Don,

I found this article while looking at our old newspapers in micro-film here in Blount Co. Tennessee. Thought you might like to add it to your Franklin Co. web-site.

J.S. Kelly 87th Birthday

 

In the early morning, Monday, July 21, the relatives and neighbors began to wind their way to "Country Home" to celebrate the 87th birthday of J.S. Kelly, familiarly called "Uncle Jack"."  

 

The birthday cake was presented by two step daughters, Mrs. Maggie Parker and Mrs. Carl Evans, with the dates 1834 - 1930. 

 

All brought good-to-eats and nicely prepared.  "Uncle Jack", himself, sat at the new Atwater Kent and entertained the 50 persons who were present to enjoy the feast. (note: Atwater Kent was a radio)

 

His children tried to make it a perfect day for him.  The out of the neighborhood guest were Marion Russell of Dallas, Texas, his stepdaughters from Seminole and Oat Kelley from the same place, Richard Tompkins' two daughters of Little Rock, Mrs. L.D. Huggins, Ozark, and Mrs. Wm. Ketchem of Earlsboro.

 

Everyone was pleasant and left at the close of a perfect day, wishing him happy days and good cheer.
