      MICHAEL V. KELLY,
  
  [p. 854] justice of the peace of Ellwood City, was formerly engaged in
  agricultural pursuits in Butler County, but since locating here has
  conducted a confectionery business. He was born in Venango County,
  Pennsylvania, November 27, 1847, and is a son of David and Sarah
  (Kellerman) Kelly.
  
  The parents of Mr. Kelly were both natives of Butler County where the
  family of ten children was born and reared. The father died in his old
  home there and the mother passed away in Ellwood City, some years later.
  Their children were as follows: Leo, who died in infancy; Theodore, who
  was accidentally killed in 1883; Mary Susan, who died in 1871; Michael
  V., Ellwood City; Andrew L., who lives Clarion County, Pennsylvania;
  James B., who died aged eight years; Matilda, who died in infancy;
  Elizabeth A., who is the wife of Thomas Patterson, of Ellwood City;
  David F., who met death while engaged in lumbering in Forest County,
  Pennsylvania; and Jacob Joseph, who resides in Butler County.
  
  Michael V. Kelly attended the district schools in Butler County, during
  his boyhood and later spent two years at a Seminary connected with the
  Catholic Church, in which faith he was carefully reared. After leaving
  school he taught in Butler County for several years and then engaged in
  farming until 1900, when he came to Ellwood City. During his period of
  residence here Mr. Kelly has become a well known, prosperous and useful
  citizen, and in February, 1908, he was elected a justice of the peace,
  an office for which he is thoroughly qualified. Mr. Kelly is identified
  with the Democratic party. He belongs to the congregation of St.
  Agatha's Roman Catholic Church at Ellwood City.
