Hailey-July 27 1881-Michael Kelly, a gentleman whose hair was white with the 
snows of at least 60 winters, was brought to Hailey a week ago last Monday from 
Broadford, where he had been suffering to remain on a pallet, in the open air, 
and was housed and put under the charge of Dr. Miller.
 He was suffering from pneumonia and lingered until Saturday, when he died. He 
came to Wood River from Idaho City a few weeks ago.
 He died penniless.
 As no one in town would bury him and hold the county for the coin, a 
collection was made to defray the funeral expenses. The sum of $62.50 was 
realized and paid out as follows:
Coat and pants for deceased-$10.00
Digging grave-$5.00
Laying out and washing corpse-$5.00
Team to grave-$5.00
Teaming the box to the grave-50 cents
Remarks at the grave-$2.50
Coffin and burial-$30.00
Headboard-$4.50
Total-$62.50
The inscription on Headboard was as follows:
M. Kelly, aged 60, died July 23,1881
