Helen M. Boynton was born in Palermo,
Maine, February 9, 1854.
When about five years of age she came
to Wilton. On December 31st, 1878 she
was married to Absalom B. Kelley, to
which union were born six children,
Albert B., Mrs. Anna Barclay, Oliver E.,
Mrs. Vera Lenker, Irving L., and Mrs.
Lela Marolf. Also two step children,
Mrs. Maude Smith and Royal B., all of
Wilton or vicinity. Besides the family
of children, she leaves to mourn their
loss, a devoted husband, one sister,
Mrs. B. Clark and seven grand-children.
We all knew here to have been a loving
and devoted wife and mother, giving her
time and best self to the good of others.
For many years she with her family lived
on a farm in Cedar county, just north of
Wilton. Eighteen years ago they moved
into town, where the rest of her earthly
life was spent among her friends and they
were many.
She was converted at the age of fourteen
and united with the Farmington Freewill
Baptist church of which she remained a
consistent member until her death. For
some years she had been in failing health
and was deprived of attending to the
duties of public worship.
Her home life was noticeable in her
singular devotion to her dear ones,
thinking more of the interest of others
than of her own.
After a brief, but serious illness, she
passed to her reward on Tuesday, January
11th, 1916, aged 61 years, 11 months
and 2 days.
The funeral was held at the residence
Friday afternoon at 1:30, conducted by
Rev. J. C. Caughlan, pastor of the
Methodist Episcopal church of Wilton.
The family have the deepest sympathy of
the community.
