H. L. Kelly, a pioneer of 1859, died this morning after an illness
of several years. He came across the plains in an ox cart
with his brother, the late E. D. Kelly.
For many years Mr. Kelly was one of the most prominent citizens
in Oregon City. He served several terms as City Councilman,
was a member and the clerk of the Oregon City School Board, acted
as assistant cashier for the Bank of Oregon City, held an
important position with the Portland Flouring Mills when they were
located here, and worked on several lines of river boats.
He is survived by his widow, three sons, Fielding, Layton and
Roy, and four daughters, Miss May Kelly, of Portland; Mrs. E. A.
Chapman, Miss Bess Kelly and Miss Mina Kelly. |
