Last Friday morning John Keleher, 27 years of Geneva, was
found in an unconscious condition in the rear of Pickett's hat store on
Castle street. There was a large hole in the top of his head. It was at
first believed that he had been the victim of a murderous assault, but
as a considerable sum of money which he had in his pockets was
unmolested, it is believed that he fell from the outside stairway
nearby while intoxicated. He died Saturday afternoon.

MRS. JACOB KELLAR Burned to Death in Her Home - Husband in Jail
A fatal fire occurred in Shortsville Thursday evening. About 6 o'clock
the house on Aldrich street occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Kellar, was
discovered to be on fire. The first to arrive found her clothing on
fire and unconscious. In attempting to rescue her body, the flesh came
from the bones and the victim lived but a short time. The husband was
at home when the fire broke out but it is alleged that he was in a
beastly state of intoxication and could give no cause for the fire. It
was found necessary to confine him in the lockup overnight. He is an
old soldier, but some two years ago was declared incompetent to care
for himself, and a committee was
appointed to look after him. The dwelling was a complete loss of about
$500,
insured for $250. Mrs. Kellar was about 65 years of age. It is thought
by
some that in attempting to light or move a lamp, it was upset.
Shortsville has no water works system or other adequate means of
fighting fire.

From Geneva Daily Times 22 July 1902
Byron E. Keller, 44 years old, who resided at the corner of
Pre-emption road and North street and who was a brakeman employed on
the night yard crew of the Lehigh Valley railroad, was run over and
killed at 11:15 o'clock last night in the lower yards near the
Pre-emption road. Keller was dragged about eight car lengths and
his body was horribly mutilated. The left leg was severed just above
the knee, the right leg was cut off near the thigh, and both arms were
completely cut off. The
body was almost cut in two obliquely across the abdomen, from the
left knee to a point a few inches above the right thigh. The brakeman
lived about two minutes after he was struck. Coroner Weyburn was
notified. He arrived on the scene at 11:55 o'clock, and ordered
the remains removed to the morgue. They were afterwards removed
to Devaney & Fletcher's undertaking rooms, at the request of the
family. The coroner viewed the remains, and after ascertaining
the facts, granted a certificate of death by accident.
The circumstances of Keller's death were told to a TIMES reporter this
forenoon by Edward Wade, a fireman on yard engine 566. Wade did
not see Keller when he was run over, but he picked up the brakeman's
mangled body just before he expired. Wade
said: "Keller was on the rear of the eastbound 'pick-up' with the
Brakeman John Shields, when the accident occurred. The two brakemen
stood on the platform of a gondola car loaded with lumber. The
'pick-up' was backing westward into switch 2, for the purpose of
shifting and picking up some __rs. Our engine, which is the yard
engine, stood on the main track, a short distance west of the backing
train. Myself and Engineer William McGrath saw the two customary
lights on the rear of the freight. I turned to do something in
the engine, and when I looked out of the window
a moment later, I saw only one light on the rear of the backing train.
Someone on the track signalled frantically to our engineer.
The next instant I saw Shields running towards our engine
with a lantern. He came up to me and shouted: 'For God's sake,
__ back there; Keller is killed.' We ran the engine back to
where Keller lay. The body lay across the rail. The head
and shoulders were on the outside of the track, and the legs were on
the inside. Just as we reached Keller he groaned and expired.
I think he must have lived about two minutes after the accident.
Shields says that he and Keller were on the platform when Keller
lost his hold and and fell under the wheels. I broke the news of
Keller's death to his wife and family."
Keller had
been employed by the Lehigh Valley here for the past three years.
Previous to that time he was a brakeman on the Mohawk division of
the Central Hudson. The deceased was a member of North
Presbyterian church and of
Geneva tent 292, K. O. T. M. He is survived by a wife and
seven children. The funeral will take place Thursday morning at
10 o'clock.

brought here yesterday morning for interment in the Catholic Cemetery
situated on the road between here and Clifton Springs. The deceased was
a member of Herendeen Post, G. A. R., and about 65 years of age. His
wife, Margaret Keller, and he had been residents of this place and
lived on Sheldon street for a number of years, when, one night about
seven years ago, the house in which they lived caught fire from some
unknown cause. It was supposed to be from the explosion of a kerosene
lamp and Mrs. Keller was burned to death.

Fatal Railroad Accident - Albert Kelley, aged 24 years, son of
Thomas Kelley, who resides near Clifton Springs, was run down by the
night "flyer" on the Lehigh Railway last Friday night while driving
across the tracks near Clifton Springs. Kelley was returning home from
Shortsville with a horse and carriage, when, at the first crossing west
of the Clifton Springs station, he was struck by a fast passenger train
that makes no stops between Manchester and Geneva. The train was
going at a high rate of speed when it struck the carriage containing
Kelley. The carriage was completely cut loose from the horse,
which was not injured. The carriage was reduced to kindling wood
and Kelley was thrown high into the air. The train was stopped as
soon as possible and some of the trainmen went back to look for the
unfortunate man. He was found by the side of the track in a
bleeding and mangled condition and still alive. He was picked up
and carried to the train and then taken to Geneva, but he expired
before the train arrived at the Geneva station. Upon examination, it
was found that Kelley's skull was badly fractured and that his left arm
was broken. The remains of Kelley were taken to Clifton Springs.
Owing to the fact that the accident happened on a grade crossing,
Coroner O. H. Wright, of this place, impanelled a jury to investigate
the case. The jury was composed of the following named: H.
F. Fox, G. A. Peel, F. G. Seibel, E. A.
Harris, D. P. Tompkins, R. Lerch, F. Dwyer, W. Burton and E. M. Coxe.
After viewing the remains at the morgue the jury adjourned until
Tuesday when they visited the
scene of the accident.

From Ontario County Times January 11 1871
We learn from the Phelps Citizen that Mrs. Hannah H. Kelley, wife
of
Mr. C. P. Kelley, of that place, committed suicide on the afternoon
of the 2d instant, by cutting her throat with a razor. She had before
attempted to put an end to her life, and it is thought the tendency to
self destruction was hereditary in the family. Her husband was absent
when the fatal deed of self murder was committed, and her failure to
appear when he returned about three o'clock, prompted a search of the
premises. We quote further particulars from the Citizen: On his
entering a vacant room in the southwest corner of the house, he there
discovered a great pool of blood. His worst fears were then aroused,
and while the search was being prosecuted, his nearest neighbor, Mr. W.
W. Gates, came in on an errand, and Mr. Kelley said, "I am afraid my
wife has killer herself. I cannot find her; but see here," after
looking at the pool of blood, they both began searching every room,
when her body was found in an upstair room in the east part of the
house. She was lying on her side, just inside of the door, on the
floor,
life was not wholly extinct, but having no consciousness; her throat
was cut quite around, and not very smoothly. The razor was found on the
floor nearby, and was the same instrument she had used two years
before. Medical assistance was summoned forthwith, but life lingered
but a few breaths after, and she was dead. It is evident that she first
cut herself in the room downstairs, and from fright or other reason,
passed through several rooms and a long hall and up a steep staircase,
closing behind her five doors, to the chamber where she was found. She
left no traces of blood, except a little in passing through one door,
as if it rubbed off her dress. But in the room where found there was
considerable blood on the floor, and finger marks on the door as if she
had reached to grasp the latch, and probably sank to the floor where
found. It is evident she used the razor a second time or after reaching
this room. Her housework had all been neatly done up for the morning,
except her beds, and she in all probability, perpetrated the deed soon
after Mr. Kelley left. Mrs. Kelley was an excellent woman, a faithful
member in the Good Templar Order, and always felt a lively interest for
her only child, Thomas, aged about fifteen. There was no worldly
trouble or care, if we can judge from her comfortable surroundings,
that could have induced her to commit this rash deed. The entire
community sympathize with Mr. Kelley and relatives in this dreadful
bereavement. Her funeral was attended on Wednesday afternoon. Her age
was about forty years.

From Ontario County Journal 18 May 1877
Frightful Accident - Mr. Caleb Kellogg, an old and respected
citizen of West Bloomfield, was killed by the cars on Wednesday
evening. The particulars as we learn them are as follows:
The train on the "peanut road" (the Batavia
branch of the N. Y. Central, left Canandaigua on its usual time
Wednesday afternoon, in charge of Conductor Cleveland, and
was due at North Bloomfield crossing at about 5 o'clock. At that
point the track passes through a deep cut, which is crossed by a wagon
road, from which it is difficult to see or hear an approaching train
until one is close to or upon the crossing. When this train was
approaching this point at a rapid rate, Mr. Kellogg was also nearing
the track in his wagon, and both reached the track crossing at the same
time. The result was, of course, a frightful accident. Mr.
Kellogg's horse was killed instantly and the wagon demolished.
The train was stopped as soon as possible and backed up to the
scene of the collision, when Mr. Kellogg was
found to be seriously and fatally injured. He was conveyed to a
house near by and an examination showed that several of his ribs
and a shoulder blade were broken, a shoulder dislocated and he was
terribly
bruised in many parts of his body. Death ended his suffering at
half-past
nine o'clock the same evening. This violent death of Mr. Kellogg
will be greatly mourned in his neighborhood, where he was an honored
and useful citizen.

FATAL RAIL ROAD ACCIDENT - Mr. Curtis A. Kellogg, a
prominent and highly respected citizen of Victor, was killed by a
railroad collision at Tivoli, on the Hudson River road early last
Saturday morning. Mr. Kellogg was asleep in the caboose of a
freight train accompanying a car load of potatoes to New York.
His train had stopped at Tivoli station when another freight
train came thundering upon the car in which he was sleeping, smashing
it completely, and killing Mr. Kellogg instantly. The train men
ran to the wreck as soon as the collision
occurred, and after some search succeeded in finding his dead
body in the ruins. Both legs and one rib were broken. His
name and residence were ascertained from papers and letters found
on his person. His remains were brought to his late home in Victor on
Sunday last, and his funeral was held on Wednesday, which was
attended by the largest number ever assembled at a funeral in that
place. The procession following his remains to the grave is said
to have been a mile in length. The ceremonies at the grave were
conducted by the Masonic fraternity, of which order he was a prominent
and active member, having filled the Master's chair for several years.
His sudden death hangs like a pall over the village, and will not
soon be forgotten. He leaves a widow and a daughter about nine
years of age to mourn his untimely death.

Canandaigua, N. Y. - The death of Henry W. Kellogg, at
this place, today, removed one of the last of the adventurers who were
known as "Forty-niners," those brave men who took the trip across the
Isthmus of Panama and up the Pacific coast, till they found the
Eldorado for which they sought, in the gold fields of northern
California. Mr. Kellogg, who was born in Colchester, Conn., in 1822,
left Utica at the age of 27, in the year 1849, with a party of other
men, and they passed through all the vicissitudes that that were
experienced in those days. Finally Mr. Kellogg went into the interior
and took up ranching, but up to the time he came east, some five years
ago, he retained interest in his mining operations. Mr. Kellogg is
survived by two sons, John W., of this place and Charles E. Kellogg of
Philadelphia, who is best known as a lecturer and bird warbler, his
abilities in the latter line having early earned him the name of the
"California bird Warbler." He formerly resided in Vine Valley, on
Canandaigua lake.

From Victor Herald 12 May 1905
The death of Thomas Hosmer Kellogg, once a well-to-do
merchant of East Bloomfield, occurred in the town of Hopewell,
Wednesday morning. In his youth Mr. Kellogg had a unique experience,
perhaps never duplicated in the life of any resident of the county.
During the winter of 1825, his father and one Elisha Eggleston, living
near Mud Hollow, being great admirers of Governor Clinton, the father
of the Erie Canal, and having the utmost confidence in its success,
began the building at their homes of a canal boat to ply its waters.
They employed a master mechanic named Skillenger to visit Rome, N. Y.,
and get models of boats used and building materials. Together they
finished the boat on June 1st and on the 5th it was loaded on the axles
of two strong ox-carts. Early the next morning eight yokes of strong
oxen were attached, each yoke having a careful driver. The boat moved
off finely to Clinton's ditch at Bushnell's Basin by the way of Victor.
Thomas H. Kellogg was the only passenger on the boat from Mud Hollow to
its destination and was then nine years old, the only person that ever
road on a canal boat on the highways of Bloomfield and Victor. The boat
was safely launched in the waters of the Erie canal at Bushnell's Basin
at 5 o'clock the same day.

From Ontario Repository and Messenger 22 January 1873
James Kelly, residing on Coach street, was found dead on Saturday
morning near the lumber yard of Albion Ellis on Bemis street. From the
fact that a large piece of timber was found across his head
and breast, it may be inferred that the unfortunate man met with his
tragic fate while appropriating the timber to his own use. He evidently
fell while carrying the log over his shoulder, the it is probably the
case, that the stick falling with him, gave him the fatal blow. Coroner
Hayes held an inquest Saturday evening.
From Victor Herald 18 July 1902
Honeoye, N. Y. - James Kelly, a farmer near Richmond Mills, died
Saturday afternoon, with the confluent form of smallpox. Mr. Kelly has
had the disease for some time and would have likely recovered had it
not been for his heart which was very weak. The other members of the
family to the number of four are recovering very nicely with the
disease and no fears are entertained for their recovery. The board of
health has the matter well in hand and it is not likely that the
disease will spread though Dennis Reardon of Richmond Center has been
quarantined as he has symptoms of smallpox. Mr. Reardon worked at Mr.
Kelly's when the family were in the early stages of the disease before
it was known to be smallpox.

While assisting in switching cars Friday noon, John Kelly, aged
19
years, was killed at the foot of Ontario street. Kelly had charge of
the crossing, but thought to have a diversion by assisting the
switching crew. He jumped on the front of the engine, from which he
slipped. The engine passed over him, horribly mutilating his body. It
is said the accident was witnessed by the young man's mother, who lives
near the crossing in question. About fifteen years ago the father of
young Kelly was killed on the tracks near where the son was killed last
