DANIEL KELLEY.
On Sunday morning Feb. 22d, Mr.. Daniel
Kelley, town treasurer of RidgeWay; aged thirty
years.
Mr.. Daniel Kelley, the son of Mr.. James Kelley,
was born and grew to manhood in the town of
Ridgeway. His family is one OF the best known
and most highly respected in the township. Mr..
Daniel was most highly esteemed for his honesty
and integrity and his early death has left
vacancy in the town hard to fill. He was mar
ricd two years ago, having bought farm and
gave promise of being one of our reliable, ener-
getic men. But a few months since he contracted
= cold which settled on his lungs and gradually
drew his life strength away. Advised by learned
medical counsel he went to Colorado and Cali
fornia i'll search of health, but all in vain: he
returned home, but to die. Using all human
power to aid him, by consulting the best and
most experienced physicians IN this vicinity,
he gave up all hopes of prolonging his life, and
devoted himself to an earnest preparation for
eternity; frequently receiving the sacraments
of Peuance and Holy Eucharist. Finally, when
death was apparent with sorrow his good pastor,
Father Luby, administered the last Sacrament of
Extreme Unction.
The funeral took place on TUESDAY the 9th.
His brother Father Kelley. of Chicago, was
present, filled with sorrow, especially as his
home is sad for a short time since his mother
was killed by the tornado that swept through
Cobb. The high regard and respect in which
Mr.. Kelley was held was plainly and strikingly
shown by the very large number that attended
his funeral. Ridgeway Arena, Mineral Point
| and WaldWick were represented strongly by
sympalhiZing friends; los teams forming the
funeral cortege. The church was draped in
mourning and the solemn services of the Catho-
lie church were in accord with the feelings of
the people, every creed and nationality of this
county were there represented TO do honor to
the departed treasurer of the town.
Father Luby was celebrant of the mass, Father
Weinhardt, Deacon, and Father O'heefe, Sub
Deacon. Miss Miller presided at the organ and
the mournful strains of the Gregorian Requiem
Chant seemed to cast over the assembled multi
tude a feeling of quiet, subdued, christian sor-
row. After mass Father O'Keefe. laid aside the
Dalmatc, assumed the stole and delivered a
most appropriate and affective sermon. The
text was from st. Paul TO the Thu lonians, list
Epistle, chap H. u and Is verses. The speakerin
brief manner spoke of the deceased as he de-
served and during the sermon sobs and signs
were heard through the church. strong men wept
and young men thought how soon they also
might pass away. Sorrow, mixed with christian
hope would impress the Indifferent beholder.
After the sermon Rev. Father Wenhardt of
st. Mary's church, Mineral Point, laid aside the
Delmatic of the Deacon, assumed the cope and
began the Liberia or Final Absolution. This
finished, the services were over and Father
Luby announced that those who wished might
pass through the aisle and view the corpse. The
services at the church completed, the funeral
procession formed and accompanied the body 10
the grave. There his brother. Father Kelley,
read the last sad rites and placed his dear de-
parted brother in the grave.
