He was left sick at Carthage, and was absent on sick leave for some months, when he resigned." "Oliver S. Kennedy was the second lieutenant of Company C, and we have given an account of him." The city of Kennedale, Texas is named for Oliver S. Kennedy, who plotted it. The following listing appeared in the Fort Worth City Directory, 1877; W.W.
