Kelley, Native of Virginia, Suffered Intensely From Burns Received Years Ago. By the Associated Press. COVINGTON, Ky., April 25.—J. Rob- ert Kelley, 60, president of the Kelley- Koett X-ray Manufacturing Co., Cov- ington, dled at his home Thursday night after a long illness. Known_throughout the medical world for the X-rays he manufactured, the malady which afflicted him was be- leved to have been contracted during the days of his experiments. During his earlier years of investigation, Kelley received many burns which caused him intense suffering throughout his later . Born in Thessali iles County, Va., November 17, 1871, at the age of 20 he became a telegrapher. Then he en- gaged in the retail shoe business in Huntington, W. Va. In 1895 he went to Butte, Mont.,, as manager of a shoe concern and later to Boston. Mr. Kelley visioned great possibilities in the discovery of the X-ray by Roent- n, and with what limited means he d he devoted much of his time to experimental work. In 1902 he came to Covington and opened a small X-ray shop which was destined to become one of the largest of its kind in the United States. PRESENTING 1722 C Street N.E. In that new and pretentious development near East- ern High School and Anacostia Parkway, A Wisely Restricted Community With its expansion Mr. Kelley en- tered into a Partne’rahlp with Albert B. Koett of Covington under the name of the Kelley-Koett X-ray Manufacturing Co., and the firm assumed a foremost place in the industry. During the World War the facilities of the company were placed at the dis- posal of the Federal Government for use on the battlefields and in hospitals. Mr. Kelley, unmarried, was active in civic and State affairs, and was vice chairman of the Kentucky Progress Commission. He was much interested in the development of aviation, and his frequent flights earned for him the un- official title of “Kentucky's Alr Ambas- sador.” Thalberg and Wife to Sail.
