A telegram reached Samuel D. Kellison this morning from Glasgow, Mont., to the effect that his son, A. E. Kellison, was dead. He had been ill for some time of rheumatism of the stomach and heart disease. He was thirty-three years old and leaves a wife and two children. He had been in Glasgow just a year last Fourth of July and was coming right to the front in his chosen profession, the law. Before leaving here he had studied law with N. P. H. Proctor and served four years as justice of the peace of Darlington. His father and mother will go to the funeral.

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.

Mr. Samuel Kellison received a dispatch that his son, AD Kellison residing at Glasgow, Montana was dying from a disease of the stomach.  He is well known in this county where he resided all his life until removing to the west a year ago.  He was at one time a Justice of Franklin Township and likewise taught school for some years in that township.  He has written several interesting letters for The Review since residing in that state and financially was succeeding very well in his new location. - kbz

The following eulogistic words on the death of the late AD Kellison are copied from the Glasgow, Montana, Herald under date of July 18.  If Mr. Kellison was honored and respected for his true manliness and kindly disposition where he was born and raised it will be seen that he was rapidly endearing himself to his new associates in his far western home.  Mr. 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 adapted home and has lived and practiced law in Glasgow since that time.  During his short sojourn among us he made many warn friends who will sadly miss him.  His death was superinduced from an injury received while firing a 4th 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 of heart, his upright character, 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 love sustained.  AD 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 all whom had confience and form whom we mourn in sympathy with his family.  Rev. Van Orsdell officiated at the funeral. - kbz
