JUDGE J.P. KELLY DEAD - One of Tazewell's Prominent and Most
Public-Spirited Citizens Passes Away.
Judge James P. KELLY, of this place, died at five o'clock pm on last
Sunday. In his death one of the landmarks of Tazewell is gone. It would be
difficult, if not impossible, to find a man who has done more for the
improvement and advancement of the town and the welfare of this fellowman,
than has Judge KELLY. To him, is due the quietness and order or our
streets on public days. Through his influence came about much of the love
for beautifying the home which makes this town one of note for beauty and
cleanliness. The town of Kelly, named for him, owes it's growth largely to
him. His demise leaves a vacancy which cannot be filled, and it is with
genuine regret that we shall miss his kindly smile and cordial greeting. The
funeral took place Monday afternoon at five o'clock from the Presbyterian
church, Rev. B. W. S. BISHOP officiating. The pallbearers were:
Active, James W. SPOTTS, William PEIRCE, W. T. GILLESPIE,
Dr. R.B. GILLESPIE, George W. ST. CLAIR, E. L.
GREEVER, W.T. WITTEN, and H.W. O'KEEFFE. Honorary. A.J.
MAY, J.R. GILDERSLEEVE, S.C. GRAHAM, James O'KEEFFE,
J. C. SPOTTS, R.R. HENRY, George W. GILLESPIE, and I.E.
CHAPMAN. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved
relatives.
