1837-Archibald B. Kelly. -1912.
TVTO better Immigration ever reached the
' soil of our Republic than that of the
Scotch-Irish poople who sought a home
In western Pennsylvania; By their en
thronement of the Word of God above all
human authority, by their faith Iu the
Lord Jesus Christ, and by their fidelity
to what they believed to be His will con
cerning tbem, they left their Impress for
good on everything that tended toward
the uplift of humanity. To such a people
belonged our honored friend and neigh
bor, Mr. Archibald Bennett Kelly, whose
death, at 3:15 p. ra., Tuesday, August 13,
1012, removes from our midst one of the
rarest specimens of a true Christian gen
tleman. Although a prince among men
by reason of a strong, rich nature, by the
range of bis abilities, and by thedevutiou
with which be gave himself to God and
men, yet through his quiet, unobtrusive
life, we did not know bow large a canvas
be could till and bow nobly, until we set
ourselves to the hopeless task of pictur
ing him. Ho was the only son of the late
James Dunlop aud Sarah Bennett Kelly,
of Pittsburgh, Pa., aud was born in that
olty January 10, 1837. From them he in
herited that innate refinement so charac
teristic of the gentry of County Down,
Ireland, which only served as an adorn
ment to the high and noble character
which he possessed. Carefully reared
aud trained iu the faith of the Scottish
Covenanters, be early learned to place an
unfaltering trust and confidence in the
Lord, and in this gained an invincible fi
delity to conscience and truth which serv
ed as an anchor throughout bis lite.
His father being a prosperous business
man, afforded him the privileges of a
liberal education in the public and private
schools of. bis native city and also at
Washington aud Jefferson College where
he graduated in 1858 Attracted to the
Venango county oil fields, be began his
business career at Reno, iu 1800. One
year was spent iu drilling a well with a
spring-pole which proved a decided fail
ure and would have disheartened a less
courageous spirit than ho possessed. But
with true Spartan bravery, be embarked
the next year in the manufacture of tight
oil barrels, with Kelly, Holmes and Co.
at Tionesta In which be was engaged till
the fall of 1806, duriug which time he was
also interested iu a refinery owued by bis
father on the Tarr Farm which was des
troyed by fire at a total loss to its owners.
About this time he became interested in
the manufacture of lumber, and in com
pany with Hall and May, began lumber
ing on the Taylor tract In Kingsley
township. These enterprises proving
successful, he was enabled to become a
member of the firm of May, Park A Co.,
bankers, of Tionesta, and was made cash,
ier of the bank from its organization till
it was merged into the Forest County Na
tional Bank in 1896, wheu be was contin
ued as cashier nuder the new organiza
tion. Too much cannot be said of the
high esteem in which he was held by all
who knew him in the business world. He
was honest and upright and bis word was
always regarded as being as good as his
bond.
In 1881 be, In company with Messrs. II.
II. and B. W. May of Tionesta, and E. B,
Grandin of Tidioute, took a lease of the
famous Cook lands, on Tionesta creek,
which doubtless proved the most fruitful
of all bis enterprises. The first two wells
were failures, aud a third was begun, be
ing located by Mr. H. H. May who did so
by sticking bis cane in the ground at a
place where the conductor hole was to be
started, and at a distance of half a mile
from the last wells. As soon as finished
it begau to flow at a rate of 1000 barrels a
day, which caused great excitement
throughout the oil regions and had quite
an effect upon the oil market. Within a
short time over a million barrels bad
been realized from the lease and for many
years its annual production was 50,000
barrels. During this time and to the close
of bis life, he still retained his interest in
lumbering, bis last operation of any con
sequence being in what is-known as the
Warren Lumber Co., with Messrs, Law
rence and Smoarbaugh of Tionesta, which
also proved a successful enterprise.
Mr. Kelly was a woll-rouuded, many
sided man, a student of high ordor, with
Had His Hand Cut Off.
Last Thursday just alter tho noon hour,
Edward Fox, residing on the Smokey
Hill road, and who wasemplowed on the
mill ol James Landers, sawing automo
bile spoke timber on the Kelly farm,
met with a most distressing accident,
maiming bim for life. He was running
a bolter saw which is pullod dowu by a
lever to out the bolt or log iu two and
then Bwlugs back iuto its place auto
matically. This saw is about 38 Inches in
diameter and necessarily runs at a high
rate of speed. Mr. l'"o had reached up
to pull the saw down and when it struck
the bolt it flew into a dozen pieces, one
piece striking bis lelt hand and serving
the four lingers at the knuckles, He was
immediately brought to town and Dr.
Dunn assisted by Dr. Henry, gave Hip
necessary surgical attention, finding it
necessary to amputate the hand just back
of the knuckle joints, loavlng only the
thumb, which was not injured. The
operation was a successful one aud Mr,
Fox is getting along very well, but be
ing a laboring man will he badly handi
capped and almost incapacitated lor much
ol' the work he was accustomed to doing.
The other departments of the mill hav
ing just at this period been shut down
the balance of the crew was outside sort
ing and Inspecting spokes, so that no
others were Injured when the saw, which
was flawless, went to plecos. One piece
cut through the root, but no material
damage was done to the mill or machinery.
a decided taste for classics. He loved
history and was always on the search for
facts. Africa was his special delight and
bis choice library contains many volumes
of the history of the Dark Continent. He
took a keen interest in municipal affairs
aud contributed largely to the welfare of
the borough as well as to national affairs.
Although he had no ambitions, whatever,
for a political life, yet he was given the
honor of representing his district at the
Republican National Convention of 1888,
which met in Chicago. He also held,
from time to time, various borough of
fices, including justice of the peace, town
councilman, and school director. He was
keen and alert to the best interests of the
community as long as he was able, and
was, perhaps, as one has said of bim,
"the youngest old man the town has ever
known." No doubt this was largely due
to his life as a student aud his love of
outdoor sports and exercise. From his
boyhood be loved to swim and play ball
and at seventy could outdo those many
years his junior at a game of tennis,
But, though Mr. Kelly made a fine
business record and proved an excep
tional man in the vigor of his clear, keen
sympathy, and his understanding of men
and affairs, that which firmly fixed the
fine alloy of bis whole manhood and made
bim the man he was to every other man
who knew bim, was his simple, beauti
ful faith iu the divine message as re
vealed in Jesus Christ, Weighed in the
flawless balances of heaven, there are re
sults which dwarf all other accomplish
ments, and be whose memory we treas
ure was one who possessed such virtues
and endowments. The organizing ele
ment of his life was deep spirituality and
piety, and with him he carried the subtle
fragrance belonging to those who walk
with God. For thirty-five years beheld
the office of ruling elder in the Tionesta
Presbyterian church, aud for over twenty
five years was superintendent of the
Sabbath school. Iu these positions lie
proved himself a careful student of the
Word, with au experience of grace that
was positive and rich. He was uncom
promising in his ideas of right, was gen
tle and cordial and had large views of the
commission of the church, lie was lib
eral in the support of its work and its
loss caunol be estimated, lie gave un
stintinglv to the cause of Christ, aud his
gilts, unknown to the world, amounted
to the thousands. All denominations
and the various temperance societies
went to bim for help aud none were ever
refused. Whatever he did was done "as
unto the Lord."
On April 28, 1863, he was united in
marriage with Miss Frances Augusta
May, daughter of the late Hezekiah
Huntington and Frances A. Thatcher
May, a lady of excellent qualities, who
proved a splendid helpmeet throughout
their uiarried life, and who survives bim.
To them were born five sons and two
daughters: May Stanley, wife ol Charlos
Bonner, of Chicago; Arthur Wellington,
deceased; James Huntington, assistant
cashier of the Forest County National
Bank; Benjamin May, teller of the N. W.
Harris Bank, of Chicago: Henry Edward,
with the Vulcan CrucibleSteel Company,
at Philadelphia; Elsie Stow, wife of Dr.
W. H. Rodgers, of Louisville, Ky,, and
Archibald Howard, an assistant In the
Forest County National Bank, It was,
perhaps, iu his home life that Mr. Kelly
excelled. It was there that love shone
brightest, and that wisdom, grace and
prudence were exercised. It was a
home the children loved to reach as soou
as a vacation was afforded them, aud
where kindness and hospitality were un
stinted. His life will be an abiding In
fluence for good that is not entombed
with the body, but lingers, as the breath
of the springtime, or the summer sun
shine, to continue year alter year in the
hearts of those who remain. His home
going was a notable victory. His faith
was clear and bright and there was "no
moaning at the bar as he put out to sea."
Fuueral services in memory of the de
ceased will he bold at his late home to
morrow, Thursday, evening at 4;00
o'clock, Rev. H. A. Bailey, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, olliciatiug. Theiu

ON SALE AT $6.00
Thirty-four Young Men's Suils in the following sizes: 1-16, 6-17, 2-18, 12-19,
6-2C, 6-21, 2-22. Every Suit offered is made from all-wool cloths and consists of a
few blue serges and the balance fancy cheviots and cassimeres of medium shades
in browns, tans and greys. Not a suit in the lot but sold for $12 and most of them
at $13.60 and a few at $16. But there are only one or two of a kind and size, and
rather than carry broken lines prefer to make a loss, even on desirable merchandise.
MEN'S SHIRTS 25c
From our regular line of fifty-cent Shirts, most all sizes, but they are mussed
from handling, and the colors are not the best, but the quality and size are all right
and are good purchases for a working garment; no collars; negligee style.
MEN'S STRAW HATS $1.00
SAILOR STYLE
From our regular $2.00, $2.60 and $3.00 lines, but your size must be 7 or 7 1-8;
that's the reason we are willing to sell at $3.00 Hat for $1.00.
