The Ionia Daily Standard, Friday, June 5, 1896

John Kelley, one of Ionia’s oldest residents, died at the home of his son 
Edward in Grand Rapids yesterday, of pneumonia, having been sick for only a 
week.  One week ago yesterday he was in this city in the best of health, 
having just returned from the funeral of his daughter in Battle Creek.  The 
funeral will be held at SS. Peter & Paul’s church tomorrow morning at 8 
o’clock.

John Kelley, for many years an employee in the blacksmith shop at the D. L. & 
N. shops, but of late on the retired list, died at Grand Rapids, yesterday, at 
the home of his son Edward, of pneumonia.  The remains will arrive in Ionia on 
Saturday for interment.

Mrs. Thos. Renkes and children, and Wm. Kelly, of Battle Creek; Robert Kelley, 
of Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Kelley, of Grand Rapids and Daniel Kelley, of
