Kellaway Killarney Pioneer, Dies An entire community mourned when it became known that Bam Kellaway, a pioneer of the 80’s and a well known resident of the district had quietly passed away, at the home of his brother, W- J. Kellaway, where he had made liis home for the past twelve years. He had been ill for only a few days, although he had not been in good health 'for some time. Funeral services were held Monday from First United Church, conduct­ ed by Rev, A. A. Boone, while a large concourse of friends gathered to pay their sad respects to the mem­ ory of the departed. The honorary (pallJbearefrs were all' old friends and neighbors: Jack Daly, W. J. Schnarr, H. Hysop, John Brown, A, M. High and Wm. Chat­ ham, Active pallbearers were: W. J. .Sanders, Geo. Campbell, D. Chris­ tie, W. K. McNamte, F. E. Stevenson and P. Hunter. Samuel Thomas Kellaway was born in Devonshire, England in 186 6, and came to Canada with his parents when but three years of age settling in Exeter, 'Ontario, where his boy-, hood and early manhood years were spent. After leaving school he worked in Carling’s general store in 1886 came west, to Killarney. He travelled on the first thro’ freight over the C. P. R. main line. He worked for the late A. J. Rollins during his year in the west and it was from' him that he bought the farm east of town which he cultivat­ ed successfully for many years. It was as a horticulturist that he was best known, and his farmstead soon became the show place of the district. He was first to demon­ strate that many flowers, vegetables and fruits could be successfully grown in Manitoba. His lovely well- kept grounds, with its hedges and clusters of lilacs and other flower­ ing shrubs were visited by many. He was the first to introduce corn as a field crop in this part of the country. Mr. Kellaway was a quiet home-' loving man of sterling character# a reader and good thinker with a live­ ly sense of humor that was at all times kindly. He was a member of the Killarney school board during 1914 and 191'5. In 1915 he was un­ animously selected as Liberal candi­ date for the provincial legislature, but was forced, through ill-health, to resign before the election. He is survived by one brother, W. J. Kellaway. The late Mrs. R. Arscott who died in 1936, was a sister, and another sister, Laura died in Septem­ ber of 1926. —'Killarney Guide, Manitoba bridges in 193 8 was re- the Dept, of Hghways.

There were a few cuts on his face, but from the way he was lying, I figured about every bone in his body had been broken. “I was certainly lucky,” said the farmer. “A few minutes saved my life. There wouldn’t have been much chance of escaping alive had I been in the stable when the plane struck it. I heard the engine of a plane, but there didn’t seem to be anything wrong with it.
