El Reno, Ok., Democrat, Sept. 29--Isaiah F. Kelly, who passed away last Friday evening, a victim of caner, after two years suffering, was laid to rest today in the El Reno cemetery. The funeral services were held at the family residence at 1520 East Cavanaugh street, conducted by Rev. Allen W. Bridges, chaplain of the G.A.R. Post. The veterans of the Civil War turned out and paid their last respects to the memory of their dead comrade. Mr. Kelly had many friends in El Reno who regret his departure keenly.
Isaiah F. Kelly, who died at his home here Friday, and was buried yesterday, was born in Huntington county, Pennsylvania, October, 10, 1839. When he was ten years of age, he moved with his parents to Dubuque, Iowa, and in 1850 went to Nauvoo, Ill., and lived there until 1860, when he removed to Wisconsin. In 1861 he enlisted in Company B, Sixth Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, for Civil War duty, serving first in the Army of the Potomac, and was regimental color bearer at the battle of Gettysburg, where he was wounded twice. He was again wounded and lost his arm in the battle of Mine Run in Virginia, in November, 1963. In February, 1864, he received a commission in the Veterans Reserve Corps, and was mustered out of service in June, 1866. He graduated from the state university at Normal, Ill., and from the commercial college at Burlington, Iowa. In 1869 he was appointed military storekeeper at Gladstone, Ill., holding this position until 1873, when he moved to Polk county, Neb., settling at Osceola. He taught school there for five years and was then elected county clerk of Polk county holding the position for six years. He was married September 11, 1878, to Harriet E. Kenney of Osceola, and by this union two children were born, Lloyd J. Kelley of the U. S. engineers at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, and Mrs. M. C. Biederman of Detroit, who with the mother survive him. He came to El Reno in 1891, serving as the United States court commissioner for a number of years. His life was always one of activity and he accumulated some very valuable property. He retired from active business life about eight years ago. Besides the relatives above-mentioned he leaves two brothers, J. W. Kelly, Fort Madison, Ia., who has been with him for the past three months, and J. D. Kelly of Portland, Oregon, and a little grandson, Victor L. Davis.
