Stroke Fatal to Mrs. E. Kelly

Passed Away Friday Morning At Home of Daughter, Mrs. Roy W. Dawdy

Mrs. Elsie A. Kelley, 76, widow of the late Charles Kelley, died last Friday 
morning at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Roy W. Dawdy, following a stroke 
suffered one week previous.  Funeral services were held Sunday at the home, in 
charge of Rev. W. H. Irwin, pastor of the Methodist church of which she was a 
member, assisted by Rev. H. W. Ellinger, of Kalamazoo, and Rev. Winn, of 
Freeport, both old friends of the family.

Mrs. Kelley was the widow of the late Charles Kelley, who died about 15 years 
ago.  Her maiden name was Elsie VanHouten and she came to Sebewa with her 
parents when a young girl.  After her marriage to Mr. Kelley the couple 
continued to reside on a farm there until they moved to Portland shortly before 
the death of Mr. Kelley, since which time Mrs. Kelley has made her home with 
her daughter.

Besides the daughter, Mrs. Dawdy, she is survived by four brothers, Charles 
VanHouten, of Portland; Daniel, of Woodbury; John and George, of Edmore.
