quite young came to America locating at Louisville, Ky., where he remained for 
about six years after which he came to Sand Patch. He married Miss Mary Courtney 
44 years ago and to this union nine children were born. Mr. Kelley after coming 
to Sand Patch secured employment with the B. & O. railroad in whose service he 
remained until about four years ago, when he was obliged to retire on account of 
suffering from rheumatism and since that time he was on the company's pension 
list. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. Thomas 
Courtney, Mrs. Thomas Brachen, and John, James and Malachi and Robert Kelley,
