Obituary- John Shelly
John Shelly, a pioneer of Boone county, died Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, at his home
east of Advance. He was eighty years of age and had resided in the vicinity of advance for
the last forty years.
He was married soon after he became of age to Elizabeth J. Kirk, of Union county. To this
union were born two sons, Edwin and Howard, who with mother survive.
He moved fifty yeas ago to the farm on which he died, and was one of the settlers of the
county that experienced hardships of pioneer life. He was a man of great good to his
friends and their distress never appealed to him in vain.
Funeral services were held at the home at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. Interment at
I.O.O.F. cemetery here.
