Death of Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly.

On last Sunday at eleven o'clock a. H.,
Mrs. Elizabeth Kelly passed away after
weeks illness, at the family residence,
7l9 Jefferson street northeast. The de-
ceased lady was the rclict of tho late
Michael G. Kelly, q former we'll known

IA years ago. Her maiden name was
Elizabeth Thompson and she was born
in Kings county, Ireland in 1897. When
quite young she came to St. Paul, Min
marriage to Mr.. Kelly, which event was
solemnjZcd 81 years ago by Rev. John
Ireland, now archbishop of st. Paul.
Shortly after their marriage they remov-
children to mourn their deep anIlction;
they are Edward, the eldest, residing at
Fargo. N. d.; Frank. OF this city, and
daughter, Mrs. M. r. Bremen OF Chicago,
who was with her mother durin gthe clos
ing days Of her life. The funeral was held
on Wednesday morning last from the
church of st. Anthony of Padua, where
requiem mass was celebrated by Rev.
James O'icilly, who delivered a brief
but impressive sermon, in which, among
other things, he stated that the highest
eulogy he could pronounce was that she
was good Catholic mother. At the
conclusion of the mass the remains were
taken to st. Anthony cemetery and laid
to rest beside the body of her husband
in the family lot. All the members of
the family together with Mr. Bremen,
Of Chicago, were In attendance at the
funeral.

that the Lyceum theater be secured for
the lectures by Miss Come and MIR. Egan

OF the children Of the church here on
earth, except through fidelity to every
Christian duty, and consistent devotion
to the unchanging principles of truth
and virtue. It is plainly our Christian
duty to honor their memories, and vea-

for memorials Of them, and to win for
them the admiration of men because of
their unselfish and holy lives. But a
higher duty still is ours, namely the
duty Of realizing for ourselves the conf

leading pure and upright Christian lives.
