I'm very sorry for your loss. Yes, B...Hi There,<br />I'm very sorry for your loss. Yes, Bobbie and Marion were Mildred's children from a previous marriage! I only know because my great-grandmother Ethel Kelley Booth kept Mildred's obituary clipping, she wrote 5 August 1961 on it:<br /><br />Mrs. Arthur T. Kelley<br />Mrs. Mildred Elizabeth Kelley, wife of Arthur T. of South Yarmouth, formerly of Avon, died last evening in a local hospital where she had been for a week.<br />She was a native of Brighton and was a daughter of Clarence and Hattie (Baker) Brown. Her parents survive her.<br />She and Mr. Kelley were married in 1940 and made their home in Avon for 10 years. After Mr. Kelley's retirement they went to South Yarmouth where they lived for 11 years.<br />Mrs. Kelley attended the Baptist Church in South Yarmouth. She was much interested in the Boston Eye Bank and active in its welfare. She donated her eyes to the bank.<br />Besides her parents and her husband, she leaves three daughters, Mrs. Frank (Barbara) Leach of this city, Mrs. George S. (Marion) Trent, also of Brockton and Mrs. A. Arthur (Elizabeth Ann) Van Buren of of Roebling, NJ; five grandchildren and a brother, Clarence Brown of Avon.<br />The funeral will be held Monday at 2:30 pm in the funeral home, 309 Main Street, this city. Interment will be in Avon Cemetery, Avon.<br /><br />My email is on the left side of this page if you need to contact me with any other questions.

And I have questions! My mother always told us there were 13 siblings all together. But that is not what we find here or in the work given to my mom by James Roscoe. And the two closest in age to her that we spent a great deal of time with as children, Bobbie and Marion, are not listed anywhere. We (her children) are so confused! Were they not actually her sisters? Maybe stepsisters? Did Mildred have previous children? Something else? <br />We found your blog because we couldn't name all of the siblings ourselves and began searching. Now we have more questions than we started with and no one else to ask!Thatchermomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11567992760965009390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-31507441703770963242022-10-29T10:51:15.956-04:002022-10-29T10:51:15.956-04:00Hi Janice, I'm so sorry to hear about what you...Hi Janice, I'm so sorry to hear about what you are dealing with. I don't have that photo of Hazel, but I will reach out to James and see if he does.

I am Janice, Arthur Kelley's daughter. I have Alzheimer's Disease now--my Dad was going to leave family history and photos to me--when he died my sister took over the house and says she "can't find" any photos--I don't even have any childhood photos of myself! What I am especially looking for is a head shot of Hazel, taken as an adult. Dad knew I adored Hazel and always wanted that photo. I believe it exists in the family realm somewhere. Can anyone copy one for me?--it must exist somewhere in the Kelley realm. I would be forever appreciative.--Janice KelleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3037326832482088445.post-81084144981115737892013-07-16T22:38:10.148-04:002013-07-16T22:38:10.148-04:00Hi Chris, another branch heard from, James roscoe ...Hi Chris, another branch heard from, James roscoe reached out to me today, and my grandfather was Ralph Kelley, son of Arthur. My mother was Ralph's only daughter, Beverly Mae Kelley, and I am one of her three daughers, Candace, Linda, and Roberta. I read more tonight about our family history than i ever knew before, so this is really interesting for me!
