Ralph Clarence Kennedy, he was the 7th of 9 sons born to Thomas Shank Kennedy and Hester Frances Monnett. Born August 20, 1888, he married Ethel Vira Ford (12/27/1886-4/10/1981). Ralph moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana for some time before he moved out to California. A photo shows him in front of the Auburn Garage with fellow employees (I suppose). I also attached a photo of him with a college friend (apparently while attending college).
He later left Indiana for San Luis Obispo, CA where he was mayor in 1945. Below are several photos of his family, years after the Baker trip to California.

Hi there, I am Lucy White and Ralph Clarence Jr's granddaughter. I was just googling my grandpa, as it is his birthday today, so I thought I'd try to see how old he would have been. Just wanted to comment and say hello. Thank you for the pictures, I just sent them to my dad, I know he will love them.

Hello Lucy, Thank you for your comment. I am interested in knowing more about your family but do not have a connection. Can you email me at my email, email address on my profile front page, so I can ask questions about the Kennedy family that went to California.

Was googling my dad today on father's day. He was Ralph C Kennedy Jr and is pictured above in various shots. Wonderful to see my father, mother, aunt, uncle and I;m pretty sure some of my older siblings. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Phillip for commenting. If you could tell me more about your family or have other family pictures I can share please email me. My email is in my profile.
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon, a correction if I may. The woman standing, second from left in the last snap shot is Lucille Kennedy Fullerton - Almet and Mildred Kennedy's daughter. Lucille''s full birth name was "Clover Lucille Kennedy" but she hated the "Clover" and never used it. So the caption should read: "Standing back, Lucille Kennedy, Ethel Ford Kennedy, Ralph Kennedy, Lucy Kennedy, nee White, Ralph Clarence and Mervin Monnett Kennedy." I cannot positivly ID the children.
