DIED.
KELLEY
At her residence in Wadena, Mrs. Gelina M. Kelley, wife of George E. Keller, aged 40 years, 7 months, 6 days.
Mrs. Kelley was the fourth child of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. [that is incorrect it should be T. E.] Inman now living on Inman's Prairie, and was born in Orleans county, New York, June 31st 1839. At the age of five years her parents removed to Medina county, Ohio, and in 1857 they moved into the then territory of Minnesota, settling in St. Cloud. Here she met Mr. George E. Kelley, and the two were united in the holy bonds of matrimony Dec. 8th, 1857. In 1862 Mr. Inman was in Command of Fort Abercrombie and Mr. Kelley had charge of the construction of the government buildings there. Mrs. Kelley and their son Everett, then only a few months old, accompanying him. In August of that year, a few hours after the arrival of a government train containing arms, ammunition, etc., and after Mr. Inman and his command had been called to the front, the fort was surrounded by a horde of howling red skins, and for 5 weeks its hand-ful of resolute men kept the Indians at bay, Mrs. Kelley together with about twenty other, women moulding (sic) bullets for their defenders night and day. They were at last relieved by a company of the Minnesota 4th regiment and a large number of volunteers from St. Cloud and vicinity. From here they returned to St. Cloud and remained until 1868 when they removed to Carmel, Putnam county, N. Y. In 1877, Mrs. Kelley desiring to be near her parents they came to Wadena for the purpose of ranking it their permanent home. About a year ago Mrs. Kelley contracted a cold from which she never recovered and although everything was done for her which love can prompt or a devoted husband and family could provide, she gradually fell away until at last she crossed the silent river, not, however, until she had been permitted to glance at the beautiful life beyond and tasting of its sweet purity and peace. She returned to consciousness long enough to assure her friends of the reality of a life beyond so conclusively that it doubtless allayed what otherwise would have been an almost unbearable grief. Early in life she became a member of the Baptist church and was a large-hearted, earnest
christian lady, and in all work having a tendency to improve the social and moral condition of the community her hands and voice were ever ready. Sometime previous to her death she arranged all the funeral details which were-carried out to the letter. She is the fourth child of Mr. Inman's family now in the spirit land each of which went in the order of their ages, Mr. John Inman of Fargo being the youngest and only son now left.
The funeral took place at the school house last Sunday and was largely attended, Rev. C. H. Dixon officiating.
The bereaved family have the hearty sympathy of the entire community in which Mrs. Kelley was beloved.
There's a life beyond the river,
A home beyond the grave,
Where the loved one now is waiting
Waiting there her friends to save.
