malarial Fever

From: Burials and Removals Erie Street Cemetery 1840-18-918, published 1919

"A mothers love stronger than the attractions of an established home comforts, ease, and the close ties of neighbors and kin accounted for the arrival in Cleveland of Daniel and Jemima Kelley of October, 1814. He was nearly 80 years of age, and his wife 51 years. They came from Lowville, Oneida Co. N.Y., a place they had helped to found 17 years previously. Mr. Kelley was the son of Daniel and Abigail Reynolds Kelley and was born in Middletown Conn. in 1755. Mrs. Kelley was the daughter of Elihu and Jemima Pine Stow.

The first break in the Kelley family of six sons was when Datus, then 22 years of age, became discontented with the severities of western New York winters, started on foot for Cleveland in 1810 The same year, Alfred Kelley came on, and was soon followed by Irad and Reynolds. The younger boys, Tom and Daniel, were the only children remaining in the homestead.

Mrs. Kelley's yearning over her absent boys caused them in 1814 to sacrifice their household treasures to become for the second time pioneers of a new country. The ground plan of an attractive brick cottage had been planned by the mother, and she expected it to be in readiness for occupation when she reached Cleveland. It was not completed at the time of arrival. December, 1814, finds Mrs. Kelley established in her new home. She died September 15, 1815 of the prevalent malarial fever.

The father and his sons made their home with Reynolds and his wife after the death of Mrs. Kelley. Mr. Kelley served the county as its treasurer, and was the city's postmaster in 1816. He died in 1831. Mr. and Mrs. Kelley were first laid away in the Ontario Street Cemetery and afterward removed to Erie Street Cemetery.

The children of Daniel and Mrs. Jemima Pine Stow Kelley were:
Irad Kelley - Married Harrie Pease
Alfred Kelley - Married Mary Seymour Welles
Reynolds Kelley - Married Betsey Gould
Thomas M. Kelley - Married Lucy Harris Latham
Datus Kelley - Married Sarah Dean
Daniel Kelley - Died in 1815"
