William F. Kelch died at the county home on Saturday morning at 2.30,
of paralysis, aged 65 years.  He had been a resident of Hollidaysburg
for forty years.  He was a cabinet maker by occupation and was
employed at the McFarland furniture rooms for many years.   About two
weeks ago, he was stricken with paralysis at his boarding house at the
county capital, and was removed to the almshouse.  He was a veteran of
the Civil War.  The only surviving relatives are two brothers, James
and Joseph, of Philadelphia.  The funeral services were held in the
Grand Army of the Republic post room, at Hollidaysburg Monday
afternoon at 2, after which interment was made in the Lutheran
