KELLEY No date Cuba friends were greatly shocked last Friday morning, July 13, to learn of the sudden death of Peter K. KELLEY, the genial landlord of the Hotel Kelley at Caneadea. Pete, as he was known to his hosts of friends, had been in his usual health until Thursday morning, when he was taken with an attack of acute indigestion. A physician was called and Mr. KELLEY seemed much better, but he was taken suddenly worse about 4 o'clock Friday morning and passed away before his relatives could be called to his bedside, his wife alone being present when death came. Peter KELLEY was born in Caneadea, Oct. 14, 1865, and is survived by his wife and one daughter, Carmelita; one sister, Agnes KELLEY of Belfast, and two brothers, Frank of Belfast and Thomas of Fort Worth, Texas; also two Nieces, Mrs. Vern DYE of Fillmore and Mrs. James BURNS of Buffalo. Mr. KELLEY was formerly a resident of Cuba, and had many friends here. About eighteen years ago he moved to his native town of Caneadea and bought the hotel which he conducted until his death. The funeral took place Monday forenoon at the late home of the deceased, where a short service was held, interment being made at Belfast. It is said to have been the largest ever seen in that community, a testimonial of the high regard in which Mr. KELLEY was held by all his friends and neighbors. A frank, honest, straightforward man, always the same and to all the same, he will be greatly missed in his community. [Transcribed by Louise Y.
