| Mrs. Lucy Wattrous Kelly, wife of E. D. Kelly, died at the home of her son-in-law,
Chief of Police Charles E. Burns, at 6:15
o'clock tonight. She had been in feeble health for some time, and an attack of
grip hastened her death. She was born April 7,
1831, in Livingstone County, New York, and was married to Mr. Kelly in 1852 at
Grand Blanc, Mich. They crossed the plains to
Oregon in 1853 and in 1856 returned by way of the Isthmus, again coming West
to California across the plains in 1859, and from
there to Oregon, where they have since resided. Mrs. Kelly is survived by a husband
and three children, Charles W. Kelly and
Mrs. Maggie Burns, of Oregon City, and John W. Kelly, of Portland. Seven grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren also survive
her. |
