Kelly was converted in 1841, and admitted on trial in the SC Conference in 1844; appointed to California in 1851; lost a child in Stockton, CA and returned to SC in 1853. "He was one of Nature's noblemen, six feet and a half high, with a frame in full proportion, he was a man of mark anywhere. His intellectual man seems also to have been on a large scale. He was a born ruler, and had he remained in California, no doubt he would have led his brethren in many a hard-fought field. He had a magnificent voice, while his powers of song were of no mean order. On his return to SC he became a leader among his brethren there. He was a great reader, and kept himself fully informed on the great topics of the day. On the 17th of February, 1885, he arose and, after leading in family worship with more than ordinary unction and fervor, he ate a hearty breakfast and walked out into the garden alone, and in a few moments after was found dead. Like Moses he died alone." - History of Southern Methodism on the Pacific Coast, 1886. Rev Kelly wrote a letter dated 2 O'clock am, February 18th, a few hours before he passed away.
