PIONEER CITIZEN OF HAZELTON DIES
Thomas Kelley, aged 70, one of the oldest and best known citizens of Hazelton, died at 6 o’clock Thursday morning in the St. Alexius hospital, where he had been a patient since July 1.
Mr. Kelley was born in Campbellsford, Ontario, Canada, March 1846, where he spent the early part of his life. In 1876 he came to Emmons county where he engaged in farming. He was one of the pioneers of that county and was one of the most successful farmers in the state.
Mr. Kelley was known and loved by a large circle of friends in many parts of the state. He retired from active business several years ago. He had been in ill health for some time and last winter spent several months in Florida.
He was a member of the Catholic church in Hazelton. Three brothers and two sisters survive. A sister, Mrs. M. O’Donnell of Campbellsford, Can., only returned home last week after a visit with him at the hospital. A niece, Miss Mabel O’Donnell, arrived in the city yesterday to take charge of the funeral services.
The body will be taken to Hazelton today on No. 8 and funeral services will be conducted Saturday morning at 9 o’clock in the Catholic church. Interment will be made in the Hazelton cemetery.
