HIGHLY RESPECTED LADY RELIEVED OF CARES AND WORRY
Died Within Less Than Six Months After Death of Husband.
The Maker has again seen fit to remove from our midst a highly respected and esteemed citizen when on Sunday Mrs Eleanor Kelly, widow of J. E. Kelly was called to her eternal reward. Deceased had been ailing for several years with a complication of diseases and it was last May when she and her husband consulted the Mayos at Rochester that Mr Kelly passed suddenly away while eating at a hotel.
But little hopes were entertained for her recovery after that visit and she returned to await the end. She was a constant sufferer but was able to be up at times until the Wednesday preceeding. Sunday evening about 5:30 she called each of the children to her side and being assured that everything was all right she patiently awaited the end which finally came at 10:30 that night to relieve her of her sufferings.
Eleanor Rynn was born at Brocklinn, Dane county WI on March1, 1860 and was 61 years of age at the time of death. On Nov 7, 1877 she was married to James E. Kelly at Mason City IA. They came to Dakota Territory in 1883 and settled on a farm in Dixon township the place they still own and moved to Vienna in 1907 and retired from farm life.
The surviving children are Mrs James Mulcrone, Cando NM; Mrs James Foy, James R. Kelly and Miss Tressa Kelly of Vienna. Mrs. Mulcrone arrived Monday to attend the funeral. One brother John Rynn of Dixon township also survives.
Funeral services were held at St. John's Catholic church Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, the pastor Rev. Father Martyn officiating and the church was filled to capacity with friends to pay final respects to a departed friend. The remains were taken to Bryant and interment made in the cemetery in the family lot beside the remains of her husband.
Mrs Kelly led a quiet and Christian life and her mission in life has been fully accomplished. She had a wide and lasting acquaintance, every one a staunch friend and the entire community hereby extends to the sorrowing children and brother heartfelt sympathy.

Death was very sudden for the lady in company with her husband and son, Albert, had lunch at midnight. She was then in the best of spirits and as usual, jolly. She had been taking medicine for about 2 weeks but was never confined to her bed and it was when Mr. Knadle went to her room about 4 o'clock to give her medicine that he was shocked to find her cold in death. That she passed peacefully away was evident from the position in which she lay, for she was covered to the hips and with her hands folded over her breasts seemed in natural sleep, but she had passed on.
Owing to the great distance between Mission and Vienna the body was hurridly prepared for shipment and they left that afternoon at 1:35, accompanied by Mr. Knadle and daughter, Miss Mable, hoping to reach here Friday evening. However, on account of wrong routing by the agent, they missed connections at Sioux City and were forced to go by way of Huron arriving in Vienna Saturday morning.

Knadle at Hillsboro WI and in 1886 came to South Dakota, settling on a homestead east of this village, the farm now occupied by a son, Fred. In 1902 they moved to Vienna and engaged in the general merchandise business until 1917 when they sold out to John E. Low and in October of that year moved to Mission where they have made their home, prospered and were happy until death removed the mother.
Besides the loving husband she leaves 12 children, 2 brothers, a sister, many near relatives and a friend in everyone who knew her, to mourn her loss. The children are: Charles of Huron SD; Edward D., Lucca, N.D.; Adolph, Waubay SD; George, Watertown; Fred, Theodore, John R., Mrs. K.E. Seim and Mrs. George Cluts of Vienna; Albert, Earnest and Mable, Mission. The brothers are Jake Bruha of this village and Joe Bruha at Wonewoc WI, the sister Mrs John Jafek at Glencoe OK. The latter two were unable to be present at the funeral on account of sickness in the family. All the children except Albert and Earnest of Mission were in attendance.
The funeral was to be held Sunday afternoon but owing to the severe snow storm Saturday night it was postponed until Monday afternoon. Services were held at the John R. Knadle home after which the body was taken to the Congregational Church, Rev. Juell of Aberdeen conducting the last rites. The church was packed and many were forced to remain outside. The floral offerings were many and beautiful and Rev. Juell preached a splendid and consoling sermon. The remains were taken to the Dixon cemetery and interred in the family lot.
Mrs. John M. Knadle loved by every man, woman and child, who had the pleasure of knowing her, was a lady of the highest type. She with her husband were among the sturdy pioneers who went through the hardships of the earlier days, but who never lost hope and they were well repaid in prosperity and the staunch friendship of all the people for miles around.
