Details:
Roger Kennedy, ex-Sergeant of police, died at his residence Hannahton, near Singleton, at a late hour last night at the great age of 88 years from senile decay after three weeks illness, his wife having preceded him a few years ago. Deceased arrived here in the same ship with the late Sir Henry Parkes, nearly 60 years ago, and shortly after joined the police. For a number of years he was stationed at Maitland and Morpeth, and when the late Chief Constable Horne retired about thirty years ago Sergeant Kennedy for a short time had charge of this district. He was a man of splendid physique, and his fine commanding figure always ensured him respect amongst the rough elements that he had to contend with during those turbulent times. In his public as well as private life Sergeant Kennedy was highly respected.
