General Notes: Husband - John A. Kelly

---

He first saw the light in Kelly township, Union County, Pennsylvania, and later occupied the farm in Buffalo township upon which his father spent his last years. Fond of reading, and possessing a keen intellect, he was unusually conversant with the current topics of his day. He began his education in the “Union School” at Mazeppa. After completing the course of study offered there, he entered the academy at Perrysville, PA, where he pre­pared for teaching (on leaving that institution) a school in Potter township, Centre County, at a salary of $18.00 per month. The next seven years he spent in teaching part of the time in St. Clair county, IL, where he went in the spring of 1855. His summer vacations were mainly de­voted to selling implements. He remained in Illinois until 1869, with occasional visits home, and during the last three years he was superin­tendent of a brick yard in which he held a one-third interest. While in this business he traveled for about a year through the Western States, and “took up a claim” in Nemaha County, KS.
