Kelly, perhaps one of the most widely known residents of this city, died in Rochester, Minnesota, on Wednesday of last week following an operation for gall stones, a short mention of which appeared in the Frontier of last week. John D. Kelly was born in Calumet, Michigan, December 3, 1873. When stilj a small child he came to Holt county with his parents, who located upon a homesetad four miles north east of O’Neill where they lived for a short time. The family moved to Leadville, Colorado, where they made their home fro a few years, going from there to Humboldt, Illinois, where they located in the community in which his mother’s relatives resid ed. The family remained for eleven years in Humboldt, when they re turned to Holt county where his parents resided until death claimed each of them. In May 1900 he was united in mar riage to Miss Mary Harrington, of O’Neill. They made their home on the old homestead until 1912 when they moved to O’Neill and built a modern home in the northeast part of the city. Mr. Kelly continued his operations of farming and stockrais ing although he resided in the city. On February 11th, accompanied by Dr. Finley, he went to Rochester, Min nesota, where, on the 17th he submit ted to an operation for gall stones. He seemed to recover from the effects of the operation, but the following day he began to show weakness and rapidly became worse until death claimed him at 4:30 o’clock on the 18th. His wife and a cousin, Wm. P. Kelly, of Omaha, were with him when he passed to the great beyond. The deceased is survived by his wife and a host of relatives and friends. He leaves no brothers or sisters, he was the only child of his parents. The death of John D. Kelly takes from us a comparatively young man who has been an active, vigorous man and has worked hard that he might help build the community in which he lived. He was a man liked by all who knew him and who enjoyed a host of friends throughout the county. The funeral services were held from St. Patrick’s church, Sunday morn ing, conducted by Rev. M. F. Cassidy. Burial was made in Calvary cemetery. The following relatives were here from a distance to attend the funeral services for the late John D. Kelley: John D. Harrington and Peter D. Harrington, accompanied by their sons, Dan and Peter, of Humboldt, Illinois, uncles and cousins; Wm. P. Kelly and Miss Agnes Kelly, of Oma ha, cousins; Mrs. H. P. Hansen, of Verdigris, cousin; Daniel J. Kelly, of Winnetoon, cousin; Mr. and Mrs. D. D. Harrington, of Wisner, cousins; F. D. Harrington, of Omaha; Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Snyder, of Columbus, Ne braska; Mr. and Mrs. Walter Wil rodt and Dennis J. Harrington, of Omaha. CARD OF THANKS.

FASHION ANNOUNCES SPRING with new styles and colors in mil linery—Donnelly & Dillon. 39-1 Over a period of years THE Ford car has remained the undisputed leader for value in the motoring world. There are certain fundamental reasons why this is true. It is a car, properly designed and staunchly constructed, having a motor which has proved itself reliable, long-lived and economical It is adequately serviced by an organization reaching to every community and neighborhood. These com- _ , _ , bine to give the Ford car the highest resale value in ludor bedan proportion to list price. And as production volume of the Ford has grown the purchase price has been steadily reduced.
