MR. EDITOR-I wish to inquire for my brother, Calvin Kelly. He left home during the war. The last time I heard from him, in 1876, he was in Chicago, Illinois. Our father's name was George. He belonged to Lee Bentley at Lawrenceburg, Lawrence county, Tenn. Our mother's name was Nancy; she belonged to Widow Sallie Kelly, on Knob Creek, 6 miles from West Point, Lawrence county, Tenn. There were eight children of us, five boys and three girls: Henry, Calvin, Louis, John and George; Violet, Adeline, Marion. Brother Calvin said in his letter that he had been married, and two children, a boy and a girl, were living; the boy was Thomas, I forget the girl's name. His wife and one child are dead. Our mother was dead when he left. Our father died Nov. 5, 1882. My name is Violet Welch now. Address me, in care of Rev. H. C. Welch, Lawrenceburg, Lawrence county, Tenn.
