  THOMAS KELLY, a progressive agriculturist and public-spirited citizen of Ellington township, deserves more than passing mention for the part he has taken in the advancement of his community, not only as a developer of land, but as the originator of movements that have proved of inestimable value to his township. He is a son of Richard Kelly, a native of County Louth, Ireland, who came to this country as a young man, shortly after his marriage, and settled in Orange county, New York, where he worked for ten or twelve years. He came to Outagamie county, Wisconsin, in 1856, and bought land in Ellington township when this section was covered with heavy timber, building a log cabin in which the family lived for several years. The remainder of his life was spent on this farm, and his death occurred here in 1903. He was married in Ireland to Ann Newcomb, who died in 1891, and they had a family of ten children. Thomas Kelly was born February 17, 1850; in Orange county, New York, and he received his education in the schools of his neighborhood, although, to use his own words, he was "often detained at home to chop wood, and has been 'chopping ever since." He continued to remain with his parents until the spring of 1879, at which time he moved to his present home, which had been purchased by his father some time before. In the fall of that year Mr. Kelly was married to Mary A. Gartlin, born in Orange county, New York, daughter of Patrick and Katherine (Farl) Gartlin, natives of Ireland, and to this union there were born five 'children: Frank, who died at the age of twenty-three years; and Thomas L., George, Mary and Catherine. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are members of the Catholic church at Stephensville. Mr. Kelly was clerk of the township for eighteen years and supervisor four years, and was then elected township chairman, and while acting in this capacity he advocated the building of stone bridges in Ellington township, backing up his idea with such force as to practically compel the township officials to have this work done. In recognition of his excellent services in this capacity, he was nominated for the Legislature on the Democratic ticket of 1910, but owing to political conditions in this section at that time he met with defeat. His farming duties have demanded the greater part of his attention, but he has also found time to act as agent for the Farmers' Home Mutual Insurance Company, an organization made up of farmers of Ellington and the surrounding townships.
