The Ionia Standard, Friday, October 29, 1885

L. M. Kelsey died very suddenly on Saturday.  He was working in the field and 
was suddenly attacked by heart disease.  He went to the house and Dr. Allen 
was called.  He got better and appeared comfortable through the day, but grew 
worse and died suddenly at night.  Heart disease seems hereditary, as his 
brother, “Treat,” died suddenly, dropping in the road in 1862, and his father 
and a sister died of the same disease.  “Tip,” as he was familiarly known, was 
born in Monroe county, N.Y., in 1840 and his nickname is a reminiscence of the 
famous “Tippecanoe and Tyler, too” campaign.  He came to Michigan with his 
parents in 1854.  He was a successful farmer and one of our most exemplary 
citizens who will be sadly missed.  The funeral was held at the residence on 
Tuesday afternoon.
