The late Mr John Kelly
Mr John Kelly, eldest son of the late Mr James Kelly, muslin manufacturer of Glasgow, and brother of Messrs James, Henry and Adam Kelly, and Mrs A Adamson of this colony, died of heart disease at his residence, Marryatville, on Thursday morning, at the age of seventy-two years. The deceased gentleman was a colonist of fifty-three years' standing, having arrived in the ship Lady Bute as early as January 1839. In the same vessel it might be mentioned were the late Messrs Edward and Charles Stirling, also well known colonists. Mr John Kelly's father died in 1837, leaving a family of twelve - six sons and six daughters. Thereupon he, as eldest son, was entrusted to establish a new home for them and his mother, and with that end in view set out for Australia towards the end of the following year. Mrs Kelly and the other members of the family followed to South Australia in the ship Martin Luther in 1840. The Messrs Kelly the same year started farming in the valley of the Onkaparinga, within a couple of miles of what has since become Woodside. Messrs Kelly Brothers were well known as the largest farmers of the district, having gone into agricultural pursuits upon an extensive scale, and were very successful. At about the lime of the discovery of the Victorian Goldfields in 1851, Mr John Kelly retired from farming and came to reside in Adelaide, entering business in the city as a land agent, which he continued up till the time of his death. Mr Kelly never took any part in politics, and altogether, viewed from a public aspect, was of a retiring disposition. His wife only recently died from an attack of influenza, after but a few days' illness. Since Mrs Kelly's death he - by no means well before - never seemed to rally. He leaves a son and three daughters.
His property 'Eastdale' was listed in 1862-63 as a 5 roomed house. Additions were added in 1877-78. After John's death the house and 1 acre of land was sold to Sir E T Smith. The remaining 12 acres was sold to Mr G H Meyer. It was later renamed 'Arlington'and was owned in 1920 by William Gilfillan.
