2nd wife of John M Kelley
Allie Kelley
When you reach ninety the clan really gathers to celebrate, they say. This certainly was the case for Allie Kelley. The first contingent arrived in time for her birthday party in the Nursing Home where there was a beautifully decorated cake designed by one of the "Girls", and punch. The centerpiece followed the golden yellow theme. What a lot of fun and picture-taking went on! Then the really big affair on Thanksgiving when there were sixty-four present from near and far including California, Utah, Texas, Mississippi and Oklahoma.
Allie Belle, the fourth and only living child of A.J. and Mary Brown, was born in Memphis, Tennessee on Nov. 24, 1891. When only six weeks old the family moved to Eastland County, Texas, by train. In 1902 they came to Mtn. View. There she attended the old Star School for eight years. (During that time her best friend was Irma Fries who later resided in the Carnegie Nursing Home where they resumed their companionship.) During those years her father was Deputy Sheriff of Washita County. When they then moved to Carnegie he served Caddo County in the same capacity.
She married John M. Kelley on Dec. 6, 1922 and loved his tiny daughter as she did her own son and daughters, Mr. Kelley was a carpenter and ginner. He died in Feb., 1952. The family resided in Carnegie except for two years during W.W. II when they were in California in the shipyards and later, three years were spent in charge of the County Farm east of Anadarko. Mrs. Kelley was always busy, much of the time as an alterations worker for Penney's and other dry good stores. She is never idle even now when she is confined to her wheel chair. As long as she has a crochet hook and some yarn in reach she is busily making anything that she sees or knows could be used--witness her many, many beautiful afghans
Her son and one daughter have gone ahead to be with their father, but their children were among the celebrants which include 15 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren.
Many happy returns, Allie!!
