"NATHAN KELLEY, deceased, was born in the State of Delaware, and was married to Hannah Miller, of Pennsylvania, and afterward came down the Ohio River on a flat-boat with Judge Bennett, Longworth and others to Cincinnati, in 1791; he came from the above place in the night to Deerfield, and purchased land now owned by M. Hayner. In 1796, he located on the land where he lived and died; he served as Justice of the Peace for many years, and was a man of large executive ability; he died, July 6, 1845, aged 85 years; death came sudden and unexpected, as the day before his death he rode five miles to have his will made; his wife died in 1815. To them were born seven children-Cornelius, James, Thomas, Joseph (who was drowned in the Ohio River), Mary, Sidney and Cynthia. He was again married to Mary (Pierce) Van Meter, who bore him one child-Priscilla. He was an exemplary member of the M. E. Church, and stood high in the order of Masonry."

Till none who knew his early days remained
At length with wasting care and years oppressed
His weary toilworn frame sunk down to rest."
