Funeral Service Journal Depicts Daimler Hearse at Main, Pioneer

What showed up in the pages of the May edition
of Funeral Service Journal, based in Sussex, England, but a photo of the Daimler hearse passing
the flagpole at Main and Pioneer, carrying the remains of Army Col. (ret.) James J. Kelly to the funeral at St. Mary’s “Our Lady of the Lake” Roman Catholic Church.
Peter Deysenroth, proprietor of Connell, Dow & Deysenroth, Cooperstown, had borrowed the 1971 vehicle from Gordon Terry, funeral director in Edmeston, for the occasion. Peter told Funeral Service Journal the classic car, outfitted by Thomas Startin of Birmingham, England, “lent an air of class, dignity and respect to the funeral.”
The article was illustrated with two photos, one from The Freeman’s Journal, the other by HoF Photographer Milo V. Stewart, Jr.
Colonel Kelly, who had been a Cooperstown village justice, was buried in Arlington National
Cemetery outside Washington, D.C.
