A northern Illinois creek that's been hidden by woods and shrubs is about to see the light of day, thanks to a $30,000 grant and Nature at the Confluence.
The Confluence's executive director Therese Oldenburg said Kelly Creek in South Beloit is named after Mary Kelly.
"She was part of the Irish farming families that settled there," she said. "Mary Kelly had her home right there so 'Kelly Creek' it is," she said.
