Obituary, McKelvie--
Othello McKelvie was born at Brooklyn, Illinois on May 27, 1877 and passed away from this earthy life at the Mary Lanning hospital (sic) in Hastings on April 20, 1962. He was the third son of Jennie and Samuel McKelvie. The family moved to a farm in Clay County in 1879. He grew to young manhood on the farm and following his graduation from business college in Lincoln, Nebr., he managed a lumber business in Iowa for two years, later being associated with a bank in Logan, Iowa. There he met and married Viola Peckenpaugh on Dec 24, 1903, and the following March they returned to the farm in Clay county (sic) where he was associated with his father in business until he retired to his home in Clay Center in 1943. He was a lover of nature and nature's products and his desire for its beauty was manifest in his beautiful yard.
He was baptized into Christ in the Boyer River near Logan, Iowa in 1898, and at the time of his death was an elder in the Christian Church at Clay Center, He has been especially active in missionary work since his retirement from the farm.
Othello's wife Viola, father, Samuel, mother, Jennie, brothers, Homer, Otis, Roy and Floyd, preceded him in death.
Mrs. Carroll M. Gunderson was the pianist. A mixed quartet, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Wilkins, Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Boyd, song (sic) "No Night There."
Funeral services were held Monday, with Rev Manson Miller and Rev Carroll Gunderson officiating. The funeral was conducted by McLaughlin Funeral Home.
Of the several McKelvies born and reared in Clay county (sic), he is the last of the family with the exception of a brother, Claude McKelvie, of Boulder, Colo., and two sisters, Mrs. Huga Schlueter and Mrs. Walter Brown, of Lincoln. A daughter, Miss Fern McKelvie, is at home.
Pallbearers were E. A. Hansen, L. E. Detweiler, Richard McKelvie, DeLos Peckenpaugh, Everett Logan and Wayne Beach. Interment was in the Clay Center cemetery (sic) with the McLaughlin Funeral Home in charge.
Mr. McKelvie's private beneficences were not of the boastful type. His friendship was freely given. A few years ago he offered Clay Center a generous contribution for carrying on FFA work in the Clay Center school, but due to lack of sufficient farm students, this plan could not be carried out.
