AUDUBON RESIDENT

Howard Kelly, a prominent farm
er of>the st. John community, pass
ed away last Thursday while attend.
ing a sale near hts home in Weld
county. Funeral services were held
at st. Johns chapel Sunday and in
terment made in the Kimball ceme-
terry.
James Howard Kelly was born in
West Virginia. July "a, 1866, and
was called to his reward December
20, 1917, at the age of 81 years, 4
months and rs days.
The shock was very sudden to his
family and friends as he left home
in his usual good health, to attend
the Anciaux sale about Is miles
southeast of his home. While there
he took sick very suddenly at noon,
and passed away about an hour later.
When six month of age his par
ents moved to Pella, iowa, where his
boyhood days were spent. When
fourteen years of age he moved to
Audubon county, 10 wa, which was his
home until about eight years ago
when he came to Colorado, making
his home here until the time of his
death.
In 1889 he was united in marriage
to Renna James. Eight children
were born to this union, two boys and
six girls, they being Mrs. Lille Set
tlemire and Mrs. Lulu Terry of Au-
dubon, Iowa; Lyman Kelly and Mrs.
Dwight, Marie and Madeline at home
A daughter, Dixie Ruth, preceded her
father to the Great Beyond November
81, 1915.
In 1894 he united with the NJ E.
church at Audubon, Iowa, then later
with the Presbyterian church at St.
Johns chapel, Kimball, Nebr. He
was an earnest, devoted Christian,
working always for the benefit of
the community and church. Owing
to his untiring service he will be
greatly missed by all who knew him.
He was a devoted husband, loving
father and a friend to all.
In the church he held the office
of ruling elder, filling the position
as only true Christian working for
the good of his fellow men, could.
God, in removing from our midst
this loved one, has left vacancy
which can never be filled.
He leaves to mourn his loss his
wife, children. six grandchildren,
'hree sisters, Mrs. Grin Eddy. Mrs. c.
A. Petty and Mrs. Frank Sunberg,
and brother, Robert Kelly, all of
Audubon, Iowa and numerous friends
and other relatives.-Kimball (Neb. }
Record.
Mr.. Howard Kelly and-family re-
sided in Greeley township, Audubon
county, for number of years where
he was well known and highly re-
spected, having lived in this county
practically 20 years. He had num-
erous acquaintance who sympathize
with the widow, children and rela-
tives in this their saddest hour of
grief. His daughters, Mrs. Orvie
Terry and Mrs. Will Settlemire and
husband, and a sister, Mrs. o. w.
Eddy of Audubon, were in attendance
at the funeral.

LETTER FROM A. sEGEL

Fort Casey, Washington, Jan. I
Mr.. F. C. Miller,
Audubon, Iowa.
Dear Friend:
Well, we have been here little
more than week now and I am
getting a little used to the life.
We got here Christmas eve, after
being on the road five days. I did
not suppose it would take that long
and it would not on a regular pas
senger schedule, but we had a long
train, ~ or 10 coaches, and besides
we were delayed at several points.
At Seattle we were put on trans
port and taken about As miles Up
the Sound to Fort Casey Fort Casey
is on an island they say, but there
are several towns on it, the nearest
one however is about four miles
away. So we are in a rather out
Of the way place, hard to get to and
hard to leave.
Several of the boys from Audubon
county were taken to Fort Flagler.
Fort Flagler and Fort Worden can
be seen from this place. l have not
explored the fort very much yet, you
can't because you are liable to be
turned back by guard at most
amy point. We have not been ex-
amined yet nor have we been vac
cinated. They ran snort of exami-
nation blanks SO very few have been
before the doctor. / don't know IL
any of us will be rejected but do
not think so. However, not all will
get across to France because they
will be more particular who they
take over there.
+ am at present in Battery<C, 63
Field Artillery. This regiment Is
supposed to go across soon, 2 in a
month or six weeks they think, The
smallest guns are TO be six inclks
and everything will be mounted on
moor trucks.
We have not drilled very much
yet. There is no good place here to
do any drilling. 1t rains nearly ev-
cry day SO 1t ii always muddy, and
the drill ground Is under water part
of the time. The rest. of the country
is hips, thickly wooded You can see
snow capped mountains from here.
We haven't been issued any cloth
ing yet and probably wont for a week
or-so. We have two blankets apiece
now and cot, but at first some of
us had to rough it for few days.
We are in a new camp built like
Camp Dodge only smaller. it is DIP
on hill back of sac Fort barracks.
Some of the boys are down there.
They have everything just like
hotel.
1t is not cold here. the ground has
not been frozen since we landed, and
l guess it does not freeze at ALL
see by the paper that you have had
another cold spell in Iowa. Hope
to get a line from you Some time If
you are still in Audubon.
Yours truly,
A. Segel..
