Kelly, pastor of St. Matthew's Catholic church here, died at the local parsonage at five o'clock this morning after a long illness, aged about 58 years. Father Kelly had been lying in an unconscious state for several days. The funeral will take place from St. Matthew's on Tuesday morning, the office of the dead to be chanted by the priests of the Altoona Diocese at 10 o'clock. A solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated later in the morning. It is probable burial will be made in Pittsburg. Gregory Kelly was born in Pittsburg and was educated at St. Michael's Seminary where the Rt. Rev. Mons. John Boyle, Vicar General of the Altoona Diocese, was one of the instructors at the time. Kelly was ordained in Pittsburg by the late Rev. Richard Phalen of the Pittsburg Diocese and served several Pittsburg charges before being transferred to SS. Philip and James church, Meyersdale. At the time the Rev. Father Philip Bolan was made rector of St. Patrick's church, Johnstown, Father Kelly was transferred to Tyrone as his successor there. The Rev. Father McCarthy who was ordained a year of so ago at Altoona by Bishop Garvey has since been here serving as assistant to Father Kelly. All of the Rev. Kelly's relatives are dead except Thos. Kelly who makes his home here at St. Matthew's parsonage.
