S. W. Kelley

Samuel Wildeson Kelley, son of Beatty and Mary Ann Turner Kelley, was born at Wilton Junction, Cedar County, Iowa, April 11th, 1859, and departed this life, Nov. 21st, 1930, at the age of 71 years, 7 months and 10 days.

He moved with his parents to Page County in 1863 where he grew to manhood.

On October 20th, 1886 he was married to Mary Frances Hay. To this union were born five children, all of whom, with the mother, survive him, except Ina, who preceded him in death. Those children surviving him are Mrs. Zora Duncan of Clarinda, Russel T., of Clarinda, Selby of Shenandoah, and Lois of Clarinda; two granddaughters, Evelyn and Frances Duncan, whom he loved; one brother, Ethan M. Kelley of Shambaugh; nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Mr. Kelley was kind and always ready to help any one in need, and especially did he love little children, never meeting one without a word to them.

Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, from the Presbyterian Church, of which he was an honored member, conducted by his pastor, Dr. A. B. Thutt, interment being in Clarinda cemetery. The abundance of beautiful flowers at the funeral attested the high esteem in which he was held, as did the large concourse of people present. Those present from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Trullinger of Central City, Neb.; Etta Kelley from Dennison; Mr. and Mrs. Orrin Slocum and Mr. and Mrs. Murray from Darlington, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. Jake Pike from Omaha; Mr. and Mrs. Luman Scovel, and Mrs. Elsie Harboard from Derby, Ia.
