Article Description: Pioneer Lady Dies At Candelaria (Mary Kelly)
Article Text:
Monday morning a friend found the lifeless body of Mrs. Mary KELLY in her bed in her
home at Candelaria where she had lived since 1899. The deceased had lived in Silver City
from her early womanhood, and conducted a hotel there. When her brother, Thomas DONAHUE
was shot and killed by Doc CALLISON, a former count commissioner of Esmeralda county in
1889 she moved to Candelaria and took charge of his mining property and real estate.
During all of these years she has kept up the annual mining assessments believing that the
property would net her a sum in her old age. Two sons cared for her until 1903, when one
son, Fred was killed in the Montgomery mine at Shoshone, the other son, Billie, dying
about 1904. Both had lived at Silver Peak before their deaths and change of residence. The
deceased was an eccentric character and would allow no person to interfere with her
business, but at that she had many good traits and was always ready to lend aid to a needy
person.
Mrs. E. McMANUS and daughter, of Reno, distant relatives of the late Mrs. KELLY, arrived
in Tonopah Monday and attended the funeral services which took place from the undertaking
parlors in Tonopah. Rev. Fathers James O'GRADY of Las Vegas and C. HOGAN of Boulder
City, officiated.
The deceased was 87 years old at the time of her death.
