JOHN KELLY
Died July 6th, 1909.
The " Antioch Advertiser" of July 7th has the following: —
On Tuesday afternoon Mr Wm. Kelly received a telegram from Spokane, Washington, which stated that his brother John had died there at six o'clock that morning.
Mr John Kelly, who has been in poor health for some time, had gone to Spokane, Wash., on May 4th, where two of his sons, Thomas and Joseph, reside. Reports from the Kelly home in Spokane during the last few weeks told of the rapid decline of Mr Kelly, and his death, though a sad blow to his family and friends, did not come wholly unexpected. The cause of his death was anæmia.
The deceased was a man of excellent qualities, and always enjoyed the true friendship of every man, woman, and child in the communities in which he has lived. Though for the past twenty years he has made his home in La Grange and Austin, Illinois, and his late home being in Chicago, his many friends here remember him as though one of them all these years. He has made visits here at frequent intervals, always to find that he was heartily welcome in every home in this community. Mr Kelly was probably one of the best known men in this section, he having resided here for nearly twenty years.
He was a good husband and father, and took much deep pride in his home circle. Through his death the family has lost a most noble, husband, father, and brother. His happy face will be greatly missed, not only by his relatives, but many friends also have been bereft of greeting the one they so greatly loved and held in high esteem.
Mr John Kelly was born on February 4th, 1818, in Crosby, Isle of Man, and left his native land for America in the year of 1869. After five years of residence here he returned to the Isle of Man, and there was united in marriage to Miss Ellen Coole. After their marriage the couple came to this country and made their home in Antioch, where for nearly fifteen years they remained. About twenty years ago they removed to La Grange, Ill., and then to Austin, later removing to Chicago, where the family home now is. He was 61 years of age at the time of his death, which occurred on Tuesday morning, July 6th, at six o'clock.
He leaves to mourn his devoted wife, four sons, one daughter, four brothers, and one sister, besides a large number of friends. The children are Robert, of La Grange, Ill. ; Thomas and Joseph, of Spokane, Brash. ; William and Mrs Frank Pilgrim, both of Chicago. The brothers and sister are James, of the Isle of Man; Robert, of Chicago; William and Charles, of Antioch ; and Mrs A. W. Bower, of East Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr Kelly was a member of the Maccabees and one other organisation.. He was a carpenter by trade.
His body was laid at rest in the family plot at the Antioch Hillside Cemetery. Rev F. R. McNamer officiated at the services. Mr John Kelly was a son of the late Mr Robert Kelly, for several years postmaster at Crosby.
