Kelley, William P. (? - 14 Aug. 1877)

Wm. P. Kelley, came from Ithaca, N.Y., in 1857, and engaged in the lumber business. He was senior partner of the firm of Wm. P. Kelley & Bro. Being engaged in log driving, he was severely exposed to the vicissitudes of a Wisconsin Winter, and his health being precarious, he went to Florida with his family and spent the Winter of 1876. He afterward went to Colorado and returned as far as Chicago, where he was overtaken by death Aug. 14, 1877. He was a kind and courteous gentleman, unassuming and kind. He left a wife and several children. Was buried under Masonic rites.
