General Notes: Husband - David H. Kelly

---

He was born on the old homestead in a house built by Col. Kelly before the Revolutionary war. He was reared as a farmer boy, his father's extensive estates afford-ing plenty of work for him as his strength devel-oped, and his education was obtained in the sub-scription schools of that time. His mind was of a high order, and the limited instruction of his early days was so supplemented by study and observation that he became well-informed on general topics, and his opinions were held in high respect by his associates. He was a stanch Democrat in politics, and held every office in Kelly township except that of justice of the peace. In 1859 he was elected county commis-sioner. In religious matters he was also active, adhering to the doctrines of the Reformed Church and attending regularly the Union Church at Mazeppa, in which he served many years as an official. He followed farming exclu-sively, and although he owned a gristmill at Kel-ly Cross Roads he did not operate it. He was six feet tall, and weighed 180 pounds, and his robust and well-built frame enabled him to do much hard work as well as to perform some not-able feats in hunting and fishing, of which sports he was very fond. His home life was pleasant, and he delighted in gathering about him a gay company of neighbors for whom he would evoke sweet strains from his violin, visitors often gath-ering at his house to dance an evening through.

He married and their first home was on an estate in Kelly township given to David Kelly by his father, but in the spring of 1858 he bought another farm in Buffalo township which was at one time owned by Wendell Baker, a well-known pioneer of Buffalo Valley. Both these farms descended to the heirs together with a large tract of mountain land.
