Mr. Keliher's death followed an illness of eighteen months, not always bedfast, yet at tikmes his condition became so critical that recovery seemed impossible. He had a rugged constitution, and he would rally, but having lived full four score years, his continued illness gradually weakened him and the end came Saturday evening. At the funeral were his daughter Miss Hannah, sons Tim of Chicago, James of Council Bluffs, Ed of Omaha and John. For overe forty years John Keliher had been a respected resident of North Platte and for nearly as many years a efficient employee of the Union Pacific. In the early days of orth Platte he was prominent in all phases of the town's life---politically, socially, religiously, progressively. He held offices within the gift of the voters and these he filled creditably and honestly; he was fair with his fellow many; and enjoyed their esteem and their confidence. He possessed the Irish wit, could tell a story well, and was a companionable man. John Keliher was man we all thought much of and it is regretted that his life could not be extended beyond the four score period.
