John Kelliher is Dead

Aged Resident of the City Passed Away on Saturday Last

In the death of John Kelliher, whose demise occurred in this city on Saturday last, Kewaunee loses one of its oldest residents and the county county one of its pioneer settlers. The primary cause of his death was from the infirmaties of old age, although until a few weeks ago deceased enjoyed exceptionally good health for a man of his mature age. His constitution was always robust and those who saw him only a few months ago were confident that he had many years to live. The announcement of his death was therefore a surprise, except perhaps, to his immediate family and nearest friends.

John Kelliher was a native of County Cary [sic], Irelands, where he was born 82 years ago. He came to this country in 1854 and settled in the town of Casco, where he remained until nineteen years ago and then removed to this city. Several years ago he became an inmate of the soldiers' home Milwaukee, but spent most of the summer months in this city with his relatives and friends and of the latter he had legions, for his was a disposition to draw people to him. Last summer, as was his custom, he returned to Milwaukee, but did not remain their long, as his health was failing him, andhe came back here to reside for the remainder of his days.

In his younger days he served his country by enlisting in the army when the call came for troops and served as a private in the 14th Wisconsin. In this capacity he won no golden epaulets, but he filled his post with valor and fought with as much zeal as those who wore the spurs of greater distinction.

At the close of the war he returned to his farm in Casco, where he continued to reside until shortly after his death of his weife, which occurrred twenty years ago. He was the father of seven children, John Kelliher of this city being one of the number. The Funeral was held on Monday from the residence of his son in this city, interment being in the Catholic Cemetery in Slovan. Rev. Fr. Kirpal of this ciety performed the last sad rites.
