRS. P. J. KENNEDY DIES IN WINTHROP
Husband Is President of Columbia Trust Company
Following a surgical operation which she underwent for intestinal trouble three weeks ago, Mrs. Patrick J. Kennedy, whose husband is president of the Columbia Trust Company of East Boston, former State Senator and one of the most prominent citizens of the island district, died yesterday at her home, 97 Washington av, Winthrop.
At first there were hopes that she would regain her strength, but suddenly she began to fall and grew rapidly worse during the last few days, passing away on Sunday. She leaves her husband; one son, Joseph P. Kennedy, whose wife was Miss Rose Fitzgerald, a daughter of Ex-Mayor Fitzgerald, and two daughters, Miss Loretta and Miss Margaret.
Capt. James F. Hickey of the East Boston Police District, Dr John A. Hickey, a prominent East Boston physician, and Charles M. Hickey, former Mayor of Brockton, are brothers of Mrs. Kennedy. There is also a sister, Miss Catherine F. Hickey of East Boston.
Of a home-loving disposition, Mrs. Kennedy's whole life was devoted to her family, and the success that they have all achieved contributed greatly to her happiness. Her charities were many and without ostentation. The funeral will take place Wednesday morning.
