_______________
A telephone messge from H.M. Lord of Hickory, yesterday afternoon,
conveyed the sad news that John Kelly, a pioneer of Oconto county, was
almost instantly killed by a tree, which he had been chopping, falling
upon him. Mr. Kelly was well know in the city, highly respected, and a
member of the local order of Odd Fellows. Today, Charles Lynes and A.J.
Caldwell, representling the order, are at the home of the unfortunate man,
making arrangements for the funeral, which possibly may be held on Sunday.
Mr. Kelly was about 45 years of age, and married.
