RETIRED BROKER IS DEAD.

Tom Kelley, Active in Public
Affairs, Expires After Long Illness.
--------------------------

Thomas Arthur Kelley, member of one of Cleveland's oldest families, died
early yesterday morning, May 16th, 1910, in his home, 1806 E. 19th-st,
after a long illness.

Mr. Kelley, for years a stock broker with down town offices, who was
known all his life as Tom Kelley, was born in Clevelnd sixty-one years
ago, and had always lived here. His father, Judge Thomas Moore Kelley,
lived and died in Cleveland, and his grandfather, Daniel Kelley, was one
of the early settlers in this part of the State. Kelley's Island derives
its name from Daniel Kelley.

The death of Mr. Kelley occurred within sight of the spot where for many
years stood the old Kelley mansion, at E. 18th-st, and Euclid-Ave.
General Harrison was entertained there when en-route to his inauguration
in Washington. The old homestead was razed some time ago, and in its
place stands a modern bsiness block.

Tom Kelley was active in every public enterprise, and was prominent in
the city before his retirement from business, He was active in working
with the Adjudgement Generals office as well as helping to write
articles for the local newspapers, along with S.L. Kelley, and historian
Henry Howe.

In 1873, he was married to Miss Eva Adelaide Megrue, daughter of Major
Conduce Gatch Megrue.

Shortly after his retirement, Mr.Kelley withdrew his membership from the
Union Club, and several other prominent organizations of the city,
including Oriental Commadery 12, Knights Templers. He retained a life
membership in Tyrain Lodge 370, F. and A.M.

Besides his widow, Arthur M. Kelley, of Utica, a son; Mrs Charles Crantz
Perkins of Pasadena, California, a daughter, and Mrs Alice K. Cole of
New York city, his sister, survive.

The funeral will be held at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon at St. Pauls

where burial will be made.
