Notes 
Text:
! BIRTH: Birth Record: Sullivan, Sullivan Co., Indiana Kelley Family Bible; in possession of Donald Kelley
! MARRIAGE: Marriage Record: Chicago, Cook Co., Illinois
! NEWSPAPER: Sullivan Co., IN; 1955 "How 'Kelly's Landing" Came By The Name" by Wm. T. Turman West of Sullivan is the east edge of Turman Township, is a neighborhood that is known as "Kelly's Landing". One of the great grandchildren of the early settler, now a barber in Sullivan, told me how the region came by that name: He said: "In the early days the folks in that vicinity floated logs down the small creek to a sawmill further west, where there was more water. This would be in the spring when rains would flood the creeks. One time the logs got jammed, near the Kelly place, and couldn't be moved. And so a sawmill was brought in and a dam was built, so as to float the logs to a 'landing' place up to the saw. Thus the place was soon known as 'Kelly's Landing'."
