Archivist’s Notes
Son-in-law of Howard Potter
Century Memorial
In his business career, John Kennedy Tod was identified as banker with several of the most important railway reorganizations in the middle nineties; further back, he had participated, as member of the underwriting New York banking house, in the construction of the Great Northern and Canadian Pacific railways. Like many other Americans in the days of our neutrality during the Great European war, he placed his private fortune at the service of the governments who were afterward our allies, and individually supported a hospital in France with sixty beds before the United States had entered the conflict.
