The Sabine Index - A. F. Kelly

  11 Oct 1940 - Funeral services for A. F. Kelly one of our great
pioneer citizens of Sabine were held Monday, Sept. 30 at 2 p.m. at
the Pisgah Baptist Church.  Funeral services was under the direction
of the Roberts Funeral Home of DeRidder with Rev. W. T. Moses
officiating through the loving kindness and tender mercies of God.

  Bro. Kelly was permitted to live to a ripe old age.  He like many
other pioneer citizens, fought the rugged battle to held make possible
some of the blessings of freedom and Christian principles, that we
have today.  My acquaintance with Mr. Kelly and family and the
fellowship that I have had with them during my year of pastoral work
at Pisgah has been very sweet and inspiring because of the Christian
spirit that the home afforded.

  Mr. Kelly was born March 14, 1862, died Sept. 29, 1940.  He is
survived by his wife, 3 boys, 6 girls, 24 grandchildren. 6 great
grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn his death.  Active
pallbearers:  Dan MacMillan, Archie Self, Buck Chance, W. J. Morrison,
H. O. Calloway and Lona Miers.
