well, here’s the link to the obituary. Kids, don’t be like me, and keep yourself anonymous etc. on the Internet, but my cat has long since fled the bag and I’m old and tired. I just want to share it because, well, I don’t know why. (The excerpted paragraph has my suggested edits, LOL.) I hadn’t noticed the Tolkienesque semicolons until now but I think that’s probably Farmsister’s doing. I tried to include Mom in the restoration project credits but she edited herself back out, which is hardly fair. Oh well, the matriarch has spoken.

John C Kelly, 1944-2020 https://sanvidgefuneralhome.com/tribute/details/1230/John-Kelly/obituary.html .

In his retirement, John was very active in his church, Transfiguration North of Schaghticoke, especially in stewardship of its cemetery. He was a docent at the NYS Military Museum in Saratoga; a member of the 125th NY Volunteer Infantry Association, a group of Civil War re-enactors; and a member of the 35th Infantry Regiment Association, attending its yearly reunions. He was a treasured volunteer and jack-of-all trades at the Hart-Cluett Museum/Historic Rensselaer County in Troy. Additionally, he was very busy with many personal projects, from working on his Jeep collection to restoring the exterior of the 1825 farmhouse at daughter Ann’s Laughing Earth Farm on Rte. 2 in Cropseyville.

Those wishing to remember John in a special way are asked to send contributions to the Hart-Cluett Museum, 57 2nd Street, Troy NY 12180.

Due to the pandemic, the family will have a private service, with interment to follow at Saratoga National Cemetery when it is safe. (Your picture was not posted)
