Obituary.

Died, at his home near Nevada, Wednesday, March 1, 1899, Robert Kelly, aged 58 years, 3 months and 17 days.

The deceased was born at Buffalo, New York, November 12, 1840, and went with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Kelly, when three years old to Kenosha county, Wisconsin, where his father opened up a farm. In 1867 the family removed to the Milford township farm where their homestead still continues. Ever since he was old enough Mr. Kelly has worked and managed for his parents, and though he never married, he was ever a model and most affectionate son and brother. He had always a kindly word and thoughtful consideration for those about him, and he was a man whose modest place in the world was filled dutifully and well. He leaves besides his mother, his sister Miss Rossie, his brother T. W. and several nieces and nephews, a circle of friends limited only by his acquaintance and all his most sincere mourners. His funeral was conducted Friday afternoon by Rev. J. W. Innes assisted by Rev. W. P. Payne.
