| has gloss | eng: :There is also a Kelleys Island, Ohio. Kellys Island is one of three islands in Conception Bay, Newfoundland, Canada. There are no residences on Kellys Island. The western end is Crown land which was used by local farmers for cattle grazing. The eastern end of the island was granted, in two identical grants, to two Church of England clergymen on December 31, 1899. Presumably in hopes of exploiting iron ore if it turned out that the then operating iron ore mine on nearby Bell Island ran under Kellys Island. Ultimately, the iron ore deposit on Bell Island was found to run AWAY from Kellys Island, and so the granted land was never developed. |
