Of the original command, but thirty-one men survived to the close of the war.
Upon his return to his native state after his discharge from the army Mr. Kelly was engaged as a boatman for a short time, but he then devoted his time to farming, in which he met with prosperity. He lived on a farm in Bethel township, which he owned and operated from 1886.
