MRS. J.A. KELLEY DEAD - THE END CAME TUESDAY EVENING AT FAMILY HOME.
She Was Taken Ill With Pneumonia While Visiting This City Ten Days Before - Her Funeral Services Were Conducted Wednesday Afternoon.
The sad death of Mrs. J.A. Kelley occurred last Tuesday evening a little after 8 o'clock at the family home at Clyatteville.
Her death was caused by pneumonia, with which she was stricken while on a visit to Valdosta about ten days before. When she reached her home at Clyatteville
after spending a few days here, she was suffering so much that she went to bed and summoned a physician. Her condition became serious from the beginning, and
fears were entertained for her recovery throughout her illness.
There seemed to be a slight improvement in her condition on Tuesday morning, but a change for the worse occurred about noon, and she was continued to sink until death ensued.
Her remains were brought to the city Wednesday morning and were carried to the home of Col. W.S. West where they remained until 3:30 o'clock this afternoon, when the funeral services were held at the city cemetery. A long procession of sorrowing relatives and friends followed the casket to the grave, and there was genuine sorrow in every heart as the body was lowered to its final resting
place.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Charles C. Carson, of the Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. C.A. Jackson, of the Methodist. Mr. Carson's tribute to the deceased was beautiful, and the lessons which he drew
from her life were very impressive. Mr. Jackson added a few words to the tribute which had been paid, and closed the services with the benediction. The pall-bearers were: C.C. Varnedoe, J.L. Staten, J.T. Roberts, A.E. Dimmock, J.R. Walker and F.I. McRee.
Mrs. Kelley was a daughter of Mrs. J.L. Cranford and was bron in Echols county. she received her education at Wesleyan Female College, and was very fond of art,
which she continued to practice till her death. She was a member of the Methodist church, but worshipped with the Presbyterian, the church to which her husband belonged. She was a woman of excellent disposition, kind hearted and
charitable to those who needed charity, and was an idol in an unbroken family of brothers and sisters, her's being the first death to occur among them.
She was a sister of Messers. T.G. Cranford and J.G. Cranford, of this city, J.A. Cranford, of Jacksonville, Mrs. J.W. Howell, of Sparks, and Mrs. W.S. West, of
this city. Her mother, Mrs. J.L. Cranford, and her husband also survive her. These bereaved ones have the deepest sympathy of a large circle of friends throughout this section.
