KELLEY, Mrs. Ellen McMahon

"Mrs. Ellen Kelley, 86 years old, one of the oldest and most widely known residents of Connellsville, died Tuesday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock at her home, 136 West Apple street. Mrs. Kelley was born in County Monahan, Ireland, May 14, 1833, a daughter of Patrick and Sarah McMahon. When she was 17 years old her family came to this country, settling at Tunnelton, W. Va., where her father was engaged in pioneer railroad construction. The deceased was married September 9, 1854, at Parkersburg, W.Va., to James Kelley. To this union seven children were born as follows: Misses Sally, Ellen, Bridget and Mary and Patrick, James E and William Kelley. The latter went West in 1889 and his whereabouts is unknown. At the time of her marriage Mrs. Kelley's family was living at Silver Run, W. Va. After spending 16 years of her married life at Silver Run, Mr. and Mrs. Kelley and family moved to Sand Patch where Mr. Kelley died in 1860. In 1872, Mrs. Kelley with her children came to Connellsville, where she purchased the old Graham property on Water street. She conducted a hotel there and in 1887 the structure was replaced by a modern brick building which for years has been known as the Kelley house. In 1909 Mrs. Kelley disposed of her Water street property, retiring from active business. She built her present home in West Apple street, residing there since. The deceased was a member of the Immaculate Conception church and of the Altar Rosary society of that church; Mrs. Kelley was very charitable, her work, among the poor being carried on in a very humble way. She was respected and loved by all who knew her. Mrs. Kelley had a remarkable memory, being able to interestingly, relate incidents happening many years ago. The surviving children are Miss Mary Kelley and James E.Kelley, both at home. Two brothers, Hugh McMahon, of Frostburg, Md.,and Joseph McMcMahon, who made his home with Mrs. Kelly, also survive.  Funeral from the house Friday morning at 8.30 o'clock and at 9 o'clock from the Immaculate Conception church.

KELLEY, Peter (see also KELLY)  (abridged)

PETER KELLEY FOUND DEAD ~ He Was Division Superintendent on the C. & 0. Canal. DEATH CAUSES A SHOCK.
He Was in Good Spirits Yesterday and Went to Bed on the Company's Boat Seemingly Well ~ This Morning He Was Found Dead in Bed
This community was greatly shocked when it became known that Mr Peter Kelley had been found dead this morning at 6 o'clock.  Mr Kelley was division superintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, his territory extending to dam No 6, a distance of 50 miles.  In fact he may be said to have been raised along the canal.  He came here when quite a little boy, and as soon as he was old enough went to driving mules on that waterway.  He was later made captain of a boat and boated several years between this city and Georgetown. He was next made section boss and after the Johnstown flood was made division superintendent which position he held up to the time of his death.  Mr Kelley was on the streets here yesterday and those who talked with him state that they never saw him in better spirits. Repairs are being made to one of the culverts on the canal about five miles below this city and Mr. Kelley was superintending the work. He came up in town yesterday after some cement.  He went to his home on the Oldtown road, got his dinner and left at three o'clock, steering the mud scow that carried the cement to the place where it was needed.  The company's boat is stationed at the aqueduct, four miles east of here. Mr. Kelley and the men who worked with him returned to the boat at 6 o'clock last evening, ate their supper, after which Mr. Kelley talked with the men in a jovial way until bed time, when he retired to his bed on the boat. It was his custom to rise at four o'clock in the morning and as he did not do so this morning, some one was sent to call him, when it was found that he had died during the night. He was lying upon his left side. He was subject to severe attacks of asthma and it is thought that he choked to death.  As soon as it was learned that Mr. Kelley was dead the coroner went to the scene and viewed the remains, after which they were taken in charge by Undertaker Stein, who prepared the body for burial after which it was removed to the late home of the deceased. Mr Kelley would have been 68 years of age had he lived until the 14th of next month. He was elected to the City Council on the Democratic ticket from the sixth ward, serving three terms in that body. He was a great friend of the late Senator A. P. Gorman and one of his most ardent supporters in the days when Mr. Gorman had to fight manfully to retain his supremacy.  The deceased was also a member of the South Cumberland Volunteer Fire Co., having been one of the organizers of that company. He was a life long member of St Patrick's church.  He is survived by his wife and the following children: Edward of Woodward, Ga, Robert, James, John and William Kelley.  Mrs Ellen Hillary, Mrs Kate Miller and Miss Lena Kelley, all of this city.

One of the oldest residents of the city peacefully passed away at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Lucy Holliday, 708 Thirteenth street, at 2 o'clock this morning. Her death was the result of diseases incident to old age and, while it naturally came as a shock to her children and friends, her demise was not unexpected. She was born in Somerset County, MD (sic) on June 22, 1833, and came to this city in 1863. Her husband, John Kelley, has been dead for many years and she is survived by two sons and three daughters who mourn the loss of a kind and faithful mother. Her surviving children are Jesse F. and William, Mrs. Clara Beason and Mrs. Rebecca Beason, all of this city, and Misses Sarah and Annie at home. The deceased lady was a member of the second Lutheran church and her life was an exposition of the Christian virtues. Kind, sympathetic, and unobtrusive, she leaves many friends outside the immediate circle of her family who will miss her presence in the community. The funeral arrangements have not been completed but the interment will take place on Saturday afternoon.

Death of Peter Kelly
Peter Kelly is dead at Borden Shaft in his 76th year.  Mr Kelly was born in Ireland and came to this country when very young, settling with his parents at Hancock in this State and it is said his father's remains were the first interred in that place.  Peter Kelly worked on construction of the B & O railroad through Cumberland and no man had a larger circle of acquaintances than he.  He was in business in Lonaconing many years and is well known here.  His widow, who survives him, was a sister of the late Father Michael J Brannon of Cumberland and deceased was an uncle of Father John Bean of Frostburg.  Mr Kelly is survived by sons, John and Frank, Borden Shaft and Peter of Frostburg and five daughters: Mrs John Park, Frostburg; Mrs Annie Shonskey of Lonaconing; Mrs John W Dailey, Borden Shaft and Miss Annie Kelly of the same place and 23 grandchildren.  Mr Kelly enjoyed good health until January when he contracted dysentery and a few days before his death, he was prostrated by a stroke.
