1. William Ford Kelley

Notes:

Haynes Kelley: "He had a missing tooth. He had a replacement, but it obviously was not an original. You could tell it was whiter. It was this white thing, and the teeth on either side were not nearly so white. And he had had it since he was a child, and some kid, they had been throwing gravel, and he'd caught a piece of gravel in the mouth and knocked his tooth out. I think he had been on the top of the house."

William married Ida Elizabeth Millar on 20 Nov 1937 in Holt,Alabama. Ida (daughter of William Douglas Millar, Sr and Almeda MacMillin Bush) was born on 2 Sep 1913 in Fairfield, AL; died on 20 Oct 1994 in DCH Reg Med Ctr,Tuscaloosa,Alabama; was buried on 23 Oct 1994 in Elmwood Cemetery,Birmingham,Alabama.

Notes:

Name:
Named for her two grandmothers.

Notes:

On some records, including a family tree recorded on the back of a 1950
election ballot by his son Haynes, Cott's first name was shown to be
Cotton but he swore it was always Cott. That same family tree showed
Cott's place of birth as "Gold City, Simpson Co. KY".

Cott married Sallie Louise Haynes on 9 Jun 1912 in Souix City,Iowa. Sallie (daughter of Dr. William Henry Haynes and May Ida Weaver) was born on 25 Jun 1883 in Moore's Hill,Indiana; died on 12 Jun 1978 in Birmingham,Alabama; was buried in Elmwood Cemetery,Birmingham,Alabama.

Notes:

A family tree, recorded on the back of a 1950 election ballot by her son
Haynes, showed her first name as "Sara".

It was said that if she had been a man, she'd be the chairman of General Motors.

The Haynes girls Grace and Louise lived with my great grandparents parents, the George Mattox family, for some time in a little house near the corner of Manchester and Moore Streets in Aurora, Indiana. I believe it was equivalent to their high school years. I have a vague recollection of their mother having died or being very sick, I also vaguely believe their father may have been a doctor. What I am sure of is that the house was full---two Mattox girls, Mary Ruth and Rosa Lee as well as two boys. (Somewhere I have a picture of a party of girls all lying on a bed smiling and clowning around. The four girls are in the picture, which I will eventually find.) The result was that the women were friends all their lives. In about 1959 or so they decided to have a get-together here at our house in Springfield. My mother Frances Platt Bradley and I were living with my grandmother Mary Ruth Platt. They came by train and stayed about a week. I was about 15 at the time and it was long ago, but a few memories remain. Most particularly I remember the mood. It seemed like we spent a week laughing. There were a lot of shared memories and old in-jokes. One I remember particularly. There had been a car trip to Springfield in the thirties I think, a time when our then new man made lake was filling up. Apparently my mother and uncle had made a big deal of it and when taken out to see it. The Robergs particularly thought it was a great joke so that even in the fifties the folks from the coast were still making fun of our puddle. I remember both women as being very proud of their children and bragging about them. Louise struck me as warm and friendly with a nice common touch. Grace was my favorite. She was elegant, dressed to the nines (shopped at I, Magnin) and conversed with a teenage boy as if he were an adult. Louise told us about Birmingham and Grace told us all about Bellingham Washington where they lived and where Ralph had a paper factory. They also had a house in the woods called Woodwinds, which I thought sounded very exotic. After that I know Louise continued to write regularly a line of round hand writing. My mother had a brother George who taught law at the University of Oregon and on some trips out there she would call or see Jane Roberg. Phil Bradley, Springfield, Illinois, June 26, 2011

Notes:

Cott & Sallie met at the University of Kentucky.

Notes:

Haynes Kelley: "They were living in Woodward. That's of course where Tingham has all her fond memories of living in Woodward. And then, the story is the guy who ran the coke plant there, who was in charge of it, his son finished college and needed a job, and so they decided that the superintendent of the coke plant, the job that my grandfather had, was a job that had to be filled by somebody who had a college degree. And so they unceremoniously fired--let my grandfather go. But Tingham had scarlet fever, so they couldn't move for six months or a year. They stayed there with my grandfather not having a job, just living in company housing until they moved to Holly Court, which is up this way."
