Kelmar Ely, was the editor of Alma Record

Born on August 29, 1853, in Chautauqua County, New York, and is a son of Derwin and Helen (Hart) Ely. His father was a native of Chautauqua County also, and the marriage of his parents occurred in the village of Delanti, in the same county. They remained there as residents for two years, when they came to Michigan, and in 1855 settled in Alma.

The father was a framer and built a pioneer house on the north bank of Pine River. He inhabited his log house a year and erected a dwelling on the south bank of the "Pine," which is was incorporated in the building known as the "Myer House." Two years later he sold out to his brother, Flavius and returned to his native county, where he resumed his occupation as an agriculturist and remained seven years.
