      page 1, column 3
      —The funeral of W.S. Kelly, who died at his home northwest of town on Thursday, Feb. 3, was held Sunday and interment was in Sunnyside cemetery. The remains were followed to their last resting place by a large number of friends.
      —The services were simple, Rev. Nelson reading a short sketch of the career of the deceased, after which the benediction was pronounced and all that was mortal of W.S. Kelly was consigned to its last resting place.
      —Winfield Scott Kelly was born in Middletown, Ohio, July 23, 1842. Died in Lahoma, Okla., Feb. 3, 1910.
      —Leaving school at the age of 18, he enlisted in the Union army and served in the 129th Illinois volunteer infantry, Company A, under Generals Thomas, Hooker and Harrison until peace was established and the remnant of the army mustered out.
      —He then entered college in Chicago, and after graduation, entered the profession of law before the supreme court of Illinois. He later removed to Indiana where in 1875 he united in marriage with Jennie Thorne. One son, Wayne Scott, was born in 1876. The wife and son survive.
      —In 1882 the family moved to Kansas, residing in various parts of the state until the opening of the Cherokee Strip, when they removed here with the first settlers and have since resided.
      —Mr. Kelly died of cancer of the stomach. His death was painless – he just went to sleep.
      —He requested that his body be examined and the exact cause of death determined that it might help others. This was done and proved that the diagnosis of the physician in charge was absolutely correct and that all that was possible had been done for him. …
