Kelly, Thomas, J.P., Farmer, Ohariu Valley. Born in Tipperary, Ireland, Mr. Kelly came out to Melbourne in 1858, and three years later to Otago, where he was at Gabriel's Gully rush, subsequently taking part at Hokitika. He settled in Ohariu Valley in 1866, acquiring twenty-five acres of land. The homestead he now occupies, which is situated on a lovely knoll, is all that could be desired. In 1867 Mr. Kelly was married to a daughter of Mr. Thomas Bassett, of Ohariu Valley.
