DEATH'S HARVEST.
T1100. H1ELLT.
Anobher pioneer paid Nature's debt
last Monday morning at 7.15 o'clock, in
the person of the worthy town Treasurer,
Thos. Kelly. He had been ill for a week
and a half with eougesbion of the lungs
aid la grippe, but hie many friends
hoped that his vigorous conetibution
would bring him safely through. He
fought hard for life, but had to succumb,
despite all that medical attendance and
Mende could do. Mr. Kelly first saw the
light of day on the "Emerald Isle, being
born at Ballinaugh, Co. Govan, on April
10th, 1828. He wae the eecoud oldest in
a family of 7, children of Geo. Kelly.
When a oomparabively young mau he
was given a position on the Police force
and did duty in the more Southerly part
of Ireland, The parents having passed
away bo their long home, 4e- years inter-
vening, the other members of the family
deoided to come to Amerioa, their brother,
William, ]raving preceded them, In
September 1849 they bade good-bye to
Liverpool, and 26 days after, a quiok pas
sage in those days, the good ship landed
at Now York. Oswego, N. Y., was their
borne for a time, moving to Niagara
Falls the next Spring, and in 1858 the
deceased, acoompanted by his brothers
and sisters, pioneered into Morris tewn-
ehip, where they had purchased 400 acres
of bush land on the 8th con. By energy,
industry and economy fruitful fields soon
took the place of the forest and the sub-
jeo9 of bbis notice continued to voids
there until he decided to retire and take
up residence in Brussels 26 years ago.
Mr. Holmes was the purchaser of his
farm. Hera he went into gardening and
the cultivation of fruit and flowers, of
which ho was passionately fond, and
many a deserving compliment was paid
him by visitors over his green house and
garden displays. In Morris township he
was honored with a seat as Councillor
and afterward as Reeve, and for the past
21 years in Brussels he held the respou•
Bible position of Treasurer for the muni.
oipality. He was a Conservative in
Eolitics and a member of St. John's
piscopal church, of which he had been
Warden and Lay Delegate to Synod for
many years. Mr. Kelly was a typical
Irishman in his geniality, whole souled•
nese, hospitality and wit, and no one
enjoyed a joke better than he. In March,
1856, deceased was united in marriage to
Miss Mary MoCouuell, of Blyth, his now
bereft partner, who proved a true help-
meet to the close of life. None of their
children survive. Of the brothers and
sisters of Mr. Kelly Bessie died. in the
Old country in 1849 ; William passed
away from his home in Morris in 1839 ;
and James was borne to his last earthly
resting plebe in 1898. The survivors are
George, of Morris, and Misses Ann and
Jane, who have been residing in their
new home adjoining the comfortable
residenoe of their now departed brother
shoe last Fall. An appropriate funeral
service was oonduoted in Sb. John's
church on Wednesday afternoon by Rev.
G J. Abey, the incumbent. The words
"There remaiueth therefore a rest unto
the people of God," was the basis of a
practroal address by the rector. The
pulpit and reading desks were appropri-
ately draped. The pall bearers were :-
Wm. Bryan, Jno, Cardiff, Geo. Backer,
Joseph Smith, Jno. Mo0utoheon and T.
Farrow. There was a Large attendance
at the funeral, the ohuroh being crowded
to the doors. The village Council attend-
ed in a body, and from both the town bell
and that in St. John's church tower the
dreary tolling reminded many of the
certainty of death to whose command
all must hearken. For Mrs. Kelly and
other sorrowing relatives deep sympabhy
is expressed. •

former, and no one had done more to ad-
vaooe the interests of Liberalism in West
Huron than he had and in bis death the
