1897

Kelly has retired from his 40 years of active medical practice in Indianapolis, and few people have ever had a more affectionate send-off. The Indianapolis Medical Society Bulletin for May devoted a whole page to him with his picture. An excerpt is:

"It is remarkable to note that in those four decades the doctor didn't miss a day because of sickness. 'The last time I was sick,' he says, 'was when I had the measles when I was five years old.'

"He has had a long and honored career during his 33 years as a member of the Indianapolis Medical Society. He was Society president in 1933, a member of the Council for three years and chairman of that group in 1928. He was chairman of the Constitution and By-laws Committee for 'so many years that I finally had to ask them to take me off and give someone else a chance.' He was a member of the House of Delegates of the Indiana State Medical Association for eight years and alternate delegate to the American Medical Association for the same length of time.

"He served as Chief of the Obstetrical Staff at St. Francis Hospital and was a member of the Obstetrical Staff at City Hospital in addition to serving on the staffs at Methodist and St. Vincent hospitals.

"The doctor, incidentally, calculates that he has delivered more than 3000 babies in his career. 'A lot of people in Irvington know me,' he remarks in masterful understatement.

"And, so, it is back to 'Squash Hollow' for one of the Society's most respected and honored members, a career behind him which few men achieve and which all men envy."

The Medical Society also gave him a dinn in June and presented him with a scroll staT ing that he had "served the organization, with distinction and reflected credit on the pr fession" and Post 26 of the American Legi0° gave him a diamond-studded Past Command" er's pin.

Kelly after graduation from Dartmouth went to the University of Texas and became the first athletic director, and then to Butle University in Indiana where from 1899 1904 he held the same position. From 1904 t0 1908 he was teacher of physical culture for the blind at Indiana University. He was a Captain in the Medical Corps in World War I and has served on the staffs of nearly all hospitals in Indianapolis.

His new home is Squash Hollow Farm, New Milford, Connecticut, where his companions will be his daughter, Mrs. Carrington, whom you met at our 45th, his registered Guernsey cow and his faithful mare. His P. O. Box is No. 6.
