KELLY FUNERAL HELD TOMORROW 

Body of Former Resident, Whose Death Has Caused Wide Spread Sorrow Here, 
  Brought to Suffolk Today. 

  Hugh Day Kelly, son of Jacob Holladay Kelly, and the late Mamie Brothers 
Kelly, died at the Memorial Hospital, Richmond, Va., yesterday afternoon. 
Funeral services will be conducted at the residence of his father, 200 N. 
Broad street, Saturday morning at 11 o'clock, the Rev. H.S. Hardcastle 
officiating. 

  Mr. Kelly is survived by his widow, who was Miss Bernice Harraway, of 
Danville; two brothers, Jacob H. Kelly, Jr., of Great Bridge, Va., and 
Patrick Kelley, of this city; four sisters, Miss Mamie Kelly, Mrs. Harry 
Shea, Mrs. Julian Daughtrey and Miss Elizabeth Kelly, of Suffolk; two 
nephews and one niece. 

  Active pallbearers are cousins of the deceased, Ernest Jones, Herman Jones, 
William Jones, Claude Dennis, Jr., L.H. Norfleet, Jr., Carroll Goodrich, of 
Smithfield, Dr. Wood Campbell and R.H. Brinkley.  Friends of Mr. Kelly are 
requested to act as honorary pallbearers. 

  The body of Mr. Kelly was brought to Suffolk this morning from Richmond 
where he died as the result of gas apshyxiation, it is thought.  Although 
there has been talk of foul play in connection with his injuries, the Richmond 
police appear not to have placed any credence in this report which has been 
circulated here. 

  Hugh Kelly was very popular here and his death has caused widespread regret 
among his host of friends.
