The Wilmington Journal, June 11, 1884.
"Elizabeth Kelly, familiarly known as Aunt Betty, was born in Uniontown, Fayette County, Pa. on the 5th day of November, 1802.
In the year 1827, her father, Thomas Hibben, moved to Ohio. On the first of May he bought a small farm on the edge of the town of Wilmington, where they lived for a number of years. In the month of February, 1830, she was married to Charles L. Kelly, and lived with him twenty-three years, when death came and dissolved the bond. To them were born six children, all of whom are now dead. Her husband died March 12, 1853, and for over thirty years she has lived alone as a widow. In reference to this period of her life, she has left the following record in her own handwriting: "God has taken my husband, and all my children are gone; but blessed be His name; He has taken care of me during all these years. O, how good and kind and merciful God has been, to poor, unworthy me. O, how He comforts and cheers me on my pilgrimage."
