Saturday, April 24, 1915 - OBITUARY.

Nancy Elizabeth ANDERSON was the second daughter of J. W. and Emily
ANDERSON of Macgoupin County, Ill., having six brothers and five
sisters, five of whom survive her. She was born in Macgoupin County,
March 8th, 1847.

In 1858 the family moved to Johnson County, Mo., and from thence
during the Civil War, to Linn County, Kan., in 1863. At this place
she was joined to W. R. KELLEY in the bonds of wedlock, July the 15,
1866. They made their home in Wilson County, Kans., from 1869 to
1892. At this time government claims were to be had in Oklahoma, and
they moved to one in Kingfisher County, where they resided until Mr.
KELLEY was elected sheriff in 1898, when they moved to Kingfisher.

To this union were born Chas. M. KELLEY of Watonga, Mrs. Amos EWING of
Guthrie, Walter KELLEY of Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. E. U. SLOAN of
Kingfisher, Mrs. H. J. HILL of Twin Falls, Idaho, and Miss Carrie
KELLEY, well known to us all.

This is the first bereavement that has come to the lot of this family
in forty-nine years, save that of an infant daughter, Lucy Maude
KELLEY, who died forty-two years ago.

Mrs. KELLEY became a member of the New Light Christian church, in Wils
on County, Kans., about 1874. On coming to Oklahoma, she united with
the Christian church of this city from which her membership has never
been moved.

Twenty-five years have passed since Mrs. KELLEY could say that she was
in fine health. Last Decoration Day she went to Guthrie and on coming
home complained of not feeling well. From that time to the day of her
death she has never left the town. Since April 1st, all the children
and Mr. KELLEY have been continually at her bedside. Mrs. HILL has
never trusted herself away from the sick chamber one night since
taking up the vigil. All were present when she passed away peacefully
after a long siege of terrible suffering.
