An Old Settler Gone

Death of Patrick Kelley, Who Came Here in 1849

Patrick Kelley, one of the early settler of this city, died Monday
afternoon at his residence, corner of Bowen and Ceape streets, of disease
of the kidneys.  Although the nature of his ailment had confined him to the
house for some time, he was able until a few days ago, to attend to all his
business affairs, and he retained all his facilities until the last.  Mr.
Kelley was a native of Limerick, Ireland, where he was born February 17,
1818.  He emigrated to America in 1848 and came to Oshkosh in 1849, where
he has since resided.  For many years he was a drayman and by industry and
frugality had accumulated quite a valuable estate.  He owned considerable
property in this city and Chicago.  He leaves two sons and three daughters,
Wm J. Kelley, George Kelley, Eva Kelley , and Mrs. T. W. Reilly of this
city and Mrs. James Lynch of Chicago.  His wife died eleven years ago.  The
funeral will be held on Wednesday morning.  The funeral cortege will leave
the home at eight o'clock and proceed to St. Peter's church, where the
service will be held.
