EXCHANGES WEEDSPORT HOTEL FOR LARGE FARM
Thaddeus Olds Buys Tract, While Lester M. Sneden Takes Hotel. Farm Near Fulton
Deeds have been recorded in the exchange of the Willard House in Weedsport, built in 1867, for a farm five miles from Fulton in Oswego county. The negotiations are in the hands of Woods, a local business and hotel broker. Property values involved aggregated more then $30,000.
The Willard House is a forty-room hotel, a combination of old and new structures, dating the oldest one back to post-bellum days.
The farm is a 175 acre tract devoted to general farming use. In the exchange all stock, tools and equipment, in addition to several substantial buildings on the land are to go to the new owner.
Of these, the stock constitutes a valuable part. There is a herd of eighteen Holstein cattle, one of them a registered bull, held ny his former owner at $2,000.
Thaddeus Olds of Weedsport buys the farm. Lester M. Senden takes over the hotel. The hotel has changed hands only three times during it's half century career. Tenants in both places have been notified to vacate by April 1st.

Philip M. Kelly
Philip M. Kelly died at his home on Wardwell street this morning at 6 o’clock. Mr. Kelly, who was 34 years of age, was the son of the late William Kelly, who died some nineteen years ago. He was a carpenter by trade and an active worker until about three months ago, when he became incapacitated by the ravages of that dread disease, tuberculosis, which was the cause of his death. His entire life was spent in Adams.
He was married in 1902 to Miss Jennie Phillips, and leaves his widow, two children, Richard P. and Robert F., his mother, two brothers and two sisters.
The funeral will be at the house on Saturday at 2 p. m. at which the Rev. S. S. Davis will officiate.
Jefferson County Journal, Wednesday, April 19, 1916, front page, col 5
Philip M. Kelly, who died at his home on Wardwell street, March 29, was born in this village January 1, 1882. He spent his entire life here and drew to himself a large circle of warm friends. He was a carpenter by trade and leaves many a memorial in the village in the form of careful and painstaking workmanship.
In 1902 he married Miss Jennie Phillips, and to them were born two sons, Richard and Robert, now twelve and nine years of age.
Mr. Kelly lived for his family. Their pleasant home was built largely by his own labor and for their sakes he was never idle so long as health left it possible for him to work. But about three months ago failing health caused by tuberculosis obliged him to give up work. He had since been a great sufferer, but brave and patient until the end which came peacefully last Wednesday morning.
The funeral services Saturday afternoon were conducted by his pastor, Rev. S. S. Davis, who, by his visits had brought much cheer and comfort during Mr. Kelly’s illness. The firemen were present in a body and read their beautiful service for their departed brother Many messages of sympathy were expressed by beautiful floral offerings from relative, friends, groups of fellow workmen and other societies. The remains rest in Elmwood cemetery.
He leaves besides his widow and sons, his mother, two brothers and two sisters. His father, William Kelly, died many years ago.

W. J. Nicholson Dies From Fall
Broken Back Proves Fatal to Brownville Man
Fell From Loft October 18
Lingered Many Weeks in Hospital With Several Fractured Vertebrae But Had Weakened Within Past Few Days
William J. Nicholson, age 57 years, a resident of Glen Park where he made his home with his brother, Harry Nicholson, died at St. Joachim’s hospital on Thursday evening at 11:35 after being a patient in the hospital since Oct. 18.
Death was due to several fractured vertebrae which he sustained on the evening of Oct. 18, when he fell from a hay loft in the stables conducted by Alvin Roe in the rear of the Graystone hotel in Court street, where he had gone to sleep. On the afternoon of Oct. 18 Mr. Nicholson with another man came to this city by means of a horse and wagon.
The two men parted and the next morning Nicholson was found on the floor of the stable where he had fallen from the hay loft. When he was first found it was thought that he was intoxicated and he was left in the stables for some time. Later it was seen that he was suffering from much pain and he was rushed to th hospital where it was determined that he had fractured several vertebrae in his back.
After the man was removed to the hospital and examined it was thought that he would pass away within days. His strong constitution, however, had prolonged death until Thursday evening. At times since that accident it has been reported that Mr. Nicholson had rallied and it was thought that he might even recover. His condition, however, had been weakening for the past week.
Mr. Nicholson was born in Kingston, Ont., Canada, the son of the late John and Margaret Nicholson. For many years he resided in Canada and about 37 years ago came to this country. For some time he had made his home with his brother in Glen Park.
He was a locomotive engineer and for many years was employed by the New York Central. Just prior to the accident he had been employed by the town of Brownville and was working on a county road for some time. Many years ago he was married and his wife went to a western state to reside. Upon the death of his wife he returned to northern New York.
Surviving Mr. Nicholson are five brothers, Ernest of Ann Arbor, Harry of Glen Park, Thomas of Kingston, Ontario, James of Georgetown, Washington, and Charles of Kingston, and one sister, Mrs. John Bearance of Kingston.
The remains were removed to the Guilfoyle parlors and on Saturday will be taken by motor hearse to Kingston, Ontario, where funeral services will be held and burial made.

Florence A. Kelly
Miss Florence A. Kelly, aged 46 years, died at the home of her father, John E. Kelly, on Church Street West, Thursday, July 7, at 10:45 a. m.
Because of ill health she had been making her home with her father and her sister, Mrs. Margaret Cannan, since April 30, coming here from New York, where she had lived for the past twelve years. She was employed by the government during the World war in the manufacture of gas masks, from which she suffered a severe attack of chemical poisoning which left her heart in a weakened condition. She has recently finished a complete course in a beauty culture school and the close application to this work helped to hasten her end.
At 8:30 Thursday morning she came downstairs, took her heart medicine at the usual time and then went to her room to lie down again. At 9:30 her sister entered the room and finding her seriously ill summoned Dr. Hollis, but all efforts to revive her failed.
Florence Kelly was born in Kingston, Ont., the daughter of John E. and Catherine McDonald Kelly, and came to Adams to live when about a year old. She was educated in the Adams schools and was a member of St. Ceclia's church of Adams, where services were held Saturday morning at 9:30, Rev. Father J. R. McClure of Sackets Harbor officiating. Burial was made in Elmwood cemetery.
Miss Kelly was of a very lovable, kindly nature and was always ready with services in illness or trouble. She had many friends who will miss her and her death is a severe loss to her family and friends.
She is survived by her father and the following brothers and sisters: John E. Kelly, Jr., of Watertown, Margaret Cannan of Adams, Mrs. Harry A. Brown, Mrs. John Thornley and Mrs. John F. Collins of Syracuse, Allen R. Kelly of Washington D. C., and Harry A. Kelly of Adams; also an aunt, Mrs. Flora McDonald, of Adams. A sister, Mrs. Harry A. Brown, of Syracuse, was unable to be present at the services as had just undergone a serious operation. Other brothers and sisters with their families were present at the services, also Mrs. Anna Eagan, R. W. Eagan, Geo. F. Kelly and family of Syracuse.
