Sidney was the youngest son of David and Kitty Kennamer
and was reared in Kennamer Cove. He worked on the farm and attended the
public schools and later went to Green Academy and Tri-State Normal. He
married Tempie Doss and reared five sons and four daughters.
In December 1923, Sidney bought a home in Woodville and
went into the mercantile business for many years. He was a good leader and
had a supportive disposition.
Artie Page built this house in 1923 and lived in it a
while. It is said the house was not completed inside when Sidney and Tempie
moved in it.
The structure of the house is basically the same. New
siding and roofing has been added. The walls inside are of the old beaded
wood. At one time there may have been fireplaces, the mantle boards are
still intact.
