The Oak Hills Camp was assigned the care, for the past year, of the DUP "marker located at the entrance en-trance to Kelly's Grove in Hobble Creek Canyon. The group decided to research re-search the history behind the marker and recount it to the members attending the company meeting. In attendance at the meeting was a great, great-grandaughter of Joseph Jo-seph Kelly, who brought a painting of the property as it looked when it was being homesteaded by the Kelly family. Joseph Kelly and his wife, Elizabeth Potter Kelly, Kel-ly, were part of the Spring-; Spring-; ville Pioneers of 1852. They had ten children. He was later calld to serve a mission mis-sion for the IDS church in Australia and Tasmania. When he returned home he homesteaded 160 acres in Hobble Creek Canyon, the area now known as. Kelly's Grove and the Hobble Creek Golf Course. They always welcomed people into their home, and the ranch reamined in the Kelly family for three generations. This Daughters of Utah Pioneers marker is at the entrance to Kelly's Grove campground in Hobble Creek Canyon. It was erected in 1941 in memory of the Kelly family who homesteaded the land in the 1800s. Joseph and Elizabeth's son, George, inherited the ranch and turned a portion por-tion of it into a recreation area with camping sites. A rodeo was held next to the barn every Saturday night during camping season. In 1949, property was sold to Springville City and developed devel-oped into a golf course and recreation center. Part of the property was sold for summer homes. The following is the text as it reads on the marker: Daughters of Utah Pioneers No. 74 Erected June 22, 1941 The Kelly Ranch Joseph and Elizabeth Potter Kelly, Springville pioneers of 1852, homesteaded home-steaded 160 acres in Hoi-bble Hoi-bble Creek Canyon which remained in the Kelly Family for 79 years, three generations.
