From the March, 1921 issue of Erie Railroad Magazine:
A notice of the death of Michael C. Kelly appeared in the Port Jervis Gazette. It stated that he was a Delaware Division engineer, and died at his home in that city after a short illness at the age of 76 years. He entered the service as fireman about 59 years ago, and later was promoted to engineer, which position he held until 1914, when he was retired on reaching the age limit.
