The Last Sad Rites
The funeral of the late Thomas Kelley was held yesterday afternoon from the Park Baptist Church, conducted by the pastor, Rev. G. Owens Baxter, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery. There were many beautiful floral tributes.
Thomas Hardy Kelley was born on a farm eight miles northeast of Brookfield, October 5, 1868, and died in Tucson, Arizona, March 22, 1922, aged 53 years, 5 months and 17 days.
He was married to Mary Thorne, of Linneus, July 13, 1898. When only 19 years of age he went to Colorado, where the greater part of his life has been spent with the exception of about two years, when he was engaged in business in Linneus.
Studious and thoughtful and of broad experience, a self-made man, possessor of untiring effort he reached a high degree of recognition in civil, social, political and religious circles, a man who has left his impression and approval upon the minds of many men with whom he associated.
His letters, which came so regularly have been a pleasure and a source of great comfort, especially to the aged mother
He was a member of the Baptist Church in his home town, Durango, Colorado. He was a member of the House of Representatives from Laplata County, Colorado, for three successive terms. His health had been failing for a number of years, but his untiring effort to regain health and strength came to an end last Wednesday evening, March 22, at 6:30 o’clock.
The wife, the aged mother, Matilda E. Kelley, two brothers, C.E. and F.O. Kelley, two sisters, Mrs. J.W. pace of Brookfield, and Mrs. Murry Pace of Denver, together with other relatives and a host of friends, mourn the loss of him they loved so well.
