Re: [ARWASHIN] Clarification on my Obit Listings (Donal O'Kelly) Like cousin Don Kelly, I and many many northwest Arkanss researchers appreciate all you do to provide obituary information. Don is also related to Marcus L. Kelly is the M. L. Kelly, who made many of the gravestones we find in northwest AR cemeteries. Marcus was the son of Dr. Jesse R. Kelly, minister and doctor, who is buried in the Goshen Cemetery. Hiram Kelly filed patents for acerate Hiram Kelly and his son Joseph are buried in Austin Cemetery. The late, Willie Calico Bohannan, gg-grandaughter of Hiram & Elizabeth (McGee) Kelly, included an account of the Kelly family and the murder of her g grandfather Joseph KELLY in the series of articles published in the 1885 issues of Madison Musings, the quarterly publication of the Madison County Genealogical and Historical Soceity. Willie Doris Calico Bohannan’s account of the death of Joseph Kelly: "The 31st day of March 1863 had been a lovely one, but the last that Joseph Kelly would be privileged to spend with his devoted wife... It was a little after dark, and the family had just finished their supper when someone hollered “Hello” at the yard gate, only a few feet from the front of the house. Joseph expecting it to be a neighbor in need of help, stepped to the door to know who was calling... There was a single blast from a gun and Joseph lay dying ans struggling in his own blood." (page 160 -161, Madison County Musings, Vol IV Winter 1985 No 4.) The "Madison Musings" article includes a map identifying the locations of the family lands. The late Floy Crumley lived on a portion of the Hiram Kelly land on War Eagle. His grandson, Hiram Kelly Ellis purchased land at the intersection of 412 & 23 north toward Eureka Springs (relatives still live in that area). There is also information related to the Kelly Family in two issues of the Goodspeed Northwest Arkansas publications. Willie Calico Bohannan passed away last May, leaving a legacy rich with historical and family information. We all miss her.
