Mr. A. D. Kellison died last Wednesday, aged 36 years. He was born and reared in the State of Indiana. About one year ago he made Montana his adopted home and has lived and practiced law in Glasgow since that time. During his short sojourn among us he has made many warm friends who will sadly miss him. His death was super induced from an injury received while firing a Fourth of July salute. Nothing is so difficult as recording the death of a friend and fellow being. We would love to say something comforting to the bereaved family and yet were we to dwell upon his good qualities, his parental devotion to his little ones, the love and esteem he bore for his wife, our words would only serve to open anew the wounds his death has left, magnify the loss his family has sustained. A.D. Kellison was a good man, an honest man, a kind, indulgent father, a fond husband, a respected and highly esteemed citizen. His death has left a vacancy which can never be filled in the family circle, and our ranks, a member in whom all had confidence and for whom we mourn in sympathy with his family.
Rev. Van Orsdell officiated at the funeral of A. D.
