Mass Grave Excerpt from - History of James Horace Kennedy - by his granddaughter Pearl Ardean Palmer Hatch

James Horace Kennedy was born Feb. 3 1842 in Adams County Illinois, the son of Charles Kennedy and Hulda Elvira Clark. When he was about two years old, his family moved to Greenplum or Greenplain where a sister Cornelia Elmina was born November 4, 1844.

James's family finally settled in the part of the [Salt Lake, Utah] valley that was later known as Sugar House. . .

. . . Sept. 3 1850 a son Silas Francis was born, then on May 4, 1853 James's mother gave birth to twins, a girl, Hulda Alvira and a boy Henry Edward. On Aug. 3 1857 his mother gave birth to another set of twins Charles and Chancey. It is not know if they were still-born or died shortly after birth, but because of the hardships she had endured and having had twins just 4 years before, she died also and was buried with a twin [in] each arm.
