JOSEPH H. KELLY, 
 
of Mission District, San Bernardino County, is known far and wide as the most 
extensive dealer and trainer of horses in the county. He has a fine ranch of 100 
acres, on which he has recently built a neat and comfortable residence. For the 
past ten years he has given his entire attention to horses, and at present has 
about fifty head, some of them as well bred as any in the State. Last spring he 
sold a pair of trotters for $6,000. Mr. Kelly is a native of Quincy, Illinois, 
and came to California in 1861. In the spring of 1862 he went to Holcomb valley, 
where he followed mining and teaming for a number of years. Fourteen years ago 
he was married, and bought the ranch on which he at present resides.
