Obituary of Edna
Elizabeth Kelley:
Death of Miss
Edna Kelley
Friends
throughout the county were grieved to hear of the death of Miss Edna Kelley,
which occurred at the home of Dr. William R. Clyburn last Friday night. She had
been in failing health for some time and had recently been removed from the
hospital to Dr. Clyburn’s home, as she was seemingly better, but death came
suddenly and unexpectedly Friday night. Miss Kelley was the sister of the late
Mrs. L.L. Clyburn and lived in Captain Clyburn’s home for many years and was
endeared by the tenderest of ties, the ties of faithful service and unselfish
devotion. A real sorrow has come into their lives with the passing of this good
woman, a woman whose watch word was “duty” and whose every thought was for
those she loved. A kindly heart and generous hand made many friends for her
along life’s rugged road and these friends will long cherish and keep her
memory green. The funeral services were conducted at Westville by the pastor of
the Westville Baptist church and she was laid to rest in the family plot at
that place.

In 1912, Edna was mentioned in her brother M.P. Kelley's obituary:
Mr. M.P. Kelly,
formerly of this county but who left here about twenty-five years ago, died in
Oklahoma on the 19th of June. Mr. Kelly was a brother of Mr. S.F. Kelly and
Miss Edna Kelly, of our county, and was about seventy years of age at the time
of his death. When the civil war broke out he enlisted and saw service with the
Hampton Legions. He was in many battles, and used to refer to the thirty-two
skirmishes he was in. He made a brave soldier, and his old comrades in this
county will be pained to learn of his death. He is survived by his wife and
eleven children, for whom sincere sympathy is felt and for his surviving
brother and sister.
