taken i'll, but servant who discovered his condi-
ton summoned the president of the association |
and Mr.. Bond. The services of DR.. Stanton were !
Immediately secured but his efforts were of no |
avail, as Mr. Kelly died soon after his arrival. Mr.
Kelly, who was large man, had been apparently |
in the best OF health up to the time when he re-
tired to his room. Mr.. Kelly leaves wife and !
five children, who were notified of his death by |
telegraph. Arrangements were made with Under |

Rerer appointed for the purpose reported the fol-
lowing resolutions which were adopted:
Whereas on Saturday, January y, 1881, at quarter
past four o'clock p. H. at the Imperial Hotel, in the
city of Washington, Captain Henry B. Kelly editor |
and publisher OF the Allen County (Oho) Democrat.
was suddenly summoned from time to eternity and |
whereas he had for many years been one OF the
ton, and for series of years identified with the
press of Ohio; and whereas his death occurred |
while the association was on its annual excursion
for recreation and enjoyment it is therefore
deemed right and proper that some fitting notice |
be taken by his surviving brethren OF the quill of
this sad event: Therefore
Reso!rtd That we deeply regret his sudden
death, removing him as it does from the field of
usefulness lie so long and ably occupied as the
editor and publisher of one of the leading journals
of the northwestern section of the State and which
had wide circulation not only i'll the county in
which ne resided, but in those contiguous to it.
ResOlred, That i'll the characteristics of Captain
Henry B. Kelly, our deceased friend and brother,
were found blended many noble traits worthy of
and which so largely contributed to his popularity
in he, counties in which he best known
and won for him the warm regard and esteem ola
wiGelyextended circle of warm-hearted, admiring
friends.
ReSolrcd, That in the death of Mr. Kelly the press
of Ohio is called upon TO mourn the loss of one of
Interests ana
one who was always ready when his services were
needed to assist III developing any new scheme by
which the art preserVative of all arts could be adj
vanced and promoted.
Reso,rcd, That we tender to the widow and
children of our deceased friend and brother our
Sympathies i'll this the hour of their sad bereave-
Inent, and commend 10 them the source of comfort
and coincidence in such trying ordeal to be
found i'll the records Of Him who, when
upon Garth, bound up the broken hearts and
wiped the tear of sorrow from the Hourners eye.
RCSOlred, That copy of these resolutions be pre-
sented to the journals Of this city. with a request
to be published; copy, atteSted by the commit
tee be sent TO the family of the deceased, and that
as mark of esteem and regard for him they be
spread on the journal of the association.
